The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Having made many, many trips to Geauga Lake, mainly to ride X Flight, I can't even tell you how happy I am! Quote
mutedarkness Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 AH the trains! theres a row still at gl, I saw it when I drove by Quote
KIBeast Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Couldn't agree more, Interpreter. Haven't been around lately, but, anyone know of a new paint schemem or will it stay the same? Quote
Reclaimer Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 From the press release: The best of the best begin their mission just behind Flight of Fear roller coaster in Coney Mall. After boarding their four-across yellow and red pilot seats, guests are lowered backward and begin their ascent up the 115-foot-tall red and steel gray lift hill, only to be flipped over and jetted at top speeds through ½ mile of steel track over the course of 2 minutes and 30 seconds! Yellow and red trains. Quote
Vortex Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 From the last picture it looks like KI will be using the two loading stations. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Yes, the park has confirmed there will be dual loading stations. Quote
tubaman Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I guess it is because I haven't been on a ride that I remember (other than Racer/recaR) with dual loading stations, but... The idea of dual loading stations just makes me happy. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 The dual loading stations will be really nice! Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Especially if, as I expect, they actually USE both sides most of the time. That is not always the case in many Six Flags parks...at least based on past observations. B and M Supermen, in particular... Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah I don't see why they wouldn't use them most of the time. I could see maybe on the less busy days or early in the morning but other than that I think they need both stations open to keep the line moving for the ride specially since there is no MCBR. Quote
Tuskin Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah I don't see why they wouldn't use them most of the time. I could see maybe on the less busy days or early in the morning but other than that I think they need both stations open to keep the line moving for the ride specially since there is no MCBR. I agree they definatly should use them all the time especially during the opening year I could understand if its a slow day but in the mid summer time they should have them both always open! Quote
Beast08 Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Do you think they will have a singles line? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Do you think they will have a singles line? Maybe that would be a pretty nice idea and speed the line up a little filling every seat on the train Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Well, if they run the ride like they have been running IJST, they will not want to send a train out without an empty seat. But a train on Firehawk holds twice as many people as what the trains on IJ hold, so capacity may not be quite as critical as it is on IJ. Quote
PKIVortex Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 How does a single rider line benefit the actual wait of the line, it does help capacity so you don't have to send out empty seats, it's just a benefit to single riders. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 One more person on the ride filling an empty train that would otherwise not run full....is one more person out of my way!! Thats how it benefits the line, one more single rider not in the line, is one less person waiting to ride! Quote
Tuskin Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Exactly right, say you have a group of 3, well thats were the single ride line would come into place, making it so the trains are always filled and making the lines as short as possiable Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 They still have a LOT of work to do in a little more than two months! Quote
PKIVortex Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Yes they do, but the weather is going to be great except with some period of rains, but I have faith. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Faith, I understand. But how can you possibly know what the next two months of weather is going to be like. You should work for the National Weather Service or Accuweather if you can predict that that accurately! Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 You never know when an amateur meteorologist is right!! But I do agree, chances are that we've seen the worst weather come and pass, so hopefully the rain will be the worst of their worries. I wouldn't be shocked at all if it opened on time. They're really trucking now. The vertical construction part goes very quickly! Quote
