kraken613 Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I didnt notice that havnt looked at that cam in a few days.
Moose Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I may eat my words on this, but that seems like an odd place to put a slime geyser with ripsaw going practically right over it.
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 build a SLIME fountain like the one in Universal. I remember it being totally awesome! seems like an odd place to put a slime geyser with ripsaw going practically right over it. As much as I'd LOVE to see the Slime Geyser return, it's not on the agenda. Just wishful and fun thinking for all of us fans.
Adrenaline_Rush Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I may eat my words on this, but that seems like an odd place to put a slime geyser with ripsaw going practically right over it. True, though like ^ said, just wishful thinking, though how cool would it be to see that thing return! Hey anyone know what that thing in the middle of the half circle is? Just let it be known if it is a slime geyser (which it most likely isnt) I was first to call it.
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 ^ I think it's that gazebo that's in some of the concept art. Agreed, it would be most cool to have the geyser back. When I went to US in high school, it was impressive in it's weirdness. A very cool and fun fountain. Good times. Good Times.
kraken613 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I wonder how much track will go up tonight? This thing is going up so fast too. I only wish the drop was in better view! Im sure someone will get out their and get pictures though.
Looty Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 The drop tower is going in that half circle. Also, one of the things mentioned in one of the employee meetings was that there is going to be some sort of slime station/attraction where kids can get slimed. ...I will be at the mall tomorrow so i'll be sure to take some pictures.
Sticky Nicky Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Looty, do you know who is manufacturing the Drop Tower?
kraken613 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Im really looking forward to seeing more pictures of Spongebob!

Yay! Slime Geyser 2.0. Glad you mentioned that Looty.
Looty Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Um, I believe the tower is made by Intamin. It's being called a "spring tower" around here and i think Intamin has a product called "spring tower"
bdstrom Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Since nobody posted webcam-of-the-day picture, I'll take the honor. Notice several new supports and yellow beams on the ground.
kraken613 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 They put up lots of supports last night! that can only mean track tonight!
Sticky Nicky Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That helix looks tight. Mentally and physically. Hopefully they finish the helix before the loop because you won't get to see the helix once the loop is installed.
kraken613 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 So who was it that was going to the park today? Cant wait to see that lift!
Looty Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 ^Me...Here ya go. http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/showthread.php?p=745794&posted=1#post745794
coastercrazed49 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That is one sexy hill. This definitely looks like one forceful ride so far. Can't wait to see the finished product.
kraken613 Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 The webcams are down again! Been at 1:30 for a while.
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Excellent pics Looty. Thanks for taking time to go out there, what with the webcams down of late. Impressive. It's 6:48 central time and the spongebob and avatar webcams are stuck at 1:35 pm. overview is still at 1pm.
kraken613 Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Its really annoying! Looty, your pictures where great! Thanks!
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah, it's tough, but not too long ago, there weren't even webcams to see the progress. If you weren't nearby, you had to wait all winter ( or longer) before finding out what's new and seeing the changes. Hang in there.
kraken613 Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I know. Maybe they will be up by morning so we can see what did happen over night.
Jerways Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Um, I believe the tower is made by Intamin. It's being called a "spring tower" around here and i think Intamin has a product called "spring tower" http://www.ridetrade.com/rti/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=37 This???
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 ^ Wondered that too. Bungee Tower instead of Spring Tower, but same basic idea. Bet that's it. And all this indoors. That just amazes me. EDIT: Since I couldn't sleep tonight, here are a couple pics from RCPro's IAAPA coverage. One is a mirror of a EuroFighter model and the other is G's Spinning Coaster. You might recognize the layout. The mirrored pic, give or take a helix and some track, is a guess at what the final Sponge Bob assembly might look like. Either way, thought it'd be fun to post these in light of no web cams. Enjoy.
TheRapidsNerd Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 It's 1:53 am and the webcam is back up. Yay! (ponders trip to Krystal or Steak n Shake in rain...)
