I got to ride WT how bout you?

First of all next time anyone makes a topic like this please don't make the name sound boastfull like yeahwellipushbuttons did.Second we will all get to ride it eventually so it really does not matter who gor to ride first.I understand that yeahwellipushbuttons was excited about it I would be too but if I were to put a topic about it up I would reword it.if anyone has any complaints about this post please e-mail me about it and not post "flamming"remarks.

I think it was a clever title...just my opinion though

This topic was title was not ment to be boastful. When I found that people thought it was I tryed to explain. I am sorry If it offended you but I thought that it would attract people that DID get to ride to come and post what thay thought about it.

I understand that I just wish that the title was reworded differently.btw I should of added that what I put was just how I felt about it.

Does it really matter? WT is an awesome ride. Some have been lucky enough to experience it already. Soon, you will too. The title of the topic isn't going to have any bearing on whether or not you like the coaster. Lighten up, man.

Hey, everyone of you jealous people lay off poor yeahwellipushbuttons, will you please? Aside from the fact it's shorter than corkscrew (I didn't honestly think that was possible) it sounds like a lot of fun.

I have three more questions. Do the belts have two seperate fastining locations like I've heard other impulses have? Also, how fast were they cycling it? I know it may have been slow because of the commercial shoot, but was there a lot of down time between runs? Finally, about how long is the actual ride time?

Ralph yes there are two belt fasten points. I could not tell you how fast thay are cycleing it cuz the shoot took forever because of camra angles. And the ride lastes about 50 sec, I think. If you get a job at CP you could be in a commercal shoot too!!

Is there any weightlessness on the ride? I saw something on another page that mentions airtime but I would suspect it would be different than the airtime on Magnum or MF.

No there is not really any air time.

Not really airtime, Magnum style, but you are at 0 Gs going up and coming down the vertical part of the ride. No, I haven't ridden WT, but I've been on Superman at SFWoA.

How is 0G different from airtime? It certainly feels the same as airtime over a regular hill - only difference is that you're oriented face up or face down.

0Gs feel like a gentle floating sensation, you're just sort of suspended. That's not really airtime to me. I consider airtime the more violent flung from the seat into the lap bar feeling you get on Magnum and parts of the Blue Streak.

Positive G's are when you feel your body being pressed down into your seat for example, while neg G's are where you feel being lifted from your seat "air time". So 0 G's basically is weightless, that floating position between two directions of movement where speed meets gravity and descends in a vertical direction but during that transition you will achive a 0.

Cheers!

Whoa... scientific.
