Ccron10 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 As for the drop angle, I'm pretty sure that either the camera wasn't 100% level when I took the shot and that I wasn't looking at it completely from the side. Even so, it's steeper than El Toro, which has an insane first drop so I don't think 5 degrees is going to matter. Sooperdooperlooper's brakes do look different from what they were in the summer. The sidewalk goes by the MCBR behind the station so I was checking that out. Earlier last week the running lights were on. I saw some photos this morning that showed the workers moving the top-piece around with the crane and since I haven't heard anything today, I am willing to bet that tomorrow might be the day. I'll be going over again tomorrow afternoon to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The layout is looking really great, it reminds me a bit of I305's layout but hopefully with more airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awptim0 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Looks like a lot of fun, and the new hyper/giga track and lift style Intamin has picked up is fancy. I would LOVE if Magic Mountain got one of these!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double0Kevin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It amazes me how Intamin can make such ugly coasters, yet they are totally beautiful at the same time. That lift is honestly hideous, yet I love how it looks. Damn you Intamin and your ability to totally mind f%#k me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It will probably look a lot better to a lot of people when catwalks are eventually placed on it. Like I said before, photos do not do this ride justice. The lift looks great in the, uhh...metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I guess "crest of lift hill" was simply too mundane nowadays. Turbo Zone of Rapid Deceleration™ (brake run) is mine. Edited January 30, 2012 by Ed Farmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerRudie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Our baby looks beautiful, and in every way. I almost feel like hanging signs up that say "It's a BOY!" Way to go Steelworkers of Pennsylvania for making today happen... Now get to work on the remaining steel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Once they put other things on the lift, (catwalks/track/other stuff), they can finally finish up that layout and get this thing testing. One step at a time, but I'm happy to see progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) From the webcam image, you can see how nuts the drop and first valley are! Edit: picture I found on twitter Edited January 30, 2012 by Fooz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
