WestCoasterKing Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Yeah, it doesn't look real. It doesn't look like it should really exist.
Sheep-O-Matic Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Rail Blazer looks like something out of ThrillVille for sure. I can't wait to see it in action.
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I absolutely love the color scheme on this ride. It’s nice to see track work complete!
laqueefa Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I absolutely love the color scheme on this ride. It’s nice to see track work complete! Bring on the theming!
NinjaTurtle Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 ^ Looks like a coaster from the future. Really good looking ride! Â Seriously. I have to do a double take at the live picture because my brain wants to believe it's a CG. Â Seeing it in person is even more strange...especially with the lift now being up.
WestCoasterKing Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Is there going to be any access stairs along the lift hill? I have never seen a roller coaster without evacuation stairs, but none of the renderings or videos show them.
TM3988 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Is there going to be any access stairs along the lift hill? I have never seen a roller coaster without evacuation stairs, but none of the renderings or videos show them. Â I was wondering this exact same thing.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 There won't be any stairs. If the coaster needs to be evacuated, Wonder Woman will come rescue everyone.
WestCoasterKing Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 There won't be any stairs. If the coaster needs to be evacuated, Wonder Woman will come rescue everyone. Wrong park
CaptainUnknown Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 There won't be any stairs. If the coaster needs to be evacuated, Wonder Woman will come rescue everyone. Wrong park Wonder Woman's enough of a BAMF to rescue everyone.

WestCoasterKing Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Right. Of course. Forgot about the jetpacks. Duh. Sorry, dumb country boy from western Washington here.
michaellynn4 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I'm sure both the park and the manufacturer have a contingency plan in for lift-hill evacuations. There's no way they would've been granted permits without one. Not all coasters evacuate lift hills with staircases (ex: Eurofighters).

thrillseeker4552 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 ^I swear, April has a relevant quote for every situation!  As for the catwalks, there were also none on the final brake run (in the concept video) either, so I’m not sure how seriously we should take that video. With that being said, there also doesn’t appear to be any connections/braces to place catwalks (I mean, the track is already so incredibly thin). Who really knows.
dsmman86 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Does anyone have any photos of Loggers Run being dismantled by chance? Has that process even begun?
rumble Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Is there going to be any access stairs along the lift hill? I have never seen a roller coaster without evacuation stairs, but none of the renderings or videos show them. Â I was speaking to the foreman of the ride whilst at the park on Friday and asked him about this. He said there will be a catwalk on the right side of the lifthill. It was omitted from the renderings for clarity.
rumble Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Does anyone have any photos of Loggers Run being dismantled by chance? Has that process even begun? Â There's a pic here: Â The drop and all of the lower-level channel have been dismantled, the station is still standing.
Living_Dead Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Sad about the flume. As ugly as it was, I did like it.
robbalvey Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 Great America Needs Your Photos! Â Â Do you have any older photos of Top Gun/Flight Deck? CGA is looking for users to submit their photos of the coaster through the years if you have them for the upcoming 25th Anniversary of the ride. Please post them here! Thank you!
ABW Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Robb! This ride and I go back a long way. Here's some of what I got. Love this ride!
