Mr Stratosphere Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 ^ All of the Blueberry Hill restaurants have changed ownership and no longer carry that name. Back on the park, all of the cars (all 7 of them) are now inside the dome. Adventuredome will be closed Monday - Thursday next week and re-opening Friday, hopefully they can get a majority of the testing done during this time frame.

Robocoaster Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Unless you're talking about a different chain, there is still a 24/7 BH location on Decatur near Charleston. I prefer OPH, but BH is still good for breakfast. Portions were plentiful, alright. Have eaten a variety of meals there; outside of bkfst, the rest of the offerings taste very meh. As for El Loco, it looks fun! I've already warned my boss that if opening day falls on a day I'm scheduled, I will seek to switch with someone, or call in sick.

Tremindouz Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I really hope the testing gets done in the next few days. I'll be in Vegas next weekend and would love to be able to get a ride. Keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There's so much hang time in the last inversion, I didn't even realize it. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 That's a lot of hang time! I wonder how comfortable is S&S's new lap bar because Screaming Squirrel was awfully painful(I'll still ride it tomorrow ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Great video. The coaster looks like it will be a hit for the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I still can't get over how screwed up that transition into the first dive loop is...but it looks to ride perfectly fine! Thanks for the videos and updates! That's what I thought too. I mean, the whole concept of el loco is screwed up which makes them so unique (even thought there are a few). Looking really nice!

bert425 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I told my partner we have to go back to Circus Circus next time we are in Vegas (and not for the Steakhouse) and he said, and I quote, "Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" so I showed him the clip Robb posted of El Loco testing? and he said, "oh. YEAH!" (yep, made me think of Kool-Aid too. . LOL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 That's a lot of hang time! I wonder how comfortable is S&S's new lap bar because Screaming Squirrel was awfully painful(I'll still ride it tomorrow ) The Lap Bars on Green Lantern are some of the most comfortable restraints I have ever used. The seats are also nice and squishy. I got stuck on the brake run on a nice overcast day for about 30 minutes... and I could have quite happily just fallen asleep in the chair... or had a cocktail in my hand and made myself at home. I would even go as far as saying they are more comfortable than the old school Intamin T-Bar restraints that rides like Superman at Magic Mountain used to use...

SingleRiderCam Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 That's a lot of hang time! I wonder how comfortable is S&S's new lap bar because Screaming Squirrel was awfully painful(I'll still ride it tomorrow ) It doesn't look all bad compared to Screaming Squirrel because El Loco doesn't have extra restraints for your shoulders and the lap bar goes from overhead to your lap instead of from the upper side of the seat to your lap so everyone will expect a better ride from S&S than Screaming Squirrel and Sequoia Adventure.

Mr Stratosphere Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hey everyone! Here is the IAAPA Show Car finally riding the rails of El loco! This is also the same car that was on display at the front of the park for the past few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 ^Awesome! I really can't wait for the opening of El Loco! I really like the cars too!

Here is the IAAPA Show Car finally riding the rails of El loco!This is also the same car that was on display at the front of the park for the past few weeks. I'm just curious, but how can you tell it's the IAAPA car? I'm sure you would know. Like I said, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Stratosphere Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 All I can say is that it is amazing in what can be accomplished in one year. 2/3/2013 was the last operating day of Rim Runner. Totally pumped for this new coaster to open! El Loco Comprehensive Construction Photo Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCoasterGirl Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yeah, I'm definitely excited about it as well. If only an actual date could be given then I'd be all set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawlessBagel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I came really close to going to Vegas this weekend for my 30th birthday....I'm really glad I didn't. It would have really sucked to see this thing not open. I saw enough rides that I really wanted to ride closed last year (Iron Rattler, New Texas Giant, X2, Ghostrider).
