anonymouscactus Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Holy crap, that thing is --FLYING-- I think those are some of the g-force monitors flying off, lol!
steamedturtle Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Whoa!! Looks incredible. The back seat looks like the place to be for a super intense ride. First drop, and first airtime hill look insane. I also love how it kinda hangs upside down for a moment on the last inversion.
Canobie Coaster Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 That thing is flying! Imagine once it's broken in.
Mrlittle Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Just saw some other testing videos on Facebook. I won’t link since it’s someone’s personal page. In each video, it looked like the train was going faster than the next. I can’t wait to ride this soon.
thrillseeker4552 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Wow! This thing is hauling a$$. It seems like the back car will be the “magic seat” on these rides.
DoinItForTheFame Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Please no trims please no trims please no trims That's what I am thinking. It looks AMAZING at the current speed!!! . . . But I'm afraid it looks too amazing. . . And trimed it shall be.
CoasterAuditor Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 That looks absolutely nuts!!! They better not trim it!
CarolinaJay Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Hooooooly shit. Is it normal for it to be going THAT INSANELY FAST?!!! GAH. I LOVE IT!!
Arthur_Seaton Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Really looking forward to trying one of these as well. Twisted airtime hills can be awkward, flinging you around uncomfortably (I'm thinking of Skyrush here). But the fact that you'll be right in the middle of the track should this one much more appealing — especially given the speed it seems to be going.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Looks fantastic! I've been excited for this already, but seeing a train, I am now seriously impressed. Six Flags, if you want to start cloning this, please go right ahead.
Afterburn Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Really looking forward to trying one of these as well. Twisted airtime hills can be awkward, flinging you around uncomfortably (I'm thinking of Skyrush here). But the fact that you'll be right in the middle of the track should this one much more appealing — especially given the speed it seems to be going. The most discomfort from Skyrush comes from the lap bars imo. Sitting in the middle of the track like you said and with different lap bars should make a big difference (or at least I hope it does). But seriously, this looks so sick! I really hope Trailblazer will be finished when we go in May.
JordyC Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Wow, that thing is really flying!! And I love the roar! If it keeps this speed, WWGLC will be phenomenal!
coasterbill Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I'm curious to see if they just have a fast set of wheels on it right now but even if they do this thing's going to haul. Oh... and unlike with Superman and a few others I don't think anyone's going to have to watch the thermometer to see if it can run for HITP without risking a valley. They could probably run that thing in the winter in Antarctica and have it complete the circuit.
Invertalon Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I bet they utilize some slower wheel compounds by the time this thing opens. Companies tend to use the hardest wheels at first to reduce the risk of valley. Looks awkwardly quick at it's current pace! haha
B&MIntaminGCI Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 If they don't tame this at all, we're all in for some WILD rides.
Sportsdude360 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Here's a better look at the test run. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
bf9 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Wow. For a first-ish test that thing is MOVING. Kinda reminds me of a less intense version of that old Xcelerator test footage where they cranked up the hydraulic launch to test tolerances for Dragster. They'll put softer wheels on it but I think this and Railblazer may be the surprise of the year if it runs anything close to that. That airtime looks absolutely nasty!
Sportsdude360 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I suppose the next thing will be to test the ride with a living breathing person on board. If he is still living and breathing when the train returns to the station then the ride is ready to open to the public. If he dies...... trims will need to be added.
Nrthwnd Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Please no trims please no trims please no trims My thoughts exactly.
RollerManic Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I love how there's a single rider line on this when their shouldn't be any empty seats, else the entire row will be empty. I suppose groups will try to stick together by lining up vertically in rows back to back from each other and because of this we will see empty seats.
boldikus Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Looks awesomely insane but no way they aren't going to tame this thing with trims and wheel tweaks.
Nrthwnd Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I thought, that in a humorous turn of events, there could a "Group Rider Line" for this coaster, lol.
RollerManic Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I love how there's a single rider line on this when their shouldn't be any empty seats, else the entire row will be empty. I suppose groups will try to stick together by lining up vertically in rows back to back from each other and because of this we will see empty seats. Huh? This is the perfect ride for a single rider line. If there are 8 seats, there are many chances the groups next to ride won't add up to exactly 8, and there may not be a small enough group close to the grouper to fill the train. Singles go in! Except that groups won't be sitting in rows together - that was my point. There will be no groups of three taking a row of four and leaving a seat. The only way I can see there being empty seats is if groups divide amoungst the rows and try to get on the same train, so that they are back to back with each other.
Nrthwnd Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 How about this queue sign... Group Rider Line (No more than 8, please)
