pkifreakhogg Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Big crane is working on the lift hill again.
Go Browns Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Why is anyone doubting the statistics of this ride? It's not a weather report where the temperature is forecast to reach 80 degrees and be sunny, which everyone knows can be pretty far off. This is steel and concrete surveyed and constructed to with in millimeters (smaller?) of the blue prints. Or are you simply questioning that the marketing of this ride is using inflated numbers to make it seem more impressive?
Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 ^I was thinking that very thing. We've already been told the dimensions. There's a video and a model, and plans. Maybe these are from people who still want to experience the excitement of 'reading the book without jumping to the ending'. Just a thought.
tigellinus Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 ^^Obviously none of you guys tracked the Behemoth progression from last year!! Stats, heights, angle degrees were changing more than the Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks!!...or Brett Favre's retirement decision, or the Reds line-up this year! I think you get what I'm saying. Oh, and because nothing changed with Maverick either!
Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 LOL! Or OSU rankings! I didn't track Behemoth's progress. Did it get larger or smaller than previously announced? Was it by subtle or huge amounts (i.e., will the lift hill go from 230' to 270, etc.?)
RailRider Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Well the press release said 230' and its 230', the length stayed the same, the only thing I know of is that the original press release stated the drop would be 85 degrees where it ended up being 75 degrees. I still think that is a typo from day one because that is almost a dive coaster. Maverick changed because the heartline rolls made the coaster too intense and violent. Thats something that was installed, tried first hand and then the park and the builder realized it wasn't going to work out.
Beast1979 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Big crane is working on the lift hill again. No it's not, they don't work on Fridays.

No I did not follow the Behemoth progress. Point well taken. Somebody get me a protractor!

No I did not follow the Behemoth progress. Point well taken. Somebody get me a protractor! Stats on a ride don't just cange over night. Once the track has been fabricated, it would be very complicated and expensive to make a change. Thats not saying that they might have told you wrong multiple times, but the official coaster stats that the ride was manufactured to probably didn't change once manufacturing began. They've told us that the angle of the drop is going to be 74 degrees. Unless they are lying to us, which I highly doubt, thats what its going to be.
tigellinus Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 ^^I'm not accusing any lying, however, is it not true that moving a footing a few feet off from where it theoretically should be would change the angle of the track attached to it??
Beast1979 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 The only post-announcement change I've heard of that is note worthy is Maverick's heartline roll being removed. And you can forget about the Drop Angle being changed, judging by the track already put up and the fact that most of the time angles stay the same, I bet it's hitting 74*.
Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 The only changes I can imagine would be theming surprises (tunnels, head-choppers, lighting fx)...
Beast1979 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 The only changes I can imagine would be theming surprises (tunnels, head-choppers, lighting fx)... Why would they add any tunnels they didn't include in the press release or concept art?
Thrill_Biscuit Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I was referring to the posts about the Behemoth changes... Tb, still waiting for fishtail turns and bumpy steps...
Beast1979 Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Pictures from about an hour ago: ^The White Dot at the bottom is me!^
DropZone99 Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Awesome pics Beast1979! I can not believe how huge this thing is already! I bet people were getting in line for Crypt or Beast thinking it's DB. Or they were saying stuff like "lets go on that one!" and people replied saying "no! people died on it last week, don't you remember seeing it on the news!?"
Beast1979 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 ^^What happened? You spammed with lolhahahlolomglolha and whatnot.
FOFreak Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Oh, that's spam? My bad, I thought it was funny.
The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I missed the whatnot part...was that post in any way content-rich? Terpy, who figures Diamondback will make him content, and perhaps Cedar Fair rich...one can hope!
FOFreak Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Getting back on topic: When are they going to be getting up the first lift hill? They've been saying "in the next couple days" for 2 weeks now!
The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 The first lift hill? As opposed to other lift hills? Terpy, who thinks The Beast has confused you...
Beast1979 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Getting back on topic: When are they going to be getting up the first lift hill? They've been saying "in the next couple days" for 2 weeks now! Whenever it is most convinient. When I went yesterday I saw a bunch of lift hill supports and a piece of Lift Track laying there.
The Interpreter Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Between the lines is a Fast Pass... Oh, wait...that's another chain. So far.
Beast1979 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 ^^Correct FOFreak, who just stole a play out of Terpys playbook Ohh No, You mearly copy-catted one of his earlier manuvers. Terpy's playbook is complicated, in-depth, and as long as a dictionary. I've been studying him for a year or so and still havn't skimmed his surface.
FOFreak Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Sometimes I if Terpy is even human! He is a walking encyclipedea!
