BMW FAN Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 No, if you look at the picture of the trains, you can see that they do not have OTSR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJackson Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Wow, OTSR's on a woodie?? I don't think we'll be seeing that too often, if at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hey E'rbody. I am an Idiot! I know this does not pertain to KK breakdown, but I posted my trip schedule here so I need to make ammends for my grevious actions. Those of you who Pm'ed me about meeting up at your parks. I accidentaly erased all your emails. Could you please re-PM me so I can get your cell numbers so we can coordinate a proper meeting place. I would love to blame my stupidity on lack of sleep, but, since I havn't been to sleep since 7am yesterday. The only excuse I have is due to non-existance of sleep. Oh, strip clubs and Spamalot days have been swiched. Spamalot is dark Monday night. I am in NY now and am crashing as we speak. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

QuakerOaties Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Spamalot on Broadway is AMAZING. I saw it two months ago and can say its the best broadway show I've ever seen. You'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Don't take this as 100% fact, but I was informed earlier today that El Toro completed a pull through. This is from a somewhat trusted friend, but take it with a grain of salt considering the trains were just supposed to make it to the track today, so either they moved pretty fast or the information is false. Either way, I would expect testing to start this week. EDIT: Misinformed. The cell phone cut out as I was saying "Now all they have to do is a pull through and things will be on the way." And he said "It's done." He was referring to the track. No, really. Anyway, apparently there is a sign that says something to the affect of "2 weeks until the bull is released", or something like that. Interesting.

Bubba Z Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 unfortunally the trains did not make it on the track. I think it had to due with the chance of rain this morning, who knows ? They did how ever put a New sign on Building Oh, can't forget about this sign either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks for the pics Bubba Z. I wonder if they will highlight the ET sign or leave it white. Anyway, it's coming along very quickly. On a side note, the bull on the front of the train looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Is there any evidence of the trains on the track yet? I can't wait to ride this thing, it looks great! And it looks like it'll open on schedule (or at least, the delay schedule ) --Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okinawaboy11 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 How so Six Flags is that sign. They used the same slogan when Raging Bull came out. "Don't fight it, Ride it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Well if the sign is correct I know where I'll be in 2 weeks. Then again, I was already planning on going there that weekend anyway, but YEY! I may actually get to ride El Toro before going overseas for a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatacus Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 According to GAinsider, some of the train cars are missing, or in other words, are inside the park, no longer out in the parking lot. Someone said that the ride will start testing tonight with one train, then two trains tomorrow. Though that seems a little to soon for me. But whatever. I have a trip planed for June 1st. I'm pretty sure it'll be open by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Have they done a pullthrough of the track already, thought that Intamin always did it before testing the track with a train. They usually take 2 cars and do that to check the clearance between the wheels and track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 GAinsider is now saying two trains are on the track. Hopefully the pull through won't take long, and they'll start testing tomorrow or Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HCOSurfer90 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I know for a fact they did a pull through on Balder. Here are the pics courtesy of RCDB: http://rcdb.com/ig1562.htm?picture=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 It's because it's plug and play like steel track, they have to make sure the track connections are secured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeJ Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 While any date around this time is possible, nothing has officially been released by Great Adventure just yet. Its hard to confirm a date for something that hasn't been tested or approved by the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
