glouthan Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That looks nice! Hopefully the trains will fly through that like Kumba's zero - G. I really hope this is open by May 24th... How likely is that in reality? I'm going on the 27th and will likely not be able to go back in the next few years. The construction crew seems to be moving pretty quickly though. The park has already confirmed that this will not open Memorial Day weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will open on May 31st to the public at the earliest. May 24th was their original target date but they moved it to May 31st the other week because of poor weather over the winter.

rcjp Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Actually that track is interesting. Does outlaw run also have this plate that goes over the main steel part? I haven't noticed any (but maybe that's because this one is orange). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed any (but maybe that's because this one is orange). Yes, Outlaw Run has this "plate." This is the standard road steel that goes on any wooden coaster. See pic below, it is brown on Outlaw Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yeah, it's much more difficult to tell on Outlaw Run, they probably did it that way on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ^Probably, to look more "natural". I thought that because the steel under it is rather thick, it wouldn't be necessary but apparently it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ^^^ Is that plate welded on? I don't see any bolts... If you could see the bolts, that would mean the wheels would hit them like on NTAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goooose Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 NTAG does rattle on those bolts! It makes the ride feel more wild! So excited. Today in the webcam, its only 10:00 am so a lot more will get done, but from what I can tell, they are attaching the pieces of steel that will hold the steepest part of the first drop track to the tower. Once they are done with that they'll be able to connect the first drop track to the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ^Probably, to look more "natural". I thought that because the steel under it is rather thick, it wouldn't be necessary but apparently it is. Just think how much easier those thin steel plates will be to replace than that whole thick steel rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glouthan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ^ It totally does! The whole lift will probably be about twice (maybe a bit less) as tall as it is now...this thing will change the skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
