robbalvey Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think you're all just jealous this guy noticed the dent faster than those of you that feel it necessary to post an update about every bolt tightened on the ride..nice to know Gerslager or however you spell their name use only the finest of materials for their multi million dollar rides seeing as how someone pointed out they painted over this dent in the manufacturing process. If I were on the receiving end of those parts I'll tell them to stuff it...you all are pathetic and sound like a bunch of 10 year olds. Get a life coaster nerds, you all act so elite about your vast knowledge of how.many inversions and feet of track there are on the ride yet none of you have built a coaster either so SHUT UP already... As soon as I can stop laughing for the few seconds it takes me to ban an account... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Saw this posted on reddit a little earlier today: https://twitter.com/canardiain/status/939954442216067072 A few of the supports have dents in them. I don't know if they buckled, or they were dented during transports\, or if it was something else entirely. But it is an interesting development. Awww, what a shame the Tweet was taken down. I hope someone took a screen shot of the original tweet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Coaster structures usually have a super high factor of safety anyway. Even if the dents aren’t photoshopped, they will be fine as long as they didn’t create cracks on the structure or significantly affect the thickness of the column. Knott’s will have to do some NDT testing and pay more attention to those dents during maintenance but that’s about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (I was going to post the video but then thought against it, you can look it up at your own discretion). If I had a dime for every time I posted something, thought "eh.... I don't know, that one might be a bit much" and then Robb or Elissa came along and gave it the seal of approval as I was questioning whether or not I should edit it I would be a rich man.

Here's some guidelines: "Someone using a dildo to remove a dent" - On the "adult" side, yes...but not graphic and it's funny.... "Someone using a dildo to remove a dent while said dildo is firmly shoved into someone's rectum" - That would probably be crossing the line. Now you know where the boundaries are!

TM3988 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Has anyone stopped by the park over the weekend and grabbed some construction photos? This coaster seems to be going up fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken to asking before hand if not sure (oh yeah, I asked before posting some pics from our "Bear Cruise" back in Feb). and Rawkin.. . that made me laugh, and laugh, and laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Has anyone stopped by the park over the weekend and grabbed some construction photos? This coaster seems to be going up fast! I plan on being at the park on Sunday the 17th and staying all through Merry Farm. I'll definitely upload HangTime photos unless somebody beats me to it.

I'm going to have to go get me one of those. I have a few dents I have to get out. Did anybody catch what model that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The immelmann/stall loop is now complete, however the track on top of it has not been placed yet. They are also adding track to the exit of the cobra roll, right before the brake run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 ^ When you take in all that is sticking up behind the mine ride and the log flume, the lift hill fits in there, pretty good! Thanks for the photos. (And people coming into the park, and seeing that coaster train climb the hill, and then hesitate before.... it's pure coaster magnet gold, lol.)

joelwee Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Under that overhang is the last remnant of Boomerang - the air compressor. Obviously, the park decided to reuse it for Hangtime. Thanks for the pics! My bro was at the park today and send me a pic of the lift hill. I can't wait for next spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thank you for those photos! I was hoping we'd get some nice photos at some point that aren't from the webcam. I'm lovin' the colors more and more every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
