My goodness, are you guys watching the webcam with a bag of popcorn?

 

[Myself]

Two people are currently walking up the brake run...seems like a promising sign to me!

[DJeXeL]

If I was in charge of the testing, I would dispatch a train and stop it at the top of the lift and just leave it there for the rest of the day to mess with us.

Thought they were moving the transfer track but maybe I'm just seeing things....

[Guest]

There are moving the transfer track

[RyanTPM]

^Hopefully testing is going to start very soon

[coasterchitchat]

Whenever I click the Carowinds link from TPR, it automatically redirects to me to buying a ticket on the homepage. Am I the only one that is getting this prompt?

Am I the only one annoyed* by the fact the three connectors on the lift hill supports are white instead of yellow, like all the others? On the simulation they were yellow, too.

 

(* this is a joke, I couldn't care less. But I'm staring at the webcam since hours and I only see that!)

Sorry, please delete.

Transfer track has been moved back. Not sure if there's a train in the station or not.

Well I'll be damned - I didn't notice that till you pointed it out! Looks like we're not getting any tests today, unless they'll be doing night testing - but I doubt the first test runs would be night runs..

[nswain1110]

Ooh they turned the lift lights on

^The Force is strong with that ride.

[rcjp]

^That would be even more suitable if the ride turned out to be fairly forceful.

Haha - Even more so now that it's gotten a little darker

ITS TESTING ITS TESTING!!!!

[DJeXeL]

^Station is completely dark. Doubtful.

[jarmor]

True.

[VF15]

I doubt we will be seeing any test runs now with how late it is. Tomorrow should be a much better day for testing weather-wise (no rain until evening and high of 77 degrees).

 

Also, sorry if you guys already know about this, but I saw this pop up on Carowinds' website.
