Ed Farmer Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 ^They almost always leave the cranes up overnight, they usually stop work around 5pm, but start around 7 am. You can tell by the amount of cars in the lot as well. It's fascinating to see how construction threads have gradually taken on a creeper-esque kind of vibe over the years.

glouthan Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Nice photos! There is going to be a lot of airtime on that hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 ^That's also what I thought when I realised how tight it is. Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 There is going to be a lot of airtime on that hill. That's one of the things that RMC surely does Wonder if it would be even crazier that Outlaw Run's double up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glouthan Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 ^I didn't realize how big that dive loop structure was...that's going to be cool hanging that high from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGAmFan1976 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 ^^Wow... I didn't realize that Goliath took up that much space.... That doesn't matter though Also that track is taller than I had expected right after the airtime hill. And what are they still working on by the overbank structure?

Cedar Fair Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I can imagine this will be a major breakthrough for SFGAm as they should recieve much more attention from the general public when it opens in late May... (Sigh) This could very well become the biggest park in the chain ( If its not already) because let's face it, MM and GAdv only have a large roller coaster collection and nothing else in the park, or 2 big coasters and nothing else worth mentioning in the park.

Grant45 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Wow, I can't wait to ride this! RMC is one of the best coaster manufacturers right now and likely we'll into the future. Can't wait to see what's next from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgam#1 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 This thing just looks fantastic, cant wait for the day I get to ride it. But may 24th is about 6 weeks away, and it looks like they have quite a lot to do. I mean first they have to get the lift hill up, finish the track, station, and a lot of testing. But I know this winter hasn't been easy for them, building such a large ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 This ride looks like it's going to move incredibly fast. I'm not to big into inversions, but I think both on this ride are going to give a great ride experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I remember Iron Rattler was opened pretty late as well. Don't worry! It's not like this is Vliegende Hollander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I remember Iron Rattler was opened pretty late as well. Don't worry! It's not like this is Vliegende Hollander.

magicweasel Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Is there a confirmed opening yet? The Six-flags website is lacking information..... What about pass holder preview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willthegolfer Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Opening is still set for 5/24, media day is 5/22, and passholder preview is 5/23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're forgetting Safari Off Road Adventure which has 3+ hour waits on a regular basis and seems to be the most popular ride at Great Adventure.
