yay101 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I am glad that this El Loco isn't the stereotypical El Loco layout! I like it a lot and I can't wait for it to open!
gisco Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 It does look slow but I don't think you will notice much due to the tight space. Passing by the supports and such will make the ride feel faster then it is.
coasterfreak101 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Not sure why everyone's saying it looks slow - if anything, it looks way quicker and less-braked than the other El Locos out there. There were rumors of problems with the cars getting around the track after an E-Stop, so I bet you can be guaranteed the brakes will be on light all the time!
Robocoaster Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 "Opening Late January" has been removed and replaced with "Coming Soon". Since I have Thurs and Fri off this week, I was kinda hoping...
Xmeister Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 They did a wonderful job integrating the ride with the park! That first drop looks like it'll give some great air. Looking forward to riding it!
Mr Stratosphere Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Hey everyone! Here's a video of the testing I just took. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Edited January 30, 2014 by Mr Stratosphere
KBrylczyk Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 ^ Nice. Had to click the link, though. The embed isn't working.

Mr Stratosphere Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I must say I am very impressed with how quiet the ride is, the lift is the loudest, but not as loud as Canyon Blaster, and for those of you who have been here know, Canyon Blaster roars through the park!
arby Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 That's awesome! Thanks for posting it. Road trip to Vegas! Who's in?
SuperShawn Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I must say I am very impressed with how quiet the ride is, the lift is the loudest. That's what I thought about Steel Hawg. Just super silent in an almost eerie way.
Mr Stratosphere Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Here is the video with better lighting and stabilization. Hey everyone! Here's a video of the testing I just took. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
Condor Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Man, I wish they had built this before I moved! Rides and family attractions haven't been the focus of the Vegas strip in a long time, but we really needed this. Hopefully I'll make a trip back there to ride it soon.
Mr Stratosphere Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The temporary work fences are now done in The Passage of Time. A permanent fence is now in place and you can get very close to the final brake run. Just a year ago this was Rim Runner's trough. We see you Canyon Blaster!
DougMJr Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I can't wait to get back to Las Vegas to try this out. Chances are it will be my first El Loco.
SuperShawn Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Seems like a zippy fun ride. Thanks for all the great coverage John.
JeromyL Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Don't forget. We need a meetup to go ride El Loco and have dinner when it opens. Mr stratosphere, your dinner is on me. Thanks for all the the updates!!!
LiMiT Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 El Loco is getting a bit tipsy with its two weird banking segments. I can't wait to get a chance to ride!
Mrlittle Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The ride looks great. Thanks for posting the photos and videos of it testing.
downunder Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Don't forget. We need a meetup to go ride El Loco and have dinner when it opens. Mr stratosphere, your dinner is on me. Thanks for all the the updates!!! Have a scorpion and main sized nachos at the Peppermill before, I dare you. The ride looks sweet, it absolutely zips around that track.

'Blueberry Hill" (I think that was the name of it). local friends took us there last time we were in town and RAVED about it. I thought it was a lot of food, but wasn't that impressed with the *quality* of it. . .
