Loefet Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Oh look! What was that? (screenshot seen on coastersworld.fr) Is this a ghost, or... oh my. A train! Woohoo! Sweet!! Something like the image below I got just now, too bad that it's a few seconds early to get the proper money shot So close!!
GrapesLie Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Hmmm why do I feel so . . . Happy inside?! Wow this is exciting!
Randomman295 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Testing videos cannot possibly come soon enough. I need to see this thing in action before I drool myself to dehydration.
Loefet Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Testing videos cannot possibly come soon enough. I need to see this thing in action before I drool myself to dehydration. Are you sure that a testing video won't make it worse?? Someone posted on the official blog that he saw a roll-back on the top-hat earlier today, so they are really working hard on the testing protocol.
Bunnyworker Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I work in the park, and I saw it go without stopping!!!! ITS REALLY AMAZING! But do they use different wheels for the testing? Because there were a lot more sounds, compared to blue fire... My friend who's going to work on helix, recorded helix going through the helix..., but I don't think we are yet allowed to show it! But i have to say, it looks amazing when train swooshes through the track! Can't wait for the park to open!
chickenbowl Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 ^ The wheels need time to break in. Was it this same sound? This is Manta during test runs.
_koppen Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 But do they use different wheels for the testing? Very hard to speculate about, we won't know until the park release something about it. But in general testing is conducted with the wheels it is intended to run with, and then changed if necessary.
Ap0ptosis Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Lisa got put up another blog post giving us a chance to win places in the first train without having to pay for the newspaper.
Bunnyworker Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 ^ The wheels need time to break in. Was it this same sound? This is Manta during test runs. YES! exactly! Phew, thanks.. thought it was going to screech like that all summer...
_koppen Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Lisa got put up another blog post giving us a chance to win places in the first train without having to pay for the newspaper. I got really excited about it until i realized you had to write a motivation on why you should get them. That's just a think I'm really bad at.
Nrthwnd Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Now, if I won a lottery, I would enter this contest and fly over at my own expence....IF I won a lottery, and IF I won a spot.
BrunoH Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Liseberg will have its season opening day for the staff the 23:rd April! Guess that a lot of photos and videos will be posted that evening ...
Loefet Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 ^ Yeah, and then the press-day the day after. Which will definitely will produce a lot more images and videos on and off the ride, I know, I'll be there with my camera But on the competition part, then I might send one in, just for fun that is Seems like they are taking out the train again, so hopefully some more testing soon
Bunnyworker Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 WOULD YOU look at those ghost riding the train.. Testing with dummies <3
Loefet Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Why do the cameras only update every 10 minutes The wait between the images is killing me I mean, why couldn't the camera wait one or two seconds, to get the perfect money shot
Hhappy Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 ^ sometimes patience is nice.. And it's another reason to go there to see it (opposed to watching a webcam)
Zingao Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Just realized I have my upcoming exam on the opening day of Helix.
