netdvn Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 1. The ride itself doesn't really launch, but I've considered drive tires/special LIMs placed on the tower in order to move the train up the lift. 2. The board is fairly active and I post fairly often. I'd like to think that I'm spending a little too much time here. Overall thanks for the comment.
coastered Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 if the trains get stuck up at the top there is only one way down..Bungee jumping!!!!!...Thats the new element of the ride...It may take awhile for all the people to get off but its the only way.. I thought that new element was called "stage-diving". You will dive straight down from the top into the crowd waiting in line for HRRR, with any kind of bungeecord or protecting.
FitchCoaster Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Oh, man. That second picture of the non-inverting loop is incredibly sexy.
themeparkman25 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 That loop is enough reasons alone for me to study for finals so that I can get good grades and get a job that will allow me to work out there! I sure do love some curves on my pretty lady! Edit: What is the update on the scratches and scuffs on the track and supports?
themeparkman25 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I have been trying to follow this thread as best as I can and I know that there was a poll a little while back about your favorite harry potter dragons...what ever came of that? Do we officially know the name of DD or is it up in there air still as to which ones they will be? I would only imagine the the fireball one would be one. Sorry if I missed out on the answer.
King_K. Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I believe the coaster is now in the Lift and Retouch phase. Cause the station is almost done. So I'm pretty sure they'll tend to all the scratches and nicks in the next week. What I really want to see are the trains, cause I know they're X-Cars but I want to see the Color/Design and those ultra-bright LED's they've been talking about. Even though I'm pretty sure the LED's are gonna look the same as they do on Hollywood Dream over at USJ.
King_K. Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Fireball won by 72.25%. Which is quite surprising to me, since the Hungarian Horntail had such a massive lead. The current poll is "What type a wand would you prefer?" A replica of a Hero's wand, a Villain's wand, or one that "chooses" you.
themeparkman25 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Who had the fireball and who had the horntail? If I remember right, the horntail belonged to Harry? I do not remember who had the fireball though.
King_K. Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Viktor Krum the Professional Quidditch player from Durmstrang had the Chinese Fireball.
Shellemonster Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 It's also of note that the "wand that chooses you" is currently butt-banging all the other wands. It is waaaay ahead. Long live interactivity.
jjune4991 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I got a picture of the loop like that! i really wish i could upload photos, but my computer doesn't upload photos (i know, i know. but it's not my computer so i cant download any programs on it ) it is one beautiful shot!
Shellemonster Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Be sneaky on a school computer. That's the way to roll.
Lenaapple1974 Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 OH MY! I am away from the PC for a week, and I come back, Manta is soft opening on Monday, and HRRR has its track completed! What a glorious day! There is hope that it will be running for my trip after all! YAY!
Lenaapple1974 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 You know, I have been wondering the same thing for four days! I couldn't ask because that would be a double post, and I wasn't able to edit my stuff. It is weird how the topic just dropped off the face of the earth now that the track is complete! I hope there are more updates! Maybe car and testing updates are next!
rydrmr9 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I know right, well Im going to universal on saturday and i'll post updates when I get back..
triggernel Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Maybe everyone that has been there in the past four days saw the new trains, and had to have their minds erased and can't remember their own names, let alone their TPR password.
Lenaapple1974 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 ^LOL Looking back with all the talk about the heartline, and how people said that enough was enough, it's getting boring, etc., as annoying as it eventually got to be, it was something. I found myself more annoyed that no one has posted a thing in days. I still cannot get over that picture of the uninverted loop from the last page. That is just beautiful!
Shellemonster Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Yah, I'm sure it's just soft opened now and all the TPR members who ride it are too embarrassed to relate their story because they discovered the true meaning of the "backyard bone" element.
Camelback Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 johnny upside down has some update on his page, nothing really new out there, no trains yet.. http://www.johnnyupsidedown.com/new2009rr0.html
Kalepi_Konei Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Whatever happened to the "goes over citywalk" thing. I don't think I've seen photos of that, did they really do it?
