ilrider Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 True, ILRider, but how do you know they really have family up ahead until you let them past you? I probably would have let the situation pass if the dad had tapped me on the shoulder and politely said, "She's with us -- just a few groups ahead..." had he not pushed me from behind. No way to tell 100%, but often they are women by themselves who look very uncomfortable/embarrassed to be cutting past everyone. Maybe they are still lying, but in that case, I just figure, it's just one person. Believe me, the girl in my case was not shy/uncomfortable/embarrassed in the slighted...she was almost aggressive - which makes even more sense seeing her dad's behavior... That's just obnoxious! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Terror Twister's programmer/creator uploaded a really great video of a new Terror Twister program for this year. I like that Terror Twister is a unique incentive to go to Fright Fest, but seeing this makes me wish it was year round, as it's just so much fun.

Jerrykoala2112 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Looks like they are putting in the coils for the footers right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Have track & supports started arriving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Have track & supports started arriving? Track and supports began arriving a few weeks ago. Mid-October, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Have track & supports started arriving? You bet! It was sitting in the field next to the employee parking lot on closing day (October 30th) so I'm not sure if they moved it to a new location in the park.

Schotcher Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 That is smexy B&M track. Are any footers up yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbydinn Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 That is smexy B&M track. Are any footers up yet? Looks like they're gearing up for footers soon, but I don't see any already in the ground. It's amazing how close the construction is to Demon, the turnarounds and corkscrews will have some great views of the ride. Still can't imagine X Flight sitting there, it just looks too small for it!

Mr. Starr Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The site looks bigger in person, but it will still be a tight fit. It will be nice to finally have a nice new B&M in the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 This new coaster looks like it's going to be great! I really hope i can make it out there this season to see it in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Looks like they're gearing up for footers soon, but I don't see any already in the ground. It's amazing how close the construction is to Demon, the turnarounds and corkscrews will have some great views of the ride. And if you actually watch the on-ride video, the first drop is right next to a turn on Demon. Definitely a great near-collision moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did they remove the skull rock from the Demon???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Wait a second, I thought X-Flight was being installed on the other side of the park where Iron Wolf was not near Demon? Is that site just going to be used for something in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did they remove the skull rock from the Demon???? Skull face should still be there, I think the webcam cuts it out right before the first corkscrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo19799 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did they remove the skull rock from the Demon???? From the picture that Jon posted, it looks like the skull rock is still there, but I can barely make it out myself (just look all the way to the left, there is this mass that resembles a rock). I remember seeing it there the last weekend of operation, but that was a couple of weeks ago so who knows what happened since then. Wait a second, I thought X-Flight was being installed on the other side of the park where Iron Wolf was not near Demon? Is that site just going to be used for something in the future? The site where IW was will be used for something else in the future. I read it on their Facebook page and I would love to quote it but I can't access FB while at work. Dumb kids ruin everything for the adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbydinn Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Here's a different screen cap I took that doesn't have the glare over the skull rock. A little easier to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 A lot more track has arrived according to their Facebook page! Drive tires! Work on the ride site. Rebar for supports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Those large tires are not really associated with drive tires. They are for the transfer zone. They are the wheels for where the train rests in the shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Great pics they have! I wonder how fast this will go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Great pics they have! I wonder how fast this will go up. I'd guess that this will follow the "Holy crap that was built fast!" tradition that the other three Wing-riders have set. But then again, this is Six Flags so you never know... Great pictures by the way, loving the sexy B&M track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
