    Any discussion that results in me looking at pictures of Nitro is one I am in favor of! And in saying that, I am on sound footing! Terpy, whose sign off line could be called a footer

My favorite pics so far are the ones from Markhudson there are some very nice shots and one of the hammerhead. Once again Nice markhudson

Edit: And by that I meen favorite pics by anyone who hasn't had the advantage to actualy be inside the park.

What I like is that these B&M Trains actually look like trains, with individual cars and of nice length. The other Beemers look like short nubs going along the track.

To be honest I really don't like the look of the B&M floorless trains http://www.rcdb.com/ig2169.htm?picture=22 something just doesn't look right. I do have a question though. How do they load people on to a floorless train?

The floors are built into the station building, and retract before the train can leave. This is Griffon's station and how it works, which is similar to all floorless':

THey have a auto floor that rises upp and down like this...

Thanks guys. Thats what I thought they did

Man I love that JOJO Roll on Hydra. I've never had the pleasure of riding it but the idea is just so cool.

On topic for DB I can't wait to see a video of that splashdown and I really can't wait to hear what it sounds like when it hits the water

^LOL the floors on Dominator scared me to death when I was at geauga Lake in '07......as for the D-Back trains, are ours floorless too?

EDIT: Blake, what up with the quad-post? You can edit any post you made by pushing the Edit Post Icon on the bottom of the Post ^_^

There is a tornado warning in southern indiana and they are still testing. Also, an optical illusion.

The train is in the spalshdown, but there is no spalsh? I thought it looked pretty cool.

(I know that in the picture, the scoops just entered the water)

^maybe they're about to shut off the ride, It would be a shame if the trains slid off the track in a thunderstorm before they even opened it! Hope they have roller-coaster insurance! :lol:

I know lots of pictures have been posted I think this one is a really good shot though :)

They are putting the trains back in the shed (the cam is actually working for me today)

Look, 06:06:06....weird

I know lots of pictures have been posted I think this one is a really good shot though :)

readimageasphhhhhhhhhhh.jpg

thats the best webcam shot ive seen so far! good job! :)

It has finally started raining up at Kings Island, and on the webcam I can see the middle and left train are in the storage shed, but I can't tell if the third train is in the shed.

Edit: Just got another shot of the webcam and it appears the third train is in the shed.

An hour after testing ended and it started raining, the sun is once again shining up at the Island. It is strange how quickly the weather conditions can change.

I was out to eat with my Family and I saw A train stuck on the MCBR.

yeah i think they stop them at the MCBR or on the lift when they are putting trains in the shed or taking them out.

The splashdown shot is incredible i cannot wait to see this thing up close and personal. Have they started on building the entrance queue area and everything like that yet?

Yep. It looks like the concrete has been poured for the queue area directly off the midway. Aside from that, who knows?

It was amazing the number of runs they made with 3 trains yesterday. I would say they are easily ahead of schedule.

Of course I wonder when they will be full training the staff. From the fast turnaround on the cars, I would say they were

not doing a seat up/down each time the cars came to the station. Can not wait for opening day.
