OMG X2's tunnels!

No wait, Maverick's heartline roll

Wait even better, THE R!NGS!!!!!!!

I think this calls for a celebration

 

Edit: \ / you're right screw the r!ings, it's all about the banner now!!!!

[RctInfinity]

Now, let's get excited for the banner! The banner never gets any love.

[dewthedew]

The rings have been completed!

I really hope the banner goes up fast so that this nonsense stops!

 

The rings were just as anti-climatic as I had expected! (They do look nice though...)

^The same kids will find another joke to over-use and ruin.

just joined but i've been following this thread for a long time, hilarious!

Those R!ngs look good. Have i done that right? Cannot wait to see the banner

[cooksta77]

Whoo! The rings are up! Now I can't wait to see the banner go up.

[atem122]

I have a feeling banner(s) will become the next: rings lockers XD

 

Although the graphic probably will look very cool which makes me even more excited for this awesome, one of a kind ride! Ah well, it shouldn't be long till the banner puns start rolling in!

[King_K.]

Hallelujah the R!ngs are on! Finally!

[Justin]

The concept art shows more than 5. I just don't get it.

It feels like the end of an era, albeit a very annoying one...

[Vondroff]

What part of the ride that has not been put up should we obsess about now? I vote the banners!

[Homeboy23]

^ Very smart obersvation since that is the only thing left...

[monkeyoverlord71]

I want the bannananananer!

[INDIOUK]

anybody know how many cars will be on the track at anyone time, and how many are on it now?

if its more than two are they at universal?

how much are dvd's?

[ryno1986]

There's five trains, each holding 12 people. Supposedly, when the ride opens there will only be two trains, so the wait times will be gigantic.

[alpengeist04]

^That's why I'm waiting for the AP preview. ...At least I hope they have one.

[jedimaster1227]

^Universal has had passholder previews for every new attraction (as far as I can remember) at least since the Suess Sky Trolley was installed. Waking up at the crack of dawn (it was still dark in the park) had never been more worth it than on that day!

[alpengeist04]

^Yea, I know. That's why I added a wink at the end of my post. I'm just hoping it's not during the week I'll be in Idaho and Northern CA.

What the hell? According to rcdb, this coaster is supposed to do about 1800 punters per hour...did I miss something, did Six Flags secretly buy Universal?

[Hercules]

^ That is with rcdb figuring in 7 trains.

AP previews are always a lot of fun. The best one IMO they have done was Revenge of the Mummy. It was spread out over three nights after park hours and they kept Shrek and Jimmy Neutron open as well.Which was a bonus cause from 03-early 05 getting on Shrek 4-D was damn near impossible unless you got there when the park was first opening. It was three hours of bliss for AP's. I can't wait for a AP sneak peek.

 

OH and how good is this "intel" they only have two trains. I could of sworn yesterday I saw at least two in the bays, and one chillin in the station. But I could of been wrong.

[atem122]

^I think he meant 2 trains on the course, which sounds really odd figuring as that ride has 50 block sections

[tomm.]

Whey!
