Ok now I know why they put music on the train so that way you don't hear how loud the lift hill is.

 

 

They are running the coaster in test mode in that video. Check out page 187 to see it at full speed. The lift does not sound quite as loud in that one.

 

I already saw the video on 187. It's still pretty loud.

[dewthedew]

Im heading out to universal tommorow, Hopefully I can get some good videos and maybe some shots of testing or the rings . UHHH somewhere in my mind im Praying they will do a soft opening, but I KNOW they wont. =(

[xxmat2]

before I select my songs, when do we pick the song for the ride and will each seat have it set up so you cant hear the other persons song? if anyone knows let me know i'm interested.

 

I'd say Country would have to be my first selection, grew up with it since I was a child. I'd go with livin in fast forward by Kenny as my first choice.

 

honorable mentions for future selections...

Stronger..

Devil Went Down to Georgia...

Cant Touch This

maybe Bad Girls in a no homo way hahaha

 

cant wait to go to orlando to check it out in da future...

Sabotage is cool, i would sing the whole thing in a high pitched pseudo-Beastie Boys voice and annoy everyone on the train... would be fun!

Ok I Don't know how true this is but the hight restriction is 51 inchs this is coming from screamscape.

The AAA destination guide to the park has the same thing listed.

For some reason, I'd really like to see this playing as a commercial:

 

[Guy T. Koepp]

No B52's!

 

Guy "I'm out." Koepp

[nowaymang]

No B52's!

 

Guy "I'm out." Koepp

 

Heh! Heh! Heh! (I agree)

[Guy T. Koepp]

Wait a minute! How can they open this ride without Love Rollercoaster by either George Clinton or Red Hot Chili Peppers?

 

Guy "That's like the rollercoaster song!" Koepp

[Vondroff]

Has much been going on with the coaster itself? I havent heard much in a while.

I went to USO yesterday and a crane was working at the top of the lift hill (again) for most of the morning and into the afternoon. They then did a bit of testing until the thunderstorms closed in.

I drove by Nassal today like I do most days, but this time I decided to pull into the alley and take a peek. Not a whole lot of progress since the last time I saw photos, except for some roofing. I will keep my eye out over the next few weeks and take pics if I see any noticeable progress.

They have been runnning quite a few radio ads for Universal these past few weeks that tells the listener about its new coaster. I wonder how many people get upset to find out that it is still not open once they get there.

[Guest]

They have alot of TV ads in the orlando area.

[monsterfan99]

The AAA travel agency had info all over the place about the ride when I went today. When my fiancee asked for map of the park, the lady asked if we were going to ride it. She was amazed it was not open as they have had stuff about the ride since March.

^Woah! Those lights are rave-tastic!

[dragsterfan420]

Nice video. Those lights are "rave-tastic"; they're crazy.

[ECZenith]

I love how the LED's are programmed to flash differently after they crest the lift hill. The whole experience with the open air cars, unique maneuvers and soungs you get to pick yourself will definately make this an amazing attraction.

[INDIOUK]

will be in orlando from the 9th august till the 23rd, anybody know the odds on the ride being open by then?

[Guest]

If it's not open by then, then we have some serious problems
