larrygator Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I went over the park today to see what progress they've made on InvadR. The words of the day were dirt, concrete, and a wee bit of wood. The work of a moderator never ends.

coasterfreak101 Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I wonder if this ride will have a full concrete footing under it like some other GCI coasters recently. Or at least partially. The large concrete areas we see make me think so. I would assume that would be impractical due to the terrain. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it. Mike Rowe would be proud.
palmerleeberry Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 "It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it" - from the song "We Care A Lot" by Faith No More. But I do have faith in Busch Gardens Williamsburg to pull this construction off and add another coaster to their layout. And don't forget about Le Scoot, the newly-restored log flume - remember that they cared a lot to preserve this fine family ride. " This is going to be AWESOME!!!"
cfc Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 ^Le Scoot is in great shape now. They even added some new mechanical axes to the "sawmill" building.
Jman0477 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Just back from the park and noticed that now in Griffons Station they have a new flat screen with the countdown for each train along with the harness status to help speed up the loaders. There was a supervisor standing on the exit bridge writing down information. Not sure if this is a new thing but seemed to help out with dispatches off all 3 trains not that griffon really had a capacity issue or op issue
Vonni Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Has it been confirmed as to whether Invadr will have steel or wooden supports?
Jcoaster Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Has it been confirmed as to whether Invadr will have steel or wooden supports? Steel.
Vonni Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 ^ Aw seriously?! I know it doesn't affect the ride, but aesthetically, steel supports on wooden coasters are just so eh! EDIT: I don't know if I spelled "aesthetically" correct as there were no other suggestions for it in the spell check lol
defrocker Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 EDIT: I don't know if I spelled "aesthetically" correct as there were no other suggestions for it in the spell check lol When there are no recommendations, you either spelled it right, or you are so far off the computer says, "I can't even help you, man."

GCI Wooden Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 You can now vote for InvadR's logo I happen to be quite fond of the shields.
CedarFanboy Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 You can now vote for InvadR's logo I happen to be quite fond of the shields. Hmm... the bottom two shields seem a bit generic in my opinion, and although blue is my favorite color, I think red fits better. Red with Dragon Shield has my vote!
Jcoaster Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 You can now vote for InvadR's logo I happen to be quite fond of the shields. I went with the Blue Dragon. It would look really cool on a full sized sign.
RollerManic Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 I chose the red dragon one. Im a big fan of the dragon logos. I chose red over blue because of Griffon's proximity.
DILinator Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Blue Dragon for me. Though, I do get the red dragon vote, due to the proximity of Griffon.
scbt Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 I can't decide between the Blue Shield or Blue Dragon, They all look so good!
palmerleeberry Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I went with Red Shield logo for two reasons: I like the color red and it won't clash with the blue color of Le Scoot. Speaking about Le Scoot, I did love the axes they added inside the sawmill. It shows the love Busch Gardens have in preserving their log flume attraction.
