coasterfreak101 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 ^The banked ledgers aren't installed, it won't be unbanked the way it looks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 ^ I'm not understanding that. Why are the boards laid the way they are then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Because that the base of the bent itself. Then youll have the angle ledger. I fully believe based on the height of the metal l beams that the banking will be far more than it used to be. Should carry more speed though since that area was very lateral heavy.

Raven Maven Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We won't know till testing resumes in the spring. We'll keep you posted ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOGdude25 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) ^^^That's the plan. It hasn't been officially decided yet since testing hasn't started, but given the fact that the timberliners have run successfully at two parks last year, it's very likely that the timberliners will be installed for this season.

Skycoastin Steve Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We won't know till testing resumes in the spring. We'll keep you posted ... Just wondering, will the Timberliners be the first things you test with the new layout, or will you run the PTCs first and then try the Timberliners out? Thanks.

coasterfreak101 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 ^^These Timberliners aren't like the rest though - they're unique to the ride because of the stresses and strains a ride of this size and caliber puts on them. So just because the regular ones ran well last year doesn't mean that these ones are immediately ready. But I hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOGdude25 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yeah, I'm curious to see what all they'll do. The current timberliner design already looks pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traincrossin Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 After riding the Timberliners on Wooden Warrior over the summer, I really hope that they get them running on Voyage this season or else it's just going to tear itself again. Glad to see Holiday World working so hard on that re-tracking though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't The Gravity Group originally say that the Timberliners were designed with The Voyage in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 ^Yes, and then they tested and found that the stresses that the Voyage puts on its trains were greater than what the original designs could really handle. They just stated in the Voyage off-season update video that they've designed a special version of the Timberliners to run on the Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster1227 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Holiday World has sent us a press release regarding the relocation of the "Deutsch Evangelish St. Paul’s Kirche" to Santa Claus Park. A moving company will very slowly transport the 1880 "Deutsch Evangelish St. Paul’s Kirche" for a distance of just under one-half of a mile to its new home in Santa Claus Park. It will join the newly-restored 1935 Santa Statue plus the Santa Claus Museum, founded by Holiday World matriarch Pat Koch, at the site of the original Santa Claus Park. The church stands 70 feet tall (including steeple and weather vane). It will be moved with steeple and original church bell intact, along with the following contents: altar, cast-iron woodstove, Reed pump organ, native poplar wood benches and pews. The church, which weighs approximately 50 tons, will roll on three sets of dollies pulled by a tractor truck. (Another historic building will join the church and statue at Santa Claus Park in another week. The original Santa Claus Post Office, built in 1856, will be moved in the same fashion from Holiday World, where it has served as a doll museum since the theme park opened in 1946.) Additional background information is posted here on Holiday World's blog. They have also confirmed their involvement in a new revival effort for the former Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom led by several members of the Koch family. For more information on that park's developments, visit our Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Discussion Thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
