The layout, sure it is short, but I think it will back a huge punch with three inversions in a row. _________________ Rich is short for Dick, Dick is short for Rich.

Now, I'm no engineer, but that doesn't seem smart to me.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: As you can see without me telling you, it's super low to the ground.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: It's going to be crawling through here.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: You may not be able to see, but there's 2 sets of brakes on the mcbr, and it's clearly longer than a train judging by the size of the maintenance shed at the bottom. Anyone know why?  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: They're doing lots of work on the station.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: See?  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: Mystery yellow tarps.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: This guy was sanding down the transitions.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: It's like a station drive-by.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: These supports make no sense to me. That tall one in the foreground is right before that really short one on the right that you can barely see. That's for the wing dip.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s)  Description: Here's a closer look at the wing dip support. Thanks for reading, everybody.  Viewed:  4478 Time(s) _________________ Toots|Show|Thread|Self

Quote: You may not be able to see, but there's 2 sets of brakes on the mcbr, and it's clearly longer than a train judging by the size of the maintenance shed at the bottom. Anyone know why? Well the train enter the MCBR with some speed so the MCBR must be longer then the train to be able to safely stop the train without any chance of overshooting the MCBR, especially since a flyer have more "complex" seating so you have space to fold down the seats and safely evacuate the train. _________________ "I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."

They sure are getting Manta done fast, of course excluding foliage, buildings, groundwork, and themeing, the trackwork should be done pretty soon. It's kind of weird to think that Manta's trackwork may be completed before Rip Ride Rockit's track has even gone vertical. -Justin

I think it's supposed to be about 600lbs of force applied when installing the bolts.

It is the worst watching the coaster sit stagnent for so long after the trackwork is completed. _________________ Rich is short for Dick, Dick is short for Rich. Does this mean Rich people are Dicks?
