The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 There isn't even a link there for it to work. My guess is it was not posted properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goofywdw Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 ^I did not intend on beating anyone's video. I just live very close and wanted to get some footage. No one can beat in park footage where no one else can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhimes90 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hmm sorry I have never posted a video before. Here is a link to youtube. You could hear the roar on that video! Sounds and looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 ^Yeah that is one reason I opted to leave the sound in and not replace it with music. It truly is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can beat in park footage where no one else can get. Hey, I enjoyed the video. I must admit however that, as Delorean Rider stated, since we have in-park footage standing out in the cold in the parking lot is just an Extreme waste of time.

The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Oh, really? Are you one of those people who think it is a complete waste of time to go to a Super Bowl when you can see it on the telly in comfort? Standing in the cold in the parking lot to SEE Diamondback in action is certainly a better thing for many than seeing ANY video of it. Next thing you know, will you be telling us there is no need to ride it as someone on the staff of KICentral has, so riding it yourself is just an "Extreme waste of time?"

JAHill Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Ironic capitalization of the word extreme... Anyway, I agree with Terpy. Seeing it in real life is much, much, MUCH better than seeing it on a video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standbyme Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 goofywdw, Thank you for the video...it was fun to watch. There hasn't been too much to talk about for the last day or so...so your video came at a great time. Also, thank you for even having the desire to do this...after all, you really don't know most of us posters personally...so it is nice that you still care enough to do this. Next thing you know, will you be telling us there is no need to ride it as someone on the staff of KICentral has, so riding it yourself is just an "Extreme waste of time?" Interpreter, thank you for posting this...I don't think most people would have had the courage...including myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I likt that video and all but why would you take it from that angle? Thanks for the video though. Was that the train I hear running in the background? THe park is starting to come alive again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterboy22101 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Um...my sister just called me and said she saw Drop Tower testing. Could this be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well, the park has to test all the rides every spring before they open to ensure that everything is operational after the offseason rehabs. Not to mention that the Department of Agriculture will be visiting the park to inspect the rides and approve them to be opened to the general public. So not only will Drop Tower be testing, but so will every other ride in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIFAN! Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Does the department of agriculture do this every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I see a snake coming out of storage for testing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Um...my sister just called me and said she saw Drop Tower testing. Could this be true? Well seeing as that the park opens in just a bit more than a month, I can bet on it that they're testing ALL of their rides. Not all the attention goes to the new coaster lol.

nhimes90 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Um...my sister just called me and said she saw Drop Tower testing. Could this be true? They were indead testing DT yesterday. They only actually lifted the ride gondola once but they played with the purple lift mechanism (don't know the real name for it) from 11ish till at least 1:30 when I left the area.

Yes I noticed that they raised the purple mechanism (I too do not know the name) and asked myself if that had been up all off season and I'm pretty sure it hasn't. Thank you to all who enjoyed my video! And I couldn't have really filmed it at a different angle unless I went over towards the Lazer Kraze parking lot or went into the employee parking lot. Which I probably could have done seeing that I have my employee ID now but I didn't want to risk getting into trouble. EDIT: Caught a picture of the splashdown.

KIFAN! Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Sweet! Nice catch that looks awesome! Very snakeish! Also I'm looking at the webcam and it is working perfectly for me. First time its done that in awile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I likt that video and all but why would you take it from that angle? Why does it matter? I think the video turned out nicely. Thanks for sharing Goofy and for taking the time to go get it. A couple weeks ago I was driving home from school and coming down I-71, looked to my left and saw it running. Even if you're outside the park, seeing it from the angle goofy showed gets you very excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpy, just sayin' What I'm saying is that there's a video on the internet that shows the ride from up close, so standing out in the parking lot in the cold, wind and rain to catch a video of it cresting the tops of the hills just seems groundless to me. Then again, I may have been one to stand out in the passenger pickup area in the freezing cold in my younger years. Interpreter, thank you for posting this...I don't think most people would have had the courage...including myself. Interpreter just kind of does whatever he wants. We tolerate it.

goofywdw Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just noticed all of the lights hanging off of the station and some heading down the exit ramp. The ares is starting to get its feel! I can't wait to start seeing the queue start to take shape too. I have a question though because I'm not really sure what the line will look like. You see how there are 2 little parts of concrete sticking out of the big massive slab of concrete? Is the one on the right right next to the end of the exit going to be the entrance and the little part of concrete sticking out on the left going to continue under the lift the up the stairs into the station?
