DropZone99 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 It's gonna look sweet when the lift hill goes up. I think the drop will look much nicer. I hope on the other hand they theme the splash down area like in the video. Im not trying to sound anti-CF but in Maverick's teaser videos, the lake under the horseshoe roll looked alot like the splashdown in DB's teaser video. And in real life, the lake under Maverick's horseshoe roll isn't like in the video. So i wouldn't get too excited for the splashdown looking how it did in the video, but hopefully it'll have an area where viewers can get soaked by the "rooster tail!"

Beast1979 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yes, Behemoth opened on time. Cedar Fair rides typically do...Maverick was an exception. And that was because it pulled to many G's on the Heartline Roll, forcing it to be removed and replaced. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writing carefully: The park said the coaster opened late in order to resolve issues of rider comfort. Terpy, carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRider Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 2 observations about the new pictures. First the lift looks awesome and very steep. Im still sticking with 45 degrees. Second, the drop out of MCB looks like is going down in the ravine, because the track on hill 7 dissappears in to the ravine. That is great seeing how they are using the terrain.

Beast1979 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 3 things: 1. Lift looks AWESOME! I hope they continue lift construction 2. darn, they switched the catwalks! 3. What is the thing on the left side of the lift for? There's one just like it on Behemoth.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Those are the best pictures I've seen from Don. Great job!! I think so too! Don did an excellent job on the pictures! 2 observations about the new pictures. First the lift looks awesome and very steep. Im still sticking with 45 degrees. Second, the drop out of MCB looks like is going down in the ravine, because the track on hill 7 dissappears in to the ravine. That is great seeing how they are using the terrain. Yeah, it does look pretty steep.. Maybe the steepest B&M hyper lift (excluding dive machines.) And that drop out of the MCB's looks amazing! It just dissapears into the ravine! 3 things: 1. Lift looks AWESOME! I hope they continue lift construction 2. darn, they switched the catwalks! 3. What is the thing on the left side of the lift for? There's one just like it on Behemoth.... They are nets, and yeah i remember seeing in the video that the catwalk was on the right; not the nets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firehawkboy Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 They did the whole lift hill section yesterday. It was off camera view so we couldn't see it being erected. But we saw the white crane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
