Ahh cool deal. Are they the ones who made the trains for NTAG???

[DJeXeL]

That's affirmative.

[boardwalkbullet91507]

The trains on NTAG are amazing. I can't wait to ride the ones on Iron Rattler. They are incredibly smooth and comfortable.

So far it looks like it's going to end exactly the way the computer renderings show: a hill with maybe a slight pop coming out of the tunnel with a descending ramp into the brakes. It's going to be a short ride, I'm sure they don't have the Giant's extravagant budget, so every foot of track needs to count. Should be crazy fun though.

[ArizonaGuy]

^^

Still disagree. We'll just have to see.

[boardwalkbullet91507]

Yeah, Im still holding onto that glimmer of hope that there will be something. Theres that one picture that shows the original structure coming out from the tunnel that looks just enough to the right to keep me hoping there will be something.

[Wes]

Seems more like wishful thinking...probably better use of time to look for Jesus' face in a poptart or something.

[jray21]

I'm just glad they're redoing it! Anything is better than what it used to be.

[RoCo]

I had not been following along on the progress with this thing so much; just went through the last ten or so pages.

 

Dayum.

Just put out two more offride videos recently, so I guess that I'll share them here:

^ I like how that last picture has the final twist of the roll. Won't be long until they are done that section!

Went to the opening of Holiday in the Park yesterday (11/23/12). The park was moderate to crowded but still ended up riding 8 rides with riding twice on Scream and The Hustler. Only got to see Iron Rattler on Road Runner and it was dark so I couldn't see much. But I did see that the helix next to the station of Rattler is removed completely except for the footers and there is track from the station that goes towards Road Runner!

 

Here are my pictures of my day! warning; Iphone Photos!!

[SuperKryptonGuy28]

Just an FYI... I drive past the park on my way to work this morning and they have taken out part of the support structure for the drop. The part that had been extend out when they raised the drop is gone! From the looks of the angle it made it real how steep that drop will be. I'm excited!

[BigBomer]

^^ Was Superman open when you were there? It hasn't been during Holiday in the Park but I thought it might be this year because of Skyscreamer.

[SFFTfan]

I drive by the park almost everyday on 1604 but only get a chance to go to La Cantera to see the construction in the middle of the week. Here is a pic of the 1st drop support structure missing.

[ArizonaGuy]

Very nice! Thanks for the update.

[coastercrazy216]

I wonder if they are planning to do any extra bracing to the structure since it swayed so much.

[SFOGdude25]

^They probably will. They did so with NTAG, but not really a lot. The Iron Horse track is super strong which probably helps with structure sway on its own.

[Jakizle]

I wonder if they are planning to do any extra bracing to the structure since it swayed so much.

 

The place where it swayed is being changed completely anyways, that's where the 0g roll is going to be!
