lorddoonga Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 You know todays weather forecast showed no rain until Sat-Sun. Would be great to test run this thing w/o rain interference. Then on the weekend open it and let riders enjoy it between rain showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston Thrills Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 It rained today. Well, it rained here in Nassau Bay, but I don't think it rained in Kemah, which is odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmulder21 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I think all the kinks should be worked out at the end of the week, No rain= better productivity, But as said before "it will open when it's ready..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Does'nt Hades have an Anti-roll back device on its first hill out of the first tunnel. If so why, for the same reasons as this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 ^I am fairly certain for that very same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinBrookeTX Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Great Pics! Does that mean they did a 3rd test run again yesteray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmulder21 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 No, it's still sitting up there from the failed 2nd attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinBrookeTX Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I never notice how steep the 3 hill was from other pics. That drop looks insane. It looks steeper than the first drop or is it just me? Monday at around 6PM. Different day, same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddoonga Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 It's Tuesday still early in the week. If they can make that one adjustment that sends it over. Then use Wed-Fri to give the crash test dummies the test run of their lives. Where and what happened to the first DIS-assembled train? That might give us an indication what they might do today.

lorddoonga Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yep. Thats why I've been saying its probably gonna be the biggest suprise of the entire ride. I never notice how steep the 3 hill was from other pics. That drop looks insane. It looks steeper than the first drop or is it just me? Monday at around 6PM. Different day, same position.

ErinBrookeTX Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I think it will be too. That looks AWESOME. It looks like a nose dive out of nowhere. How exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddoonga Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 It'd be nice to know if the other train was on the track in the station house prepped to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinBrookeTX Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I think Kemah needs to invest in a transtar camera So we can view the progress 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought about it and did some math....Testing nostop would put 100 hrs the earliest 4 days and a few hours. 3 days is impossible even if it is non-stop. I think it will atlease be testing for 7 days (about 14-15 hrs per day) if not more once they get it to continue. I think it will still be lucky if that happens. I think it will be more like 12 days (8-9 hrs per day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddoonga Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I called the Boardwalk admin office (281-535-8100). The receptionist replied, " We haven't decided if we're going to do another test run today." Screaming manic (maniac ?? sp) enthusiasts might knock it down LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterboy25 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I called and asked if they needed a test dummy for the ride, i gladly take part...and just brace myself for the third hill sudden stop of pain. Haha, ok I didnt, but i would gladly take them on that offer. I just started a piggy bank with nothing but quarters so i can pay the 4.75 when this thing opens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
