AndCamSS Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My guess would be for a sign. Guess we will see soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah, quite honestly, I think some of you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Lots of hangars are temporary in nature, so this structure is fine by me. Nah, I'm just critiquing a design choice. I'll still ride the thing and love it nonetheless!

XYZ Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^ That is the most odd place a ride operator booth has been placed, right above the track! I'm sure it'll be interesting working up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy06 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^I'm pretty sure the only B&M Wing Coaster without the main panel being located there is Wild Eagle. It's a pretty good idea to have it located there so that operator can see what all is going on on the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinning man Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It appears they have been testing already, or they will start soon, with the water dummies in the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^ That is the most odd place a ride operator booth has been placed, right above the track! I'm sure it'll be interesting working up there. Lots of coasters have their main control elevated above the track. Kingda Ka, X2, and SheiKra all have consoles like this.

chickenbowl Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^Not to mention Swarm and (I believe) Raptor at Gardaland also. This coaster is looking better than I expected. I need to get out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Based on my Wild Eagle experience last weekend, I think it'll be a lot of fun--especially with the proposed "keyhole" element. It is going to be tough to top Wild Eagle in terms of location, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjaco Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Lots of coasters have their main control elevated above the track. Kingda Ka, X2, and SheiKra all have consoles like this. But it's odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) I'm watching the Webcam closely and I feel like they are about to test it any minute.. Also more pics on twitter Edited April 12, 2012 by vacoaster09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm watching the Webcame closely and I feel like they are about to test it any minute.. Looks like they're going to start with small movements (i.e., moving the train from the station back to the brake run) first before they do a full circuit test. The park also mentioned on Twitter that the trains will have the covers shown in the concept art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Lots of coasters have their main control elevated above the track. Kingda Ka, X2, and SheiKra all have consoles like this. But it's odd! And disturbing! Yet it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Starr Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Awesome picture! It also looks like the queue will be going through the keyhole, should make for some great pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukefarmer2010 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The trains look pretty rubbish compared to #THESWARM and Wild Eagle... i hope they are going to improve them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbydinn Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) ^^ The park also mentioned on Twitter that the trains will have the covers shown in the concept art. Literally one page back.

Jerrykoala2112 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That picture looks so surreal. I hope they get train covers, but the ride looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousReed Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 You would think they would put the covers on before testing. The ride still looks amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
