A.J. Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 They've only had trains for a week and they're already going to let people on it? Is that safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinnwitted Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Now that.............is awesome. Agreed 100%. I wonder if Mt. Olympus made a media B-Roll for TPR and other coaster clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Johnson Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The really fixed the pacing of that section of the ride. Before it used to lose a lot of speed in that section, not anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDoesKnow Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Just got off the phone with Nick. I'll be at the park Thursday filming. Will get full POV, reverse POV, 3D POV, rider cam, reverse rider cam, and off-ride. I'll try to get it up as soon as possible. I can't wait to ride this thing!

PKI Jizzman Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Holy crap that looks awesome. I haven't heard many good things about Hades but it looks like they have really turned this ride around; hopefully the Timberliners and the retracking proves right! Now if only the Voyage can follow suit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It looks great from testing. The train is just speeding through the roll. I can't wait to hear some reviews of it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneRider92 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 God dang I wish I didn't have work this weekend! Please let the weather clear so I can make a trip up on Monday or Tuesday and ride this bad boy. It looks GREAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Surprised there's still a decent amount of the track during the course that was left alone. I guess TGG felt like it was still in good enough shape for the Timberliners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess TGG felt like it was still in good enough shape for the Timberliners. When I interviewed Nick back in March, he said that about 80 percent of the ride was getting re-tracked. Some of the non re-tracked sections still appear a little rough to me, but that might just be me. Guess I'll find out Thursday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Wow it really flies over some of those hills now, but that one hill after the return through the tunnel really looked slow compared to the rest of the ride. Are those anti-rollbacks new on that hill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yes, I think that they are. Does it actually go slower through the sections of track after the return trip through the tunnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once you go down the drop the rest is super smooth! The train looked like it was about to stop on the hill coming back out of the tunnel. Still looks like a great ride though!!!

deathbydinn Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 ^ I've never found the part before the lift rough, even with the PTCs. It's actually a surprisingly fun part of the ride with a few pops of air. Does it actually go slower through the sections of track after the return trip through the tunnel? Comparing this pov to TPR's old one which I believe is from 2005, from the top of the hill to the brake run did seem to take a few seconds longer than before. But that was always a particularly rough and uneventful area of the ride so I don't really think it'll lose anything by going a bit slower through it. I kinda wish they could've thrown in the new over bank over there instead, but this revamp still looks great and should be great for the park.

Skycoastin Steve Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 ^Also remember that in the TPR video, the entire ride (I believe) was brand new, and rough sections of track slow the ride down. Not to mention these trains also need to get broken in. I'm betting that in a few weeks, the ride will be running much faster than you see in that POV.
