mikeykaise Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^ 140 feet. Â even though its smaller than the first hill of voyage in the animations it looked much bigger than the hill so it'll be interesting to see if it looks taller than Voyage's drop.

ZeroGravity55 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^ 140 feet. Â even though its smaller than the first hill of voyage in the animations it looked much bigger than the hill so it'll be interesting to see if it looks taller than Voyage's drop. Â With the elevation differences, I'm going to guess the Immelmann on Thunderbird is sitting a good 20 feet the above the bottom from the valley of the first drop of The Voyage. Of course, that's measuring from the ground up. So with The Voyage being 172 feet tall at it's peek, Thunderbird should be about 10 feet lower and will easily tower over the rest of the park with The Voyage.

Raven Maven Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^ Or simply subscribe to our HoliBlog: http://www.HolidayWorld.com/HoliBlog ... for regular updates. Because we go, you know, behind the scenes. Â Â And for all of you asking about the webcam (except for the guy who called me corporate - when I was home sick as a dog, no less - and is now banned from the park and added to Santa's Bad Boy List), we were still in discussion earlier this week so I didn't know and therefore couldn't say, but right now our IT Team is moving the SplashCam over to the entrance to the Snowy White Gravel Road for a nice wide shot of Thunderbird and future interactive fun.

ZeroGravity55 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Paula, I saw your tweet earlier about the "Dash cam" and I might know a few people over here in Southern Illinois who can make that happen. By a few people, I mean rednecks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (except for the guy who called me corporate - when I was home sick as a dog, no less - and is now banned from the park and added to Santa's Bad Boy List) I think you better get on the TPR label makers!

EricGarbo Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thank you very much for getting the second webcam pushed through. There really is no greater way to build anticipation for a new attraction than using live feeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That Immelmann is already towering over the entire park! Awesome! Â This is the best web cam set up for any ride construction project I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Paula said on the Holiblog that they hope to top off the Immelmann next week!

ZeroGravity55 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 ^ Read it for yourself. Posted yesterday: http://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/2014/10/01/orange-glad-take-lots-photos/ Topping a roller coaster is a really big deal. So what will we do when we get there (sometime next week, we think)? Have a celebration of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
