DenDen Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Don't worry Buddy Johnson, they're not pissed at you. It's obvious that the videos are being overloaded. When you first posted the links, they worked fine. I got to see them.
Rocket Rodder Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 None of these POVs work for me, and it's really upsetting. No need to be upset, dude, it's not Buddy's fault, now. In time, they will go to youtube. I'm sure the rest of us can wait until then. But man, those pictures are awesome!
Musical Pete Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 One of the videos loaded straight away (the front POV) and the other will supposedly take several hours. I'm using RealPlayer's new flash download feature (great for saving YouTube vids, too!). What a fantastic structure! I prefer the simpler, circular geometry of older coasters, I don't like slpine curves and high banking much - but I do love Balder, and I can't deny that I love the structure of these modern Intamin woodies. They're very precisely designed, yet look more random than most vintage coaster structures. It's certainly never going to be a bad thing having another of these in the world!
pixelated Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The beginning of the lift hill looks a bit... tight. I wonder how many people bonk their heads on this... Ouch...
Musical Pete Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Simple answer - nobody. Rides are built with a safety envelope these days. The kinematic envelope of the car has riders and their arms (and legs for suspended coasters) added to it, and the structure is built to clear this envelope. If any part of structure encroaches on this safety envelope, it must be modified before operating. Older rides however, frequently flout it which is quite funny. It's a case of new things having to conform to modern regulations, and old things being allowed to stay as they are in a lot of cases. Silly, but true. Allen and Cobb coasters with the taller handrails, built from the late 70s onwards don't actually have a safe envelope as their trestle legs are on 8' centres and you can touch the handrails and passing structure with your fingers. GASM at your home park for instance, had its handrails raised a foot as Allen built them 2'6" tall before regulations stipulating 3'6" came in, and as the structure uses the old 8' centres, the legs and handrails are slightly too close to the cars - that's why some Allen/Cobb coasters now have pads fitted to the cars to make it harder to stick your arms out the side.
Pufferfish Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Wow, that coaster has some very nice headchoppers. It looks like it's the love child of el Toro and Boardwalk Bullet. This makes me really want to go to South Korea. Thank you so much for the awesome POVs!
apanbl92 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Does anyone have any photos of the new top scan? Has it opened? [/u]
RonLaan Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I would like to see a youtube video of it. The videos of the links that are posted take ages to load...
The Disneylander Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The trains look RAD. And the station looks like something out of a fairy tale. And the coaster looks awesome! Can't wait to ride it when I visit my relatives again.
matteocrepaldi Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I would like to see a youtube video of it. The videos of the links that are posted take ages to load... I thought the same thing. I've watched till the second drop after the brake run and I gave up. It looks really good so far even if I was expecting to see a fast lift hill like El Toro and that brake run is a little bit too slow.
Buddy johnson Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 ^^^^ The new top scan updates. The official opening is March 14; same as T-Express. http://blog.naver.com/fl0621/80049395786
sfne2005 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Ya know, the POV's for Balder don't do anything for me either but riding it was a completely different story. And the whole section after the MCBR is Balder-esque while the whole first part is like El Toro! How can that be a bad thing!!
SteveC Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 ^ are you making the Korea visit this fall?? (That's Autumn for the non doms)
sfne2005 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 ^ are you making the Korea visit this fall?? (That's Autumn for the non doms) Only if you are.
ECZenith Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 T-Express looks amazing, and so do the ride operators' costumes!
Buddy johnson Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 Official Video update. http://www.everland.com/park/everland/attraction/1188090_4755.html
coastercrazed49 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 This video isn't working either. I'm not sure if its my computer or it has to do something with the page. I can hear the sound, but the picture isn't showing up.
PKI Jizzman Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 This video isn't working either. I'm not sure if its my computer or it has to do something with the page. I can hear the sound, but the picture isn't showing up. It's you. Working fine for me.
almightyfire Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I was having problems also. It was starting, stopping and jumping around but from what I can see it is an almost clone of el toro but with more twists. it is funny a continent with such little people have such big rides and a lot of our parks cant touch most of the parks over the water.
Justinmin20 Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 MCBR got less harsh~! Check out this POV... http://blog.naver.com/ahkims?Redirect=Log&logNo=130029018164 This one was taken in March 10th, and the other one with the harsh MCBR was taken in 9th, so I guess they were just setting the brake hard only for the first day of the soft opening(which was 9th) and... I also found out the G Forces for T-Express; 4.5G//-1.5G pretty intense!
ahecht Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 The quality is crappy, but for those that can't get the Korean video to load, it's up on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRrGHvMWCCY
alpengeist04 Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 ^^It took me a while to download, but it was worth it. Thanks for the link, Justinmin20.
