gigacoaster2k Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 For anyone who doesn't know, or was asking me what's going on: MF has been having issues holding one train waiting for the loading station, with another train in the loading station at the same time (blocking issues). The temporary solution for this was to remove a train, rather than hours of downtime while trying to fix the problem. I have been talking to a friend about this who is employed at CP, and he said that all three trains have been running yesterday and today. Hopefully it stays that way.

gigacoaster2k Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Last thing we want is for Millennium Force to have maintenance troubles! I text my friend almost every day and ask how my Millie is doing. He will send photos of TTD, Maverick, and Millie to my cell, and sometimes he'll call me while he's in line for TTD so I can hear the roar of the train going overhead. He gets to ride CP coasters almost every day. It usually throws me into a temporary, yet intense fit of jealousy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketingExpress Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 ^How much would you give? And what would you do for a Klondike Bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 ^You have no Idea How much I would give to hear TTD roar again! Watch around 3:19 and 3:37, best shots in the whole video. You can hear the scream of the launch cable. The only thing is, I hate watching it because it gets me all pumped to ride TTD, but I'm 3 hours away.

DeLorean Rider Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I only take my roars in person. How about the roar of the Jungle Cruise. Now that's music to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I LOVE TTD's roar. Nothing like walking through the entrance under the track and hearing that deafening 120-mph roar like a rocket above your head and the slight tremble of the pavement below you. One of the few things that gives me goosebumps on a 90 degree day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 ^The only thing better then TTD's roar is, well, TTD! And MF. And, well, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I like how B&M sound better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well I've never really heard a B&M Roar. Dominator @ GL I really didn't hear anything and Raptor and Mantis at CP I couldn't hear it with all the exterior noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well I've never really heard a B&M Roar. Dominator @ GL I really didn't hear anything and Raptor and Mantis at CP I couldn't hear it with all the exterior noise. Go to the Burger Patio seating area, right in front of Raptor. I love the roar when the train races down the first hill and through the loop. It's loud. It was enough to drown out the person I was talking to on my cell.

Beast1979 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well Diamondback will not have sand in it's track. So all you Roar lovers will be satisfied next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TombraiderTy Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm glad that most of Diamondback is off away from the pathways- it's annoying when you're trying to hold a conversation and a massive roar interrupts you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Well Diamondback will not have sand in it's track. So all you Roar lovers will be satisfied next year. My favorite roars: TTD when you're by the entrance MF as you walk through Frontier Trail Raptor going through the loop Mantis going through the loop I also love: the sound of the initial launch on Wicked Twister (the LIM motors mixed with everyone's scream) the compressed air sound of Power Tower the hum from Drop Tower halfway up when it starts going faster the roar/hum that Drop Tower makes at the end of the drop the Flight of Fear launch when you're in the loading station and can hear the coaster roaring into the darkness the sound Delirium and MaxAir make as they swing through the air No. I don't like coasters at all.
