lbeeler Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) hmmm looking at the pic what if they still used the duel station for loading and a transfer track during slow days like TT? I know I know why am I bringing up the transfer track again lol Edited December 7, 2015 by lbeeler
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Looks like there will be some nice laterals before the lift hill like with New Texas Giant! OR...like every other coaster with an unbanked turn after the station. Seriously, this isn't a new thing. No. But it's still a fun feature worth pointing out.
Midgetman82 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I'm just happy they took out the wood blocking the view of the bottom of the ride when looking from the street or sidewalk. These photos don't show it, but I saw someone else's recent photos of it. Now you can easily see the bottom of the track!
jynx242 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 It is awesome to see this much track work done already. I have to say that this looks pretty great and a big improvement over the original. D

I know I know why am I bringing up the transfer track again lol I was just thinking that the other side of the station would make a nice covered place to keep an unused train on a slow day or if it was down for some reason a great place to work on it.

mudvayneimn Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 ^ If it were a B&M, it'd be over engineered into no force.....A graceful flight from point A to B though..... /sarcasm because I know it would escape someone's radar.

I would not be complaining if it were a B&M, but that's because I am one of the few roller coaster enthusiast who doesn't hate almost everything B&M does.
jray21 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Track work looks like it's coming along great!
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Track work looks like it's coming along great! True story. At this rate track work should be done in no time! Can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished. And most importantly. . . I can't wait to see a POV! (Even though that's obviously still a ways off.)
jedimaster1227 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Considering the state the park was in just a few years ago, I continue to be thrilled with Ed Hart and his team's direction for Kentucky Kingdom. This is one park revival that really looks like it will last and succeed long term!

I guess we will have to wait and see lol.
TXThrillster Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 That ride looks AWESOME, no time to breathe, element after element. Whoa!

lbeeler Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 storm chaser has lights !!!!!!!! jk lol but I guess there's been some close calls with aircrafts because SC now has a red warning beacon.
Midgetman82 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 ^Eh, that sorta counts. I shot a little bit of video on my last run-by on the 29th, and finally got enough time to sit and edit it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnv9igoXcj4
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 As if I haven't said this before, but Kentucky Kingdom is quickly becoming a "Must Visit" park for many coaster enthusiast. Can't wait to visit this park for the first time next season!
prozach626 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Nice video. Thanks for sharing. On a side note: Thanks for not overlaying it with an obnoxious or flamboyant song, which seems to be the new standard for making any car enthusiast or roller coaster video.

lbeeler Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Here we go!!!!!! From KK FB what you think?

It looks like it's made out of wax and was left in the sun too long.
