dpcman Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 It's too bad they couldn't have gotten the ride open in time for Springtime In The Park since I'm not able to go to the park after this weekend until around Memorial Day. But it's still a great addition to my home park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Ka Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 What do you guys think are the chances of a soft opening by May 15th are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand 0f Time Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Looking very great! Almost complete. Can't wait to see the trains. But not only that, but the test run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'd be willing to take a bet that the track will be done by either tomorrow or Wednesday. Â By the way. Does anyone know if they still have the "100 Years of Happy" lettering on the Kissing Tower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedarpointfangirl Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 That really looks amazing. I bet the first drop will pack a punch just like Maverick. One can wish that the headbanking will not be to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natatomic Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Just so you didn't think I was crazy: Â The cobra roll isn't complete in that picture - that's just one of the tractors/cranes/pieces of machinery that's putting the ride together. Whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 ^ And on how much construction there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I think they just put in the last piece as of 3:00 pm, according to the webcam. However, I can't see the entire cobra roll so I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 ^ It's official. Looks like the last piece is in which is great for Saturday. Â Next they need to test it, landscape it, and finish the station. It looks like a soft opening could be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Wait, what? A soft opening for Saturday? They have to do a pull through, and test it, and finish up the eye candy...... don't get your hopes up. This thing isn't going to open until normal operation starts in May.

Ccron10 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 ^ I didn't say anything about it being open on Saturday (fat chance). I'm just saying that everybody will get great pictures of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Alright, that is what I thought you were getting at, but then you said something about a soft opening being possible. A little confusing there. I don't see a soft opening. I just see if opening up in May. I don't see a point in a soft opening and I don't think the park will either.

PURE Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Maybe its just me but it seems like soft openings don't happen with alot of coasters. I don't even consider that a possibility ever, I don't know why people wonder that all the time. Â That Norwegian loop looks freakin sick. Its gotta be one of the best sit down elements in existence.

yankees15 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Here are some are aerial photos of Fahrenheit from Flyinphilsphotos.com  http://www.flyinphilsphotos.com/amuse/pa/hp/2008-03-30/album0  These pictures give a great idea of exactly where the ride is located. All they need to finish is the first part of the Cobra Roll and the track leading back into the station. Thanks for the pictures Flyinphil! They are great as usual!

BuddyChrist Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have to say that seeing Fahrenheit now that it's built has made me more excited for it. To me, it didn't seem all that great and I was looking more forward to Behemoth and even The Dark Knight. Â The Norwegian Loop looks awesome from the pictures, I'll have to take a trip to Hershey to give this a ride. Many thanks to Flyin Phil for the aerials!
