KoasterDan Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I feel like rather than bashing them over the blurriness, we should all appreciate that the picture was taken. We can see the whole layout, that's the important thing in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougMJr Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I swear with modern smartphones you have to try to take a picture that blurry. Stand still, snap, and tweet... it's pretty simple. That being said, glad that we can finally see the whole layout. Can't wait to get on this thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Come on guys, let's move on. We should all just be really impressed that someone at ACE figured out how to Tweet period!!! Although judging from the tweets I'm seeing from Absolutely Reliable, they really haven't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFFTfan Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Here is a phone picture from today. First drop looks awesome! Although it's ending up a shorter coaster, this is gonna be one kick A$$ ride. I can't wait to see more pics of the first drop being finished. Hopefully we will see more later on this week. All I know is that I don't want to be in the back of that train when I first ride. Lol I like the look of iRat and RRE in this picture as well. Probably one of the better angles we've seen of RoadRunner Express as well as iRat. Hopefully we'll see a completed first drop by weeks end. I wouldn't want to ride in the back on the first ride either and I'll gladly wait the extra time for the front. But I hope we have a choice since last season the park came out with the "No preferred seating" on some rides last season including the Rattler after it was announced it was closing. I cannot wait for opening day of iRat. It's gonna be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark549 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The first drop looks a little like the shape of Skyrush's drop (although with an added twist). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zentanker Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 OMFG!! I am so excited for the new rattler. That first drop is looking truly epic. I must say though I am a bit surprised at some of you guys saying you don't want to be in the back of the train... I'm hoping to be EXACTLY there when I get on this thing. The first time I rode the new Texas Giant I rode in the front car... it was quite fun, very enjoyable. The next time (and every time since) I've been in the very BACK car. The difference is quite breathtaking! I'm expecting this to be even more so... Just looking at this thing makes me smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
