Rollercoaster Rider Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 That car looks great! Any lapbar trains on looping coasters look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Stratosphere Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hopefully the park takes good care of the coaster. I too am wondering what the onride audio is going to be. I do not think that will be an issue, they have kept Canyon Blaster running very well in its 20 years, and they have kept Chaos running and looking brand new for all of these years!

alilstronger Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The car looks awesome! I can't wait to visit Vegas and give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 ...and they have kept Chaos running and looking brand new for all of these years! That deserves a medal on its own - especially considering that it's one of the only Chaos rides still in operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomman295 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 ...And here I am, still drooling over that wheelbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsianSensation Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am going to Adventuredome for Christmas! Is El Loco going to be open by then? I hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ^I'd say likely not because they still have a bit of work and testing left, but I'm not sure if an opening has been fully announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsianSensation Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ^But the website says it is opening December 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ^It's targeted, but not guaranteed. You might be lucky and get a soft opening around then, but don't bank on it. If anyone else can confirm otherwise, please say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I believe it was mentioned earlier in the thread that the park was hoping to soft open it this month, but it most likely wouldn't open until January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 That car looks pretty awesome! I can't wait to see what the coaster POV will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ^^I heard that too, but I didn't know if the soft was pushed further or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double0Kevin Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I would just wait to see what the park says as an official opening. Edited December 8, 2013 by Double0Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Testing hasn't started at all on the ride, so it won't be opening for at least five to six weeks at the very earliest. I would bank on mid to late January at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 As long as it is open by May. Unless you are local it is foolish to plan for a soft opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 The cars really do look nice. Can't wait to see some testing starting up soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Hey everyone, very small quick update from the park. All the track in the main arena of the ride has now been aligned and in place. The crane has been moved over next to Chaos as they prepare to install the finale of the ride. Not too much more to go on the construction of El loco. In other news, Slingshot is down for maintenance and one of Canyon Blaster's trains are off track for annual refurb. Have a great weekend everyone! Queue markings are now in place. Track pieces waiting installation outside. One lonely footer awaiting support. The crane has been moved next to Chaos. Love how close to the park floor this ride goes to! Only one Canyon Blaster train on the rails. The other is out for annual rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusCoasterFan Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Is it just me or does the transition through the dive-loop looks very sudden and awkward...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 ^It does look funky, but I don't think it will be very uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 ^How are usually el locos in terms of comfort? I've never ridden one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
