I really love this picture. The 4 hills in the background look like they're stacked on top of each other.

I have question,will they be putting a lot of trees back behind the crypt like in the renderings and will there be alot of trees by the station,and will the pathway thats along the Backlot and oppisite of the station entrance be opened again this year.(the pathway that was closed this past season Where cornstalkers usually is)

Here is a photo of the teeth as well as a few others that I snapped today...

I know I'm excited. But I feel bad for iChase because they got there late because of a snow storm and they aren't allowed in the park because security doesn't know where the tour is..... Well Find Out!!!!

Thanks for your sympathy. :)

It kind of sucked, but we made a good day out of it. We went to Jungle Jim's and ended up meeting the KIC group there. What are the odds!?

That truly was nice to see you there. In case I neglected to introduce myself, I was wearing the Ohio State hooded sweatshirt. Too bad you missed the tour, though.

so far ive seen some awesome pictures from yesterday. good job to all the photographers!!

I think everyone on the tour from yesterday should get together and make a slide show so it would be easier to look at all the pictures.

that would be easy enough...e mail all the pictures to one person and have them put something together..that would be awesome...i could do it if anyone wanted

^^^ I was ganna ask the same thing. I really want some more pics of those trains!!!

Edit: Sorry Ignore that post. My mind doesnt work quite right in the morning

New blog update. Don talked about how testing should start in a matter of days. Also about how Allan H. has multiple bids.

I'll believe it when I see it. Don said at the Blues Party that the trains would be put on that week, and it took 2 weeks.

I agree with you but I'd really like to see a train do a run through.

But that might have been weather dependent, and the upcoming weather is looking good.

Anyone know how many test runs are required for a new coaster before it can be certified?

Yes.

Terpy, in your heart you knew he would.

Glad you know Terpy. Care to share with us that don't know?

I didn't necessarily say I knew. I said someone knew...that IS what you asked! :)

Seriously, it varies. The correct answer is: enough.

Seriously.

Don't expect too much on the first try, cool weather, new wheels means slow train. I would not be surprised if it did not clear the second hill, it should and I would expect it to, but it will be slow.

But then why would they test it if it's not even going to crest the second hill? Why wouldn't they just wait?

It seems to me they are confident in their design and construction to do a full test run and see what happens. I doubt they have any issues with the trains making it throught the course.
