Testing Sky Ride

I see by the cleveland cam they are testing sky ride yay!

They've been testing it for about a week now. The difference is they finally sent out some cabins.

While I can understand this thread since its got a new cable. I hope a dozen more don't start up about each ride starting to run.

I am going to make a suggestion that we keep all testing related posts in this one thread.

Anywho, I did notice yesterday that the buckets were put back on the Giant Wheel. And looking back at when rides started running last year, we should see lots of activity over the next couple weeks. And even more-so after the ops have started to process in in late April.

When I first read the title, I saw "Testing Skyhawk". I was just cursing (out loud, mind you) T&T for lying to us. :)

Thats cool that they've got some gondolas on that baby. Watching the park slowly come back to "life" is always fun... Is it May yet? ;)

EDIT: Perhaps Walt or Jeff can alter the title to "Ride Testing", or something?

I realize that. There is much to be done before the webcams pick up anything on the rides. But still, its refreshing to see the park coming to life.

I think you are reading into what I typed a little too much.

I guess I've just been spoiled to have been there myself for the park opening up.

What I'm saying is that there is system testing (just make sure it all works after the long winter) before they go sending trains and whatnot out. I'd actually be interested in seeing how much actually does go into opening a coaster before they start running the trains to break-em in for a new year.

I noticed power tower testing just a few minutes ago.

ohhhh....this is exciting! I remember last year when they had the cam on top of dragster and you could see alot of things testing. Expecially Corkscrew and Iron Dragon.

Wow, to me, time has flown by. I hope that trend fallows through for the next month...
