homestar92 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 This girl in my class claims that she has rode this ride. She says that she works games and that since she works there that she gets to ride it before everyone else. She also said that she rode a two weeks ago. For one, i don't think it's even been cleared to the public to run. For two, serious testing just started yesterday. I know there is no way she has rode it... it's impossible... Obviously. But I just wanted to make sure that it is... Before i rip on her Quote
dr_humor Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 The girl in question is one of the saddest types of human beings on the planet. Quote

homestar92 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 That's exactly as I thought. The ripping will commence tomorrow. xD Quote
beastrider97 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Right now WindSeeker is just going up and down. No spinning as far as I can tell. I know that there is pretty much zero chance of it being open tomorrow but could you imagine? It would be great Quote

Hendrick Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I haven't seen anyone post a picture of the carriage at the top of the tower, so I will. From yesterday evening. Quote

But I just wanted to make sure that it is... Before i rip on her Did she by chance ride it via youtube? If she is a park employee she needs to be careful when making statements like these. She could lose her job over this if management finds out about it. And yes, it is impossible for her to have ridden the ride already. Humans aren't allowed to ride until the state clears it and as far as I know humans + water dummies are not allowed riding the ride at the same time. (waiting for a joke to be made) Quote
frisbeefan Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Hopefully they will test at full speed soon, but my guess is that won't be for a little while. Quote
Flat Freak Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 as far as I know humans + water dummies are not allowed riding the ride at the same time. (waiting for a joke to be made) Does that mean I'll have to ride by myself? :rimshot Quote
SonofBeast07 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Perhaps she sat in it when no one was looking? A motionless ride? ha Park employees often get to ride before the public, but I doubt any higher ups have even been allowed to ride yet. Maybe they needed a test "dummy" Quote
KIfan1980 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 as far as I know humans + water dummies are not allowed riding the ride at the same time. (waiting for a joke to be made) Don't know any rules, but wasn't there a video of people riding Timberliners on voyage with water dummies also on the train. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Not sure about that, never saw it. It may be different when it comes to different parks. But from what I remember being told when Diamondback was going through testing that was the case. Things may have changed! It's nice to see WindSeeker testing today! Quote
CedarPointer Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I've seen dummies riding some of the rides along with everyone else... Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Are you sure she wasn't one of the dummies? Haha Quote
Beast1979 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 This conversation isn't very punny anymore... Quote
thekidd33 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I remember the Voyage pictures as well. There were water dummies in the front half or so of the train and two people riding in the very back if I remember correctly. Quote

CoasterFreak45 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Are they still doing early ride time for Diamondback and The Beast tomorrow? Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Hark! The Voyage footage in question: From Holiday World's "Holiblogger" YouTube account. Quote
PhantomTheater Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 At CP in the early/late season when it's cooler out, Millie's test runs have the water dummies in so it doesn't volley with the op in it. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks for that TombRaiderFTW. I find it interesting that they were allowed to ride with water dummies. Of course the ride was already operational and commissioned. I don't see KI letting someone ride with water dummies on a ride that hasn't been deemed operational and commissioned by the state. Could be a CF policy or state policy, if a policy at all. Quote
TylerRider Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Well I don't know who the other was, but a Koch was riding. I assume you might be able to get past laws if you legally own the ride. Quote
AZ Kinda Guy Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 In the state of Ohio, the ride does not have to be certified by the Department of Agriculture in order for park employees to ride. Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Well I don't know who the other was, but a Koch was riding. I assume you might be able to get past laws if you legally own the ride. The "other" would be Mike Graham of The Gravity Group. The Gravity Group designed The Voyage. As far as ownership making you above the law... I know no facts, but I'm doubtful that's the case. Quote

Yep, and we have had the pleasure of doing such a thing before. Quote
corn4ahead Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Is ws open today? It is at the top of the tower and it looks like there are people in it? Quote
Oldiesmann Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 It is not open to the public yet. If it were, the park would have announced it. The only "people" on it would be the water dummies. Quote
