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!

Kings Island is a fine example of what a corporate park can be. They do so many little things such as upkeeping iconic attractions like Beast, Racer, and Carrousel, while adding or restoring minor tou

^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.

^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.

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).

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.
