Gatekeeper Test runs

They are running tests, but not full circuit, yet. So you got me on a technicality! :-)

Not to change topic but Windseeker is being tested.

Take a Look

Where is the 3rd train? I only see two

^ It isn't at the ride yet. Whether it is in one of the picnic shelters or not yet shipped, I don't know.

EDIT: Transfer track has now returned to the "Run" position with the train on it.

Train in the station?

Take that question mark away, because that is a statement! :)

I'm hitting refresh every 5 seconds. I don't want to miss anything!

Both Trains are in the station now?

The other train is still on the storage track.

I hope they do a full circuit test today. If not today I'm assuming they will tomorrow.

Yeah they're ready to go the weather just has to get a little warmer!!

You are not going to see any testing as long as they are painting the towers. OHSA might have a slight issue with that. I thought I heard was they were targeting April 4th for the first test run.

The latest I see the first test run being is Thursday. I don't think we are getting one today due to the temperature, but Thursday it will defiantly be warm enough. There is defiantly a train in the station though.

I'm gonna take a wild guess at this. Maybe they are testing out the storage track and loading station right now. Then once that has been tested and given the green light they do a full circuit test. Like I said, I'm just guessing... Thoughts?

Has the low zone fencing even gone up? I doubt they'll test before that.

I think that is exactly what they are doing. Making sure the trains are doing exactly what they need to while in the station such as restrain release.

So, just so I'm clear, they're doing "restrain release" testing on the train that is "defiantly" in the station, and so long as the weather is warm enough, they can run full-circuit tests, regardless of whether or not the appropriate safety controls are in place?

I'm so glad the coaster construction experts are here to help. ;)

How much would you pay to be able to take a ride on the first full circuit test? I can't even imagine how unsafe that would be, but lets just say if you could... Hmm I might realistically throw down $200 after signing a piece of paper not to sue if anything were to happen to me (no more than that though)... I would choose the left front outermost seat fo sho!!! hahaha

Honestly, I'd expect it to be pretty damn safe. Safer than however you managed to get to the park. However.... there's no way they'd ever let someone on the first full circuit test. Waiver or not.

So glad I am not the only person bothered by defiantly.
