D4n Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Somebody deleted my post: so here we go again I think that the new coaster blends in well with Colossus and Samuari (judging from photos anyway). Hopefully I'll be able to take a few piccy's for you lot on Thursday.*wonders why post was deleted before" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRGeorge Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 When I go on Friday, I'll try to upload some photos Btw, what are air gates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 The gates that stop you from falling on the track in the station when there is no train there (different in inferno's case, blah blah) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRGeorge Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh, okay, THANKS Tommy.I love rides which start off above ground level.Btw, why is the brake run inside the building going upwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Lord knows, probably just to gain some height and speed ready for the next dive into the sawmill, so it can get through the Zero-G Roll. There'll probably be some themeing to look at while your slowly going upwards, like a TV flickering with Jigsaw on it , blood-spattered spikes, a manner of torture weapons, or amputated body parts.

TPSam Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 The break run will probably be for some tension building on the way up, or it might be for a quick, unexpected boost to keep riders alert before the Zero-G Roll.At this point though it's anyone's guess.

Jake C Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have a few questions about the new coaster1st dose anyone know when they will star testing2nd when will the station be complete3rd will the trains have good scenery on them well not scenery but you no what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 1) They will start testing when the cars have arrived and been put on the track and when all the electrics have been done and the station is finished I would expect, so in closed season sometime, I'll take a rough guess at December - January.2) God knows, the outer shell doesn't look that far off though.3) I hope so! There aren't any plans around for the cars so we'll have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I wish they had like a special testing day where you could come see the ride testing that would be fun or they should test it on a day when the park opens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hmm theoretically it might sound good, but if you've been when a coaster isn't open and its testing all day, you'll know how bloody frustrating it is to see it test and know you can't ride it :)But on the other hand, if the February openings happen again next year then I expect you will get to see it testing.

James Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 They have done that for the past two years but to be honest there isn't really much in it for the park, a lot of rides were down and the amount of guests visiting was low. IMO I'd rather they stayed shut for February and reopened the park in March when the place is ready to be open and all the major rides aren't down.

Jake C Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I remember 2007 opening day brings back bad memory's no rides open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 As far as I'm aware, all cars are due on site in January. So I'd guess that testing will start January / February time. If there's another Fen half term opening, I'd assume there'd be some testing you could see.However, I've had an idea. To build up publicity, they could have a test go with a few test riders (the manquein things), but a 'horrible accident' happens a saw a trap or the headchopper element chopped of his head, and now there is great concern for public safety. However, this was fixed to make the ride seem scarier and build up publicity. (I know quite a lot of people like going on Slammer because they think they'll get stuck on it...)
