jamesdillaman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'll be there for walkback. I will have to look for you. Looking at a rental car at the moment even though it is only 3 hours away, my car needs work and the ride over would suck. Plus I am trying to score a 2008 Malibu for a rental. Alright, 26 freaking degrees on Saturday! I was going to say, it'll be easy because I'll have my TPR shirt on....but I will be wearing more than a tshirt, hahaha. Umm... OH! I'll be wearing my epic Penguins of Madagascar blue and gold hat haha. You don't have the awesome TPR hoodie, yet? Aren't they on sale? You should jump on that. I love mine!

DonkeyBreath Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Train is now out side looking sexy with water dummys, testing must be comming real soon Sexy and ready to strike:O)~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 ^I wouldn't count on a test just yet. They still haven't done the pull-through test. I think they'll get all three trains into the storage shed first, then work on the pull-through, then test the ride with a full train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-kid Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 ^ Im sure B&M's don't do pull-through's. This is looking awesome, I cant wait to see it move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 ^Out of curiosity, why would it be that B&M's would not conduct pull-throughs? I find it strange that one specific company is exempt from what I believed to be a standard step in coaster construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Maybe my dream of ride on Saturday isn't as far away as dream as possible (pay everyone a dollar to become an employee and you shouldn't have to have a inspection {refering to Johny Upside downs Cypress Gardens Starliner where they were paid a dollar and rode without an inspection).

Zero One Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I wonder how transferring trains will work? Are there drive tires on that turn so they can back trains up from the station and into the transfer area (like most B&Ms do), or will they have to send the train around the full circuit?

pyrocoasterkid Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Second train is on. Just for all of you since the webcam is cycling slow or not working right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Nice! ^^ I think they will send the train all the way to the trasfer piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b&mforever Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I am pretty sure on Nitro they send a train around and then another, stop the first one on the transfer track, then stop the second one on the block brake, next send the third train out and stop it on the lift, and then lastly do the transfer for when they are going from three trains to two.

4rturo Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 OMG!! Those are some sexy trains!! I really can't wait to ride it. Just hope the line is not too long when I go there in May. Anyone knows if B&M hyper's lines move fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 ^ Did you look at the picture? If there are 3 trains, the line will move fast, less than that, get used to waiting. It all depends on the operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 What? No pictures of the splashdown scoops? That sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvercrew1 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 This beast should really be a people eater. I know someone that will be on the crew this season and if all of the crew members are as good as him then the line should not be too much of a problem besides the first opening months. But still they shouldn't be too bad then either. What? No pictures of the splashdown scoops? That sucks... Here is where I think the scoops wil be attached on that orange frame on the back car.

silvercrew1 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I live very close and I hope to film testing when it starts. The only problem is knowing when it is testing and getting there to see it. But I started picking out my spot today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hopefully they will have one of the trains out to showcase during the walkback on friday....should be pretty good, expect some nice shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jds03 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Does anyone have a shot of the hood on the front car? I remember in the promotional videos it had some sort of decorative snake face so I'm eager to see what it looks like, or if there’s anything there at all. After all I'm sure Cedar Fair had never let anyone down based on their promotional ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
