robbalvey Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) The park just posted a couple pictures of the Freedom Flyer trains on the track! They look really nice and... LAP BARS! Here are the pictures: Ha! I was standing next to them when they took those! Here's a few I snapped today... If you haven't responded already, please help us fill seats on all these rides at our film shoot May 13th & 20th - Details HERE: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1307034#p1307034 Paratrooper has been moved to the new spot. Just needs landscaping! Scrambler is in the process of being moved! (Literally just picking it up and moving it!) lol Freedom Flyer trains. The "backside" of Freedom Flyer trains! Doing some reach envelope testing. Hard to tell from this pic, but the first drop looks fully tracked! More tracking done on White Lightning. The himalaya and Wheelie were both nearing completion. Apparently the Wheelie was testing earlier this week! Another look over at Freedom Flyer. Another look at the new location of the Scrambler and Paratrooper. NINETY DEGREES!!!! More track work being done... A closer look... Edited May 2, 2013 by robbalvey
LoneRider92 Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks Robb, the expansion looks to have come together very nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing the park in action. Let's see, my last final is at 8 pm on May 19th. If I leave right after that with no sleep or bathroom breaks... You know what? I think I can wait a bit. I would love to go to a TPR event though eventually.
Coolex Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 YES. When theres only lap bars and you sit in front row, its close to a "flying"-feeling. (and a nice "gonna-fall-off-kick").
gisco Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 It is amazing how quickly things are coming together. Looking forward to seeing the pictures from the photo shoots.
palmerleeberry Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Did that last photo showed the coaster cars for WHITE LIGHTING??? I'm thankful they had it covered; methinks I would have wet my pants if they didn't. As for the Paratrooper and Scrambler being moved into their new locations - Did the park actually moved them in one piece? Without dismantling them like other parks would have done? Would this be featured on the History channel called "Mega Movers"? ( Not!) Those new areas do need some landscaping down because I don't think any rider and amusement park flyer would want to enter a ride with mud on the ground. This is getting better and better. "I'm not perfect; I just love to ride!!!
Maximo37 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Look what arrived today! 6 Smart cars? lol You don't think... ...hmmm... ...any chance that is one of Gwazi's missing Millenium Flyers?! And those are too big to be Smart Cars... Maybe a Honda Fit!
robbalvey Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 ...any chance that is one of Gwazi's missing Millenium Flyers?! No.
djcoastermark Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I don't post very often, but, I just submitted for the shoot. Wish me luck. Can't wait for the opening !
Skycoastin Steve Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Look what arrived today! 6 Smart cars? lol You don't think... ...hmmm... ...any chance that is one of Gwazi's missing Millenium Flyers?! And those are too big to be Smart Cars... Maybe a Honda Fit! No, those went to Darien Lake.
Skycoastin Steve Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 ^ I wonder why they would go to Darien Lake??? Cause that Darien Lake guy says it could be going there.
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 According to RCDB, a kiddie coaster from Playland's Castaway Cove will be relocated to Fun Spot America. Seems there will be a kiddie coaster after all. http://rcdb.com/11481.htm
SharkTums Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 ^Thanks but this had been talked about and announced several pages ago probably back in February or March.
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 ^ Oh OK. I went back a few pages to check if it's been posted before and so it has. I guess I'm just a little behind!
TyRush Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Cant wait to see how this turns out too Any idea on how long the train is?
