kingsdominionlvr Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You know, it is sort of the same case. Intamin does not manufacture the camera, and they do not manufacture the launch cables for any of their coasters, so in either scenario they are not a fault. I get your sarcasm, but still, it is just a bit of a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkman25 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 That is a seriously tiny and boring looking station. Let it be known, it won't ruin the coaster for me though. Thanks for posting that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 ^You can't really tell all too much about the station yet, for all we know it could shoot fireworks and puppies off the roof of it! (although it is a Cedar Fair station...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 ^I say tiny due to the size of the people next to it, and thinking about MFs station. In retrospect, that is a tiny station too but it is divide which helps. I saw boring cause at this point it is just a rectangle box with a regular roof, nothing extreme. I am ready to revoke that statement, but unless McDonald's really does sponsor this ride I am not going to expect to much of a cool station.

Â Are we even sure that an 8 car intamin mega train will be able to even fit in a station that size? they're probably not finished putting all of the station framework up just yet though.

JEAPUgrad Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 ^not to be rude but what does "Manufacturing defects such as wrinkles in the mainframe of the vehicles, misaligned tracks, and faulty wheel assemblies" have to do with the length of the station being long enough to accommodate the length of the train? Â I don't see the the relation to one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Went to the park yesterday & noticed that they've started putting up track for the helix/turn following the first drop,as well as the pullout of the drop itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEAPUgrad Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 http://twitpic.com/jip0x  That's the pic that confirms that the bottoming out of the first drop into the first turn around has been completed. KD's Facebook page states taht this is actually 1/4 of the entire turn.  You do not need to have a Twitter Account to view the pic. I don't have an account and could see the pic just fine.

pkdcoaster Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Awesome! Thanks for the link. Â That transition is gonna be quick from drop to turn.

JEAPUgrad Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ^yea you'd never know it if you solely relied on the official I305 page for all your I305 information. Â I think it's great that we have many outlets for new information. The parkis usung Twitter/Facebook, we have Clint Novak and his updates, and random posts from trip reports. Â It'd be nice if they kept the Official I305 page current with new pics/blogs and get the webcam back online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
