XYZ Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I always laugh when I look at that brake run because it looks a lot like a B&M Floorless being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 So, the brake run will lead right into the station? I was under the impression that that area would be the transfer area, and the station was right at the base of the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to improve your impressions You're correct - it's brake run, transfer, station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom497 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Anyone else think it would be a cool idea that if Wonderland were to bring back the show, actual guests who visited the park during that day could be in the show??? The employees with the cameras at the front of the park could say "Get your picture taken and you could be in tonight's Starlight Spectacular show!!!". And before the show starts, someone can put some of the pictures from the day into the show. It would probably increase the # of pictures taken at the front entrance and I'm sure people would love to see their faces on Wonder Mountain. Cool idea???

Cyber.Fiber Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) That could be a great idea... Instead of filling the mountain with those small colored cubes, you could replace the face of each one with a picture... As the mountain ripples, the pictures would get larger for a few seconds... It would also be interesting if they programmed the projection to be some sort of multimedia / social networking display that took people's tweets / mms / facebook and projected them on the face of the mountain as well. That way people could contribute their own pictures and (positive) thoughts of their day to the show...

Disney does this nightly and its actually incredibly stupid in my opinion. Its often difficult to make out the picture and even then, I don't care at all of seeing pictures of other people.

Cyber.Fiber Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 ^Yes, but you're probably in the minority. I was recently in New York City Times Square... there is an American Eagle billboard that displays your photo for 15 seconds, and let me tell you, there wasn't a time where you couldn't hear a group of people screaming and jumping when their picture came up... It's been super sucessful there, and if it could potentialy increase the amount of photos taken and sold In the park then why would it be a bad idea?

I know that and i don't quite find it stupid. I would actually just go to the park every few days just to get my face on the mountain even if it were for 3 seconds. I also has some free time on my hands so i submitted the idea to Tantrum......just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimowalk Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think that's a great idea, but for the post-show. I'm looking forward to some tweaking of the show for next year, especially since I'm not really a fan of the way the show starts. After the Fireflies beginning was moved to the post-show (because people thought it was boring and started leaving), it feels like the show starts somewhere in the middle. I thought it would be a neat idea to bring in the Peanuts characters to introduce the show. What if Charlie Brown showed up at the top of the mountain turning a valve as the falls are gradually slowing to a trickle? Then other characters come out creating a dialogue, calling him a block head and such, to give the falls some time to stop. Then it could start raining or something so they all run away and the show starts with the volcano scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom497 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 ^that would be an awesome show....will it every happen....probably not. The fact of turning on and off the falls would need spot on timing because to turn on the falls, u have to turn on the pumps which could take a few seconds while to turn them of u would need to shut off the pumps and wait till enough water to over the edge for the water to level out and stop falling over the edge.

PCW_Nut Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Quick update from the weekend. They have finishing the "barrel roll", the high speed curve, and the entry into the first camel back. Ride is looking amazing as you can see. Enjoy. Artsy shot #1 My new wallpaper at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netdvn Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Can somebody explain how the first turnaround is a barrel roll again? It looks more like an overbank to me. Oh and does it count as an inversion? I think I might've missed the memo on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I may be wrong, but I think it kinda cuts out early. As in it starts out as an overbank and then sorta heartlines out to level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Honestly, they should've called it something else other than barrell roll, a barrel roll to me seems like a zero-G roll not an overbank-like turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
