Skycoastin Steve Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Here. Can't get enough of the cell phone quality reports from this park!
mudvayneimn Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 You are killin' it (as they say) tonight! Second post by you that has pretty much made the day. In regards to GL, I don't know about that yellow loop, but farewell old friend. I really hope they fixed that horrible pothole/track gap in the carousel through the dive loop though, it was jarring to go through the whole ride smooth as butter and hit that right before the track tightens into that final corkscrew.
KDcoasterMAN Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Gotta love that B&M roar! If I have a group of friends heading to the park this year I may make my first trip to the park.
B.A.B Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 I love the sound of that B&M,but that llama just had something about it that just caught my eye.
alpengeistfan1 Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 I actually found 2 others videos on youtube of the coaster testing. They're better quality than the first one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORh6jSosqZ0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgpkZVGJdfE&feature=related *Not filmed by me.
wheresrenaldo Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Warning to all that plan on attending GADV: Thursday, the 12th will have all student councils (over 4,000 students) from NJ. Just a pleasant advisory for you to expect crowds.
SharkTums Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Wasn't I supposed to have my Polly O Cheese picture by now!?!?
SaweetDude04 Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I'm anxious to see how capacity is on GL. I'm sure it will depend on a number of things (reliability, etc), but I think the two main points will be how fast the crew is and whether they will be running it like Cedar Point (everyone must be standing) or SFMM (standing or basically sitting). Either way, it looks like a great ride and I can't wait to ride it this summer!
DiveMachine Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) The capacity on GL will be AMZING. During the construction tour, they said they will have 3 trains and 6 attendants during 2011. After that, I think they will just have normal 2-3 train operations with 2-3 attendants Edited May 8, 2011 by DiveMachine
SharkTums Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 ^They better run all three trains since they stole one from SFMM!
larrygator Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 ^With the attitude and stupidity of SFGAdv patrons I am not confident that operations will big AMAZING on a stand-up coaster.
_Brandon_ Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I believe that they will run all 3. Bizarro has run all 3 every time I went, and that ride is EMPTY! Also, I read somewhere that there are going to be 6 people working in the station.
medusa99 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I really doubt the ride will have six people checking the train. No ride at gadv has ever had over 4 people checking a train. They may of been counting the greeter and the operator.
YoshiFan Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 There are banners all over the fort, and banners and ads in the station. There were 2 sets of old photographs with captions about traveling to the West in the queue. One set of them was removed for the banner. I know it's not the greatest picture of the train, I tried to take a picture quickly before someone said something about having a camera out in the station (that I have seen happen to others even though I always keep the phone in a zippered pocket while on the rides).
Skycoastin Steve Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 ^With the attitude and stupidity of SFGAdv patrons I am not confident that operations will big AMAZING on a stand-up coaster. Honestly, I think the visual scan might kill capacity more than anything.
signaltwo Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I was surprised at how loud the ride is even going through the turn into the first drop! The ride looks great and it looks to not even be slowing down at the MCBR (yet). Can't wait to see it open.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Honestly, I think the visual scan might kill capacity more than anything. QFT
alpengeist04 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 The capacity on GL will be AMZING. During the construction tour, they said they will have 3 trains and 6 attendants during 2011. After that, I think they will just have normal 2-3 train operations with 2-3 attendants ...Which probably means for opening day only. Technically that's during the 2011 season, even if it's only one day.
SharkTums Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks for the pictures...I'm slightly disappointed by the wrap, but I guess that's some new Polly-O product that we don't have out here yet.
acq10uaz Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 ^Yeah it's called Polly-O Twisters or something like that. All the Pandemonium's in the chain are sponsored by Polly-O and have wraps and signs like on the fort at GAdv.
SharkTums Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 ^See, that's pretty cool! At least the wrap makes sense on Pandemonium!
