traincrossin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 So we're going to go off an aerial picture taken a few weeks back, and from a forum member that updates his new blog with pictures he's taking behind the fence???? Say what you will, but it was confirmed by the park. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinning man Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I don't see it. I thought there would at least be some footers for it to be based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G$ Kurt Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I spy with my little eye.... Antique cars still on left over sections of track!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 ^I remember seeing that in the aerial pictures of the construction site. The turn around the skycoaster is still there, with what looks like the entire fleet of cars parked on that section. I'm not sure how visible that part of the ride is to guests from the midway, but I'd bet the park gets a lot of questions about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 ^ It's pretty visible, American Eagles queue goes right next to them. Sorry for the blurriness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The X-Flight trains are my favorite of the Wing riders thus far. Sleek and not too much going on. I dig the colors too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftsifter Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I spy with my little eye.... Antique cars still on left over sections of track!! Where else are they going to put them... Boneyard can't handle that much crap back there. Why not just keep them in okay condition for a sale or move around the chain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airtime&Gravity Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 This ride is looking great, it doesn't look too intense, but it does look like a lot of fun. The first drop and the barrel roll are probably my favorite parts of the ride, and the theming, while less than other wing coasters, still looks like good for a regional park. Although, I have a feeling this will get lines like S:UF, so I don't think I'll be riding this much unless I have a flashpass.

galindoverhere Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 A pic of the keyhole fly-through has been posted! Looks Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Shot from outside of the park, but here's another testing video. It does look like some of the elements are taken a little faster than the original video released by the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galindoverhere Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 ^ Is that the B&M roar I hear, or wind in the distance? Anyways, that's an awesome video, and I have to agree with you that the elements do seem a bit faster than the Off ride video the park gave. Can't wait to ride it this June!
