deguy123 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Here is a link to a local news station that has pictures of Skyrush, it has a few pictures I haven't seen such as pictures upclose to Comet's station. http://www.wgal.com/slideshow/entertainment/30407879/detail.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I am actually quite impressed that Comet is going to be open for Springtime! I figured that whole Hollow area would just be closed off for construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synshine Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Well I assume they'll keep a path down the hill from the Skyride side open straight across to the bridge, so people can use the path on the other side of the creek to move across to the main pathway up to Minetown. And Comet's entrance ramp is basically close to the far end of the station, and providing if crowds aren't too heavy they wouldn't even need the outside queue, provided that's not ready yet.

Real Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Not that it really matters hehe, but will the "Dive" affect which side the lapbar connects to? Pretty sure it will be anchored on both sides. Similar to this (courtesy of RCDB again) - According to the NL Video - which I will assume is very accurate since I know the team pretty well and I know they dont usually do work without - actual renders or CAD - and it only has the bar attaching to one side, much like Pilgrims Plunge but looks to be a larger diameter tube and Im sure the hydraulics will be stronger.

Pictures like the sixth one of this post make me forget that a new B&M wingrider is being built an hour from my house. ^Thats nothing too new. Thats the same braking system as TH13TEEN at Alton Towers. I would imagine details such as this are easily overlooked when riders are worrying about how they'll replace their soiled pants.

TXman308 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You've got to understand that there is some sarcasm involved. Really all I was saying was that B&M Wingrider < Intamin Hyper.
