KIFAN! Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wow I am so excited to see that that train in person fly through the final helix and dive right into the water and make a huge splash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have a feeling those geese won't hang around with the trains splashing past. If they start showing up with goggles on, then we'll know they're staying. Or would that be gaggles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Theater Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have a feeling those geese won't hang around with the trains splashing past. I really hope that they dont stand on the track, and not be smart and move. Lol, ive seen it happen in my neighborhood,a goose stood in the middle of the street and just stood their and got hit by a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterFreak45 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I yelled at the top of my lungs when I saw those pictures. It's amazing! I cannot wait until April 18th, grr... I need a time machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo8820 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The thing that I am most excited about is how fast this ride is going to gobble up a queue line. I mean, with no seat belts and the seats at a comfortable height for employees to check restraints load time is going to be lightning fast. Plus with three trains I think the line might move as fast as Magnum. Does anyone know how many riders per hour magnum is capable of?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm seeing more geese in my back yard this year. I wonder why? That splashdown looks sweet. It must sound awesome, too. I am stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSoB Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 All right... lets see this baby run to its fullest. Also, from all the pictures that we receive we can truly see how fast they are working on the area. Things are really starting to take shape. Once the trees get their leaves for the year and the grass starts to grow the area will really be a site to behold! I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iChase Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Wow, what a surprise. I'm gone for two days and the splashdown has been filled. This is awesome! I can't wait to see the splashdown area all landscaped on a nice late spring day. Now that will look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiocoasterman Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Just thinking alittle bit about the splashdown. I am wondering how loud that will be in the back of the train also being in that area. I wonder if it will vibrate the train at all as well. Sooooo many questions I need to ride it One other thing though and I think it will suck but I know Maverick has the water bombs and the water goes up and then comes back down and hits the track. Now it does it over and over and by the end of the season the track looks dirty because of the water and everything going onto it. I am sure this might happen because it looks like it will hit the track when it goes down back into the pool. It will look dirty a bit but it should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
