WOW! That launch looks pleasantly more "forceful" than I was expecting from the POV. Also, LOVE the nice roar the coaster has!

[linearinduction]

They are using flywheels, as seen in the lastest Hard Hat Chronicles:

 

Thanks! I guess this leaves Intamin as the only Company that hasn't used the Flywheel Inverters on their LSM Launching Coasters. I wonder why they didn't use the stators for braking as well.

[ZeroGravity55]

^ If you're talking about the same type of magnetic braking (not sure if you are, since I'm no engineer), they did use it. It's just in that part. The rest is friction brakes and wheels.

 

[linearinduction]

^ Those are too thin to be the Beilim Stators, not to mention they are actuated.

After construction is complete I'm going to miss the Hard Hat Chronicles! Does any other park put this kind of time in for their fans?

 

 

Cedar Point is the only other park that gets really involved with their fans that I can think of.

I can't believe the irony... it seems like I've been waiting all winter for Thunderbird to Launch and my 2015 Subaru STi to get here from Japan. Without trying to be a super nerd, it's awesome that when I first drove my STi home, Thunderbird was launching in Indiana for the first time! Maybe this is a good sign.

And with that type of car, I'm sure you got home rather quickly

Not to mention how many tickets he got on the way home. I do not want to know what he pays for insurance each month! lol

Paula,

 

Will we ever find out what those blue-prints were that the girls teased on the Holiblog? I believe they were going to some event to show off what Will had originally envisioned...

 

Or did a few people play a joke on me and the only blue-prints were from Thunderbird?

 

Note: Those documents/blue-prints the girls had their hands on was strangely long and thin...

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

[Brassinthegrass]

Paula,

 

When will we get to see a full POV run?

 

It looks great, and I can not wait to come to the park for the first time this summer! You definitely got me to come there with this addition!

[Raven Maven]

^^ Lauren and Leah will be featured in a future video talking about their dad's/Will's original plans for a steel coaster to intertwine with Voyage.

 

^ There are 46 days between now and Opening Day. What's your hurry?!

[Agentofchaos]

Thank you Paula

Boredom, and the arrival ion of three feet still on the lawn here in NYC...

I don't get tickets... but I do occasionally write them.

They moved the camera back to the launch track and immelmann. Hopefully we'll see some more tests done soon!

[I305forever]

When will the full video be out?

[ZeroGravity55]

Right before they switched the views on the camera, I was a minute off from seeing the train go through the Inline Twist, twice! Both times I pulled up the webcam as the train was rolling into the station.

[kyleparks77]

I don't think they should post a full POV test video, in my opinion. The one we have is just enough of a tease to keep everyone excited until opening day. It'll be more exciting when we actually ride it if we "Leave something to the imagination" as my father would say (albeit in a completely different context).

[ZeroGravity55]

^ Oh they know what they're doing, HW's the best at this type of stuff. They're going to give it to us in little bits and pieces. We won't get the full thing until Media Day. It's actually quite smart, as this will ensure that there is always talk and speculation about T-Bird all the way up until it opens.

[mikejenkins1]

Anyone seen a launch or such on the webcam lately?

[HolidayWorldFTW]

Trayvon Owen has made it into the top 11 on American Idol!

[I305forever]

^ Uhhhhhhh... Ok(?)

[JeromyL]

^^^unless I'm wrong, he used to sing/work at Holiday World

[Raven Maven]

^ Trayvon was in our shows in 2011. We're sure proud of him!

[I305forever]

oh cool

Hold up, we got a badass over here....
