coaster_junky Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 the trains are at the park right now and (with weather pending) the trains should go on the track sometime this week. also testing will start as soon as weather allows, but right now the web-cam is still to dark for me to see what could be cars for the trains.

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I don't know, I've only been able to make out normal road-type cars near the station. Haven't seen anything that makes me believe the coaster cars are on the cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the web cam this morning; and it looks like there is some kind of rain in the storage shed , although it may just me needing to get my eyes checked!

Ki Man Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 At the event, Mr. Helbig said that the trains had been in a hiding place on KI's property for a couple weeks, and they should be going on either by the end of this week or next week. Also, you can't test the ride until the trackwork is complete, (check) electrical work (not sure), and that's about all I know....testing should be in March or so, I think it was said. I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 While all the track work may be complete, they may still have some work to do on the supports. After the ride steel was placed, there was a gap between the top of the footing and the bottom of the base plate of the support. Once they have torqued all the bolts the proper amount, they will come back in and fill the gap between the footing and the support with expansive grout. (Some of the supports in the brake run area and lift hill had their grout put in place back in October). The grout provides a uniform surface for the loads to be transferred from the support into the footing, where the loads can be dispersed into the ground. All the grout must be in place (and cured) before the ride can begin testing. Just offering some construction expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawkboy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I really don't think they'd place brand new coaster trains out in the snow. My guess is that they are in the maintence shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittenpooh Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 KIC topics are like onions. Lots of layers. Ok thats great thats all I have to say!!! Last I heard from Mr. Helbig it should be some time with in the next two weeks when the trains would arrive. But mind you that was last week. Im sure they are going to stay in hiding untill the weather lets up. I agree, I dont think they are going to put new trains in the snow.

violakat03 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The implication at the event was exactly that, that we should be seeing them go up as soon as the weather is appropriate. It's supposed to be in the 40's this weekend so hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. um lets get back on topic. I have no idea how rick has anything to do with trains; excepted when we all got ricked rolled by who ever it was that did that. Just for reference ... no one was rick rolled in this thread. The link was not a rick roll, and when it is an obviously embedded video, it is not considered a rick roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
