Sharman19 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just 3 more pieces! SO EXCITED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That airtime-hill/s-curve looks awesome! This definitely has potential to be the best of all the wing coasters.Now B&M just needs to incorporate that kind of trackwork into their hyper coasters. True. These twisted airtime hills are always fun and I would like to see B&M hypers having a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm hoping the S-curve is as snappy as the animation makes it look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 ^That ride has a lot of mixed reviews. Some love it and others hate it due to the roughness. I really like it but I do understand why someone wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicman Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 ^The people who complain about roughness are probably wimps because it is Intamin and I do not know any Intamin coaster that are rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 ^Oh trust me. The ride really is rough. It is by far the roughest intamin I've ridden but it's also full of awesomeness so I still like it although, as I said, I don't blame those who can't take that level of roughness.

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Is there anything new? This board hasn't been active in a few days.  Construction took a break for Thanksgiving and so did the thread  The last piece of track should go up today, weather permitting, of course. So keep an eye on the construction cam. Keep an eye on HW's Twitter as well. I'm sure there will be some updates there.  If I was in charge of HW's Twitter, I would probably tweet at all the SF parks telling them this is how you get a project done on time, with nearly five months to spare.

Â Yes, because karma would never come back and bite us! Â Just because the track is all up (or will be soon) doesn't mean we're done - still a lot of work as we prepare B&M's first launched coaster for testing. That will be the topic of the next Hard Hat Chronicles. Â But thanks for the good thoughts - our team has been incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 And with less accidental fires, too. You have to admit it was a colossally bold attempt to make it on the new mini hotness tour. Plus, it isn't easy to install multiple installations of what can be the coasters with the most inversions in the world! Holiday World does have a great record with opening new rides by opening day. The only one I can remember that didn't open on time was Gobbler Getaway, which I'm sure was barely noticeable with the Voyage next door. Â Anyway, a new photo on Twitter this morning had the caption, "Will the final piece of Thunderbird track go up today?" I just can't get enough pictures of this coaster. The trees around it just make it ten times cooler, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 From the webcam, it seems like Thundebird is complete! But as it rains, it's all blurry and I can't tell for sure. I tried to switch positions quickly, to shake the raindrops off but it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It's awesome they were able to get this completed before the really harsh winter weather arrives. Should leave them plenty of time for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewis97 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 More track has been installed, but you can see that there's still 2 more sections to be erected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ^ Judging on how they've pieced this thing together so far, I would guess that there is either two individual pieces left and they're going to bolt those together and bring them up to the site as one sort of big piece, or there is just one piece left. The crane is sitting right behind the last support, so they might get it done today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ^ Track piece #75 went up today; #76 and #77 will be put in place first thing Tuesday morning. Â The flywheels arrive Wednesday.

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ^ Will one of the trains be arriving this month? I remember you saying something about getting the roof on the maintenance building so it could house one of the trains soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicman Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yep, they are done! The testing should take a few months like Kingda Ka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hey...hey Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ^^Looks like a gap between the inline twist and the brake run if you look close...I think what people are seeing is the carousel on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
