RollerC Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Will this thing really be open by opening day? It dosen't look so. We just got another blast of cold air and snow so this may halt construstion for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I bet since they worked through the winter the bad weather will be nothing. I got the snow on my way home from Chicago tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 It snowed all night here , so no testing now.

Eric_Smith Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 How does something like that get out?? Doesn't Cedar Fair keep that under wraps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroger8 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Well, Cedar Fair can't control everything it's employees and the people who have been contracted to build the ride take video of, especially on days when construction is halted, besides with all of the movies, and povs already out, they are probably more relaxed about it.

Reality15 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 How does something like that get out?? Doesn't Cedar Fair keep that under wraps?That's what I was wondering. I found this on another forum so thought I'd share the link. My guess is that Cedar Fair will have it removed, however, as soon as they find out that whoever leaked it.

RollerC Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Why would they remove it? THe video dosen't show anything we haven't already seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedB Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Looks like the link has been removed. Can anyone say what it was about? As usual I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerC Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 It was just two vidoes of someone onsite recording the station and the queve up to the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I wish I could've seen that. I'm still a bit confused as to how the queue will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 ^From my understanding the entrance and exit will be on the same side. There will be a "loose article" bin on the opposite side. . I hope I am right, but can someone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 If so then that could lengthen dispatch times, but what's the reason for this then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 ^^I could be wrong but i thought you entered on one side (left if on the train) and leave on the opposite side (right side if on the train). At least i think that's what is in the animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 ^Got this from the blog. Don't know if this means anything.Or does this just mean that there is only one station? I have a question for you. Since Maverick will load and unload on the same platform, will the ride have bins to leave your belongings in like the other rides, or will the park require all loose articles be left in lockers? Thanks! From Tony & Tyler: There will be storage bins on the loading platform for your loose articles. EDIT: Look at the pic real close, Is it a Train??? Is it a Train??????

Right, same platform, they mean that its not going to be like Millennium or Dragster where you load/unload on different platforms. The person just wanted to know if you would have to rent a locker or not when you ride. At least that's what i got from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odene497 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 EDIT: Look at the pic real close, Is it a Train??? Coming over that part of the track you would be seeing the front of the train, and that definitely doesn't look like it. I think it's a cherry picker of some sort. -Nick C.
