boardwalkbullet91507 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 You can definitely tell the ride has been cycled. There are wheel marks on the track! Oh goodie! I see them! Thank God they are painting the floor. I figured they would do something about it one day or another but the gray looked so bad. It looks much nicer!
jray21 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Thanks for all of your amazing updates John! I can't wait to see video of the cars cycling!
rctneil Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 It's nice seeing a park making the effort to add all the smaller details like painting the floor and the rides footers. It's something most won't notice but you don't notice it because it's right and to me that is a good thing. It seems that the Adventuredome really take pride in the rides and attractions they have in there.
Jew Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 ^Well, besides the Steakhouse---they're the only other reason to visit Circus Circus.
KBrylczyk Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 ^Well, besides the Steakhouse---they're the only other reason to visit Circus Circus. I really need to give that steakhouse a try. Everyone has told me how it's a hidden gem and absolutely incredible. I'm not sure if I should believe the hype and go or if I'm just a pawn in a huge practical joke and setting myself up for severe disappointment.

AusCoasterFan Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I like how creative Adventuredome is in naming its rides, i.e. after the ride model/model line. Circus Carousel: Chance Morgan Carousel Inverter: Chance Morgan Inverter Chaos: Chance Morgan Chaos Frog Hopper: S&S Frog Hopper Disk'O: Zamperla Disk'O El Loco: S&S El Loco Perhaps they should have named Canyon Blaster, Custom Looping Coaster or gone all RCT3, Corkscrew Coaster 01
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 ^I'm pretty sure they taught Chinese parks about naming rides.
rctneil Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 ^I'm pretty sure they taught Chinese parks about naming rides. It reminds me of Chimelong's ride names: Half Pipe Coaster 10 Inversion Coaster Dive Coaster Motobike Launch Coaster Young Star Coaster
singemfrc Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Testing is definitely underway! The Dome put a :15 teaser pov on their facebook showing the train go up the lift hill (FAST!) but fades out as the train crests the hill. Can't wait to see more!!

Nrthwnd Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 ^^ Thanks for the link, for those of us who don't do Facebook. Looks great, just before that first drop. I know some of the original layout, but the custom part is going to be cool to see.
jray21 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 ^Well, besides the Steakhouse---they're the only other reason to visit Circus Circus. Haha, that's so true!
Voxelmatic Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Just found this video of El Loco testing. It's not the best quality, but it shows a decent amount of the ride.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnQ0oHB3U_U Edited January 23, 2014 by robbalvey
gerstlaueringvar Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 That's very cool! But a lot slower than I expected. Wish they were using testing wheels with thicker Polyurethane layer.
rcjp Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I actually didn't find it slower than other el locos but it certainly looks good.
bert425 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 man. .the screams are going to reverberate NICELY thruout the dome. particularly from that upside-down dive!
robbalvey Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Just found this video of El Loco testing. It's not the best quality, but it shows a decent amount of the ride.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnQ0oHB3U_U Cool! Hopefully it won't be too long now before we have an opening date!
A.J. Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 That one support on the inside-banked curve... Gets the job done, I suppose.
coastercoaster5 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Adventuredome commented on their most recent post saying the results for the contest will be revealed friday.
Double0Kevin Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 That's very cool! But a lot slower than I expected. Wish they were using testing wheels with thicker Polyurethane layer. That would make it slower. Nylon wheels make rides faster, but not as smooth. I don't think S&S even offers those.
alilstronger Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I can not wait to see when this opens! I am supposed to go Vegas this year and this makes me even more excited.
Mr Stratosphere Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 HAHA go figure the ride would test during operating hours when I am out of town!
