willh51 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Storm Chaser definitely deserves all the attention, but is there any news on a second train for T3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdogg68 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 They have a second Train, that was purchased close to the end of last season that will be in use this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdogg68 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Sorry for the double post. Just saw on Irvines Facebook page, someone posted a video of a test run. This thing FLYS through the course, can't wait to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 It's okay to post the link. And mother of god. I can just hear it riiiiiipp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I pray that is not just a great photoshop or sped up video. Cause that thing is haulin' a$$! My reasoning behind that is the weird audio clip that sounds like a woman is saying, "s'that down." twice. It gives me a sense of alteration to the video or audio as it's too similar in both spots. If it's not chopped vid, then this ride is gonna give the mother of ejector air on every camelback! Please! please! please! let this be real.

RyanTPM Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 If that really isn't sped up then wow, incredible pacing, really is going to be another winner from RMC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 This video is the same source video, sped up 1.5x (source: author's comment). Due to that, it can show more track in the alloted time. This is for a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Looks awesome!! That first camelback will have insane airtime!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 This begs the question, How come their launch worked perfectly, and LR's somehow didn't pass muster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVA62 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Wow, really excited to ride this! Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nwstone Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I hope we get to see a reverse pov with Ed hart or somebody else riding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfkk Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 ^Ed hart has stated before that, while he owns an amusement park, he does not enjoy riding roller coasters. I'm pretty sure he did not ride Lightning Run and I doubt he will ride this. How ironic right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbeeler Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Man I guessed two weeks on testing should've said two days lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Ed Hart rode Lightning Run, I believe as part of a media day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 It's okay to post the link. And mother of god. I can just hear it riiiiiipp. I had to read this post two or three times to make sure I was watching the 100% speed link. The second hill looks absolutely ridiculous.

KBrylczyk Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 This begs the question, How come their launch worked perfectly, and LR's somehow didn't pass muster? Probably because there is no launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Well this one went under the radar for me! lol Hmm... Kentucky Kingdom/Holiday World trip to ride what could possibly be one of the most intense RMC's? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Never expected so much going on in such a short amount of time. Suddenly track finished, suddenly electrical work, suddenly trains, and then suddenly test runs?! We're still over a month from the park opening! Well done, KK, well done! Also, holy typhoon, batman, that thing seriously hauls-a$$! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 What did you guys think was going on when there was that 3 week stretch when there was no track going up? They got ahead on everything else done so they could start testing once the last piece of track went up and the trains were put on the track. I say one of the reasons this thing looks so fast already is that this is the first I-Box coaster where they stripped the paint on the running rails where the wheels run. There is no break-in period where they're waiting for the wheels to tear the paint off the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOGdude25 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Holy crap this thing despite its smaller size manages to have the rapid pace of Medusa and Outlaw Run! All of a sudden my excitement for Storm Chaser just went through the roof. Can't wait to check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbioryl Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm liking that the superstructure is all steel. No wood. With the I-box track it has a whole different look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 So it was sped up. You can hear their voices at the end and they sound like chipmunks. How much was it sped up is the question. Still looks awesome. Still pissed their launch works better. Did they use a different company than Dollywood hired for theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looks awesome. Still pissed their launch works better. Did they use a different company than Dollywood hired for theirs? At the :57 mark you can see a guy in a white shirt waking by the crane in the middle of the ride. He looks to be moving at a normal pace. Not sped up. Also Storm doesn't have a launch. You see that big hill in the background? Lift hill. And Dollywood didn't hire the launcher company, RMC, did Edited March 27, 2016 by gbioryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear their voices at the end and they sound like chipmunks. How much was it sped up is the question. Still looks awesome. That's probably correct. I listened to it closer, and even brought it into an editor (I won't re upload it since I don't have permission). After slowing it to 80%, everything seemed correct. The pacing looked more realistic, the guys sounded like actual guys, and even the cheering in the station sounded more human. It didn't haul as much a$$ as I had thought, but the coaster still looks pretty sweet! Of course, I could be way off and be digging into this too much, and the pitch of the audio on the video was the only thing affected.
