Kat Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Guyzzz they're just using SOB station ^^_ I doubt that....
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 sorry forgot quotes [sarcasm] XXXXX [/sarcasm] Insert text in the Xs 2
Kat Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I figured you weren't serious but too tired to start assuming the logic in things LOL
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Lol... Well in the future, I'll insert the brackets just for you 1
medford Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 That is NOT the station. Trust me, I know the station area very well. That is the transfer track area, which is adjacent to the station. thanks, should have realized that, storage shed, transfer, station.
YoungStud Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I haven't either, its a love hate relationship to me. I like how quickly the line moves and how neat the station looks when they assign seats, but I also like to pick where I sit. Like yesterday, my friends and I went to the park and lapped Diamondback quite a bit. For my 100th ride I wanted to sit in the very back, and we did just that! No questions asked! On a side note, has anyone else noticed how much Diamondbacks lift hill supports have faded over the past year? I would rather not have a attendant at the top of the steps. If the station was full then there would not be empty rows heading out on busy days. CP does an outstanding job by calling out for single riders. I was on the ramp for TTD and they called out for a single rider front seat on TTD and I bypassed the line! 2
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The good thing about a ride op at turnstile is to make sure that those in the station are cleared to ride, watch for line jumpers, and manage crowd. CP does manage crowd control a bit better, but lets say someone jumps the line and goes through the queue that doesn't meet rider safety guidelines, that person has a greater chance to be on the ride when they shouldn't. I like the op at turnstile, they should have this. For assigned seating, it's nice, but like for Corkscrew, we didn't assign seats, but if a row was getting bare or needed slots to fill, I'd suggest rows 2
flightoffear1996 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 How come the paint fades on coasters so quickely? You dont see this on cars? I wodner what type of paint they are using.
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 You also wash, wax, and detail cars.. I don't see people climbing supports and detailing them 5
flightoffear1996 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I know people who havent waxed or washed thier cars in years and the paint still isn't fading. 2
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I swear I've seen an article about their paint before mentioning I believe marine based paint...I'd need someone to verify it or find it once I'm off of a .mil network
medford Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 looks like a new truck load of track arrived recently. Can't tell for sure, is that track they're staging over by where the water tower is? If so, then I assume we'll start to see track going up by friday before Ki reopens for business. Edit, upon 2nd look, looks like its a 2nd truck load of track, can't tell if its been stagged, but my guess is its still sitting on the flatbed waiting for the other truck to unload. 2
sheikra_rocks Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The camera needs to be zoomed in a little. They need to have someone at the top of the stairs for crowd control. Canada's Wonderland is by far the best at everything they do to get their trains filled and dispatched in a timely manner. 2
UnrealNightmare Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I just use Firefox Image Zoom and zoom in myself. 5
Kat Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 It does look like a new truck load of track! Can anyone confirm this?? I'm going to KI on Saturday as its my only day to go. I work Friday and going to Riverfest on Sunday
medford Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 it was at least 2 truck loads of track. When I looked earlier, there was one unloading and there was another truck waiting by the old water tower. However many minutes later when I looked again, the original truck had pulled out and the one by the water tower had backed in waiting for the crane to lift the track off. Could have been a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.... prior to that, can't say I've been watching all morning, but there were at least 2 loads of track dropped off today. 1
Kat Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I can't tell from the picture but are there new supports up by the transfer/storage area? To the right of the yellow crane but to the left of the staging platform. Is that new? I don't have my camera on me to consult the pics I took over the weekend to be able to tell. I would circle it but I'm on my phone on the way to work so I don't have the means to point out what I'm talking about.
UnrealNightmare Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 It looks like Clifford has made his return finally! 5
sheikra_rocks Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Also, you can see the actual track hanging from the sliding mechanism for the transfer!
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I don't think anyone made the official announcement for Clifford Send in THE CRANES P.S. We need someone who can sound like Liam Neeson say that...it would be super legit
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 They need to get a multiple webcams closer and at different angles, it gets blurry as you zoom if and makes it harder to see the construction 1
LongTimeLurker Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 200% on chrome looks best to me but I keep wanting to drag the screen to get a different angle. 1
The Interpreter Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I don't think anyone made the official announcement for Clifford Send in THE CRANES P.S. We need someone who can sound like Liam Neeson say that...it would be super legit Ahem. And soon it's next year. 3
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Didn't they have multiple camera views for Diamondback? I hope they do this soon for Banshee.
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Sorry for double post. Don tweeted that the first piece of track was installed today, I don't see where that was, does anyone else? Sorry if this was already mentioned.
CoastersRZ Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I think that it was installed on the transfer track area of the ride.
