Koasterking48 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Are we expecting Taki's to take over the entire iRat station on Day 1 in the style of NTAG?
SFFTfan Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 The cramped ramp was still there when I was there 2 weeks ago. It looks like they are making the que before it longer or they just put up a new pergola cover over the switchback that's already there
Wes Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Called the number. Very cool marketing indeed. RMC Facebook Amazing. Jeeeeeeeeez
BigBomer Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Are we expecting Taki's to take over the entire iRat station on Day 1 in the style of NTAG? Takis advertisement currently resides in the station of and on Boomerang, I hope it doesn't make its way to IRat.

Vonni Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Or flew and went to Magic Mountain and burned it down. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Love it!
jray21 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Those pictures are absolutely amazing! I've been very impressed by their photos of the ride. Really can't wait for it!
ArizonaGuy Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 ^^ I totally agree. This coaster is nothing short of amazing. *Side note* I drove by SFFT last night before coming back to Phx and iRat now has individual fluorescent lights going up the lift hill similar to Goliath and SKC. Hope it'll have some nice orange lights shining up on it when it opens. Unfortunately I didn't see any testing this weekend as the Valero Texas Open was going in this weekend. Rattler and Roadrunner Express usually were the two coasters closed in the past whenever there was a golf tournament taking place due to the close proximity to one or two of the greens.
SFFTfan Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 And those lights were on this morning too when I passed on the way to work. I hope there will be lights shining up too.
Meangreen16 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 In this video Jeff mentions that there will in fact be lights in the tunnel!! Super excited for that element! With the tight tunnel and going by these lights...It's going to be wicked cool!
SFFTfan Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I thought they would have lights in the tunnel. With how small LED lights are if they are using them, I wouldn't think there would be a problem with clearance
tanthonyam Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Why do they call the last big drop a Freefall? Then would'nt all coaster drops be considered freefalls?
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 ^If you saw the testing video, you'll see the train flies into that drop, no doubt creating some serious ejector air.
Geauga Dog Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I've been a little behind on updates for iRat and finally saw the testing video several pages back - this ride will be insane. I like how it pauses at the top of the lift to build up anticipation. The drop off the cliff looks as though it will provide a nice pop of airtime. I'm somewhat jealous that Texas has two kick-butt looking coasters.

With the tight tunnel and going by these lights...It's going to be wicked cool! I think the lights will be LEDs probably supplied by the folks who did the LEDs on NTAG. photo from Crossroads LED http://www.crossroadsled.com/index.htm
BeemerBoy Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Why do they call the last big drop a Freefall? Because they can. This thing looks seriously ridiculous.....in a very good way.
boardwalkbullet91507 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Man I can't wait to ride this. I'm fortunate to have Two Six Flags parks nearby to go to, BOTH with RMC goodness. Iron Ratter is looking great! I like the LED's on Texas Giant, but I'm still hoping for rattlesnake rattle sound effects in the tunnel like in the promo. But it's a promo. Can't believe everything in the promo. Time will tell but we are now just a month or so away from opening!

ArizonaGuy Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 From the SFFT Facebook page. What an amazing improvement.
narkitty Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I really hope that they put the flags back on the lift. It looks empty without them.
CpBluestreakCp Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 What a difference those two are, looks like two completely different coasters. ^And I agree, would be cool if they put the flags back up.
RideofSteel Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 That looks so different! I can't believe how much steeper the drop is now! I really hope I can eventually ride it.
Manic Monte Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Did I miss any possible opening date rumors /announcements? Edited April 11, 2013 by Manic Monte
SFFTbajam Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Hey everyone! I posted that from my own personal instagram! I'll be posting more pics soon!
