Maverick00 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Last night was probly the best night so far. I've never seen the park so dead (pun intended). Every coaster was a a walk on the entire night except for Dragster which was only a couple feet out of the station and Millennium which was at the end of the unload station. I walked right onto Maverick before closing. I rode Skyhawk and maXair several times without getting off. The haunt attractions were about 15 minutes all night. The weather was perfect too. No wind at all so the fog stayed in its location all night and it was perfect hoodie and jeans weather without feeling too warm or cold. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 That area of the park looks great. I was there last night and its amazing how different it was. I never realized how much space Disaster Transport took up. It looks much better without Space Spiral too. Speak for yourself! Some of us see an awkward hole in the skyline. I walked right onto Maverick before closing. How is Maverick with the pirates underneath it? In other news Troika has been freed and is now operational.

Maverick00 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Pretty cool. You actually can't see the path most of the ride. The fog pretty much covers the whole ride too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Forgive my ignorance, but under what portions of Maverick does the pirate trail pass? I can't think of anywhere that isn't barricaded by water, walls, or low clearance. Is it a scare zone or an open-air Haunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Yes! (at CP any outdoor zone is called a scare zone) The trail zig zags around the obstacles, starting from near the RR station curving all the way to Thunder Canyon. It is quite long and well done considering the location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kblanken Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Those pics from the Register - the one of the wheels - is this gonna have an elevator lift or a chain? Most likely, yes. From the animation, and the fact that it is designed by B&M, it will have a chain lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Christopher Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Those pics from the Register - the one of the wheels - is this gonna have an elevator lift or a chain? I think those wheels you see are for the storage track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Gatekeeper will have a chain lift. The wheels are for the storage track, they are similar to most B&M storage track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
