Randomman295 0 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 For some reason, I really like the CoasterMania picture. Maybe it's because they actually posted pictures of their real rides, after me being so used to the crap I let Six Flags get away with. Link to post Share on other sites
Koasterking48 0 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 ^ It's been better in the past. Last year's was Friday the Thirteenth and the lanyards looked pretty neat. I'm not to crazy about this year's picture. Link to post Share on other sites

CpBluestreakCp 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 At this rate, the Zero-G Roll through the key holes could be done today and maybe the rest of the track in 2 or so weeks, I'd say. They are going pretty quick. Link to post Share on other sites
3Mutts 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Zero G Roll looks smaller than I thought it would be (Hopefully that means more forces ). The entrance is going to looks sweet with Gatekeeper going above it (WAY better than the 1980s entrance). Link to post Share on other sites
CpBluestreakCp 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 ^I think parts of the old entrance were even from the 1960's if I'm not mistaken. Either way, anything is a much needed upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites
coasternut 3 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 They're progress on this coaster is unbelievable, even with their weather. I see IRAT at 6 Flags Fiesta in San Antonio has posted a delay on their site to Summer 2013 from late Spring 2013. I've got to hand it to the Point, they know how to build in any kind of weather. This will be a beautiful improvement to the front entrance. Â Just one question if that is the Gatekeeper, who is the Keymaster??? Also where is Zul??? -- Ghostbuster references...

soldier148 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 How far into the ground are the supports for the keyhole towers? Amazing looking structure by the way. Hopefully my family and I get back up there since our first visit when Maverick opened in '07. Link to post Share on other sites
coasterlover420 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Here is that video mentioning the train lights. No details unfortunately. Still informative about queue location and other things. Link to post Share on other sites
CpBluestreakCp 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 ...now hide the slits. Â I don't think they will. It was mentioned in a blog post that the gaps between the towers will stay in order to make it easier to check the bolts on the supports, if that's what you were referring to by slits.
