Countdown Lights

yes, there should be 2 greens on the tower, all you have to do is look at the banner on any of the webcams to see that, and you will also see that it was supposed to have six rungs light up, not 4, but that's been discussed already.

No, there was not supposed to be 6 levels lit. 4 is the correct number, but yes, there should be 2 greens, not one..obviously..

Mabey they don't have all the lights yet. That's why they only have 1 green. They might wait untill the rest of the lights arrive then move the green light down and add the rest of the yellow lights. I want them too add more because the green light is pretty high up and I think it would be better if you could look strait ahead down the track and see the green lights.

Is it possible that they don't have the colored lenses on the lights yet? Just a thought.

There are only suposed to be four rows of lights if you noticed the catwalks before the lights you would have noticed that there were square holes in the four highest catwalks and not in the bottom two and they put the lights in thoes holes so no there will not be anymore lights they jsut screwed up in the lightbulbs or whatever they use.

So where is the green light, I know that it is the fourth one down, but is it in the middle of the catwalk or on one side? Does anyone have any pics of it working either?

TopThrillDude, the green light is the 4th one down, right side.

Honest truth told to me by marina gate readmissions host:

Host: Hand stamped, two cents.

Me: That's cool, I think I have two cents.

Host: I better not take it, by the time you leave here its all you'll have.

The light is clearly yellow, so perhaps the company that manufactured those screwed up, which is the more likely cause for the incorrect lenses, seeing as how they disappointed the park by not delivering before opening day...

Since they are both wired together now, they may be working on that one light that's yellow, so they may have shut the whole thing down only for a little bit..

after the mechanics installed those on the tower, and came back down to the ground, and plugged em' in, the first word out of their mouths was more than likely: "sh**"

Does it really matter? You don't even see those lights when your riding. All im watching is the track. Some of you people make too big of a deal about the little things. The big things is waiting in line and the dragster shuts down and opens back up all day not some stupid lights

------------------
Hey ive probably met you at cedar point, im there enough!! And thats me in the picture on the left

calm down man, we're not complaining, just pointing something that is rather obvious...and I'm willing to bet you that 90% of all TTD riders watch that tower before launching, speedfreak..

Actually I noticed today that when it comes to the bottom row, the orange lights up, then the green. They do not light up at the same time like the previous three rows of yellow lights. Maybe it is supposed to be that way?

I acctually thought of that too forcedude04, Just like in real drag racing if one of the cars starts out before the green light comes on, the red light goes on and they get disqualified. So maybe thats what they were going for with this. Since this isnt a racing coaster.
