Testing continued on Thursday night.  They filled the trains with water dummies, tested two train operations, etc.  We got to see the
whole "process" of getting a ride ready for opening day in action.  It was very interesting and very fun! 

Here's the first drop, bit a little closer to the bottom of it.  You can see here there is GCI track everywhere!

Mike Boodley in the front seat makes sure the track is clear!

Some good forces coming off that turn around drop into a little floater airtime hill.

Did we mention sexy GCI curves?

Another angle of the first drop.

If you like your wood dense, this is pretty impressive.

How does another angle of the first drop grab you?   Ohh, you like that huh?  ;)

More cross overs and all that other good wood coaster stuff.

This little twist is what brings you back to the home stretch to the station.

And here they come!

Station fly By!!!!!

The final turn before heading into the brake run.

"Hey guys!  How's it going?  Time to do a little 'floorboard filming!"

Yes, KidTums is also here.  Would you believe she slept through the whole thing?

"Robb and Joe...sitting in a train....."

Awww....this is as far as they would let KidTums get!  Maybe in a few years she'll be screaming through Renegade too.

"Hey Elissa!  Ready to get spooged on again by a water dummy?"

Elissa's in the "water dummy spooge seat!"

"Hopefully our fat asses won't break the damn coaster before it opens!"
BTW, Renegade is AWESOME at night!

"Hey guess what, we broke the damn coaster before it opened!"

"Ok, everyone get out an push!"

Damn brake fin stuck again!

Nothing that a hammer and a little elbow grease can't fix!
