Maverick Trains

Interesting. I didn't know the stats had changed from what was originally announced. I'm hoping that it changed prior to it opening in 89.

So Magnum wasn't sinking all of this time, it was growing?

Must be that high water table.

I seem to remember it being 205 back in '89, but my memory can be fuzzy sometimes.

Jeff, one day Magnum hopes to grow up to be Millennium. ;)

I also noticed the "rust" track color and thought it was a bit funny. Maybe someone is bit color blind. ;)

I wonder what they will do with capacity, being there are only 12 passengers per train.

Well, its posted as 1200 pph. Reality is probably closer to 1000, which I think is right about where TTD hits.

How about its first drop? 201 feet? 198 feet? 194 feet 8 inches?

3 feet.

Are the OTSR's like clicking down (like raptor) or do they come down like millnium where they are hydralic or somthing.

I'll let you know on May 6, 2007.

Ill be there on Media Day as well

Aren't you special.

The harnesses on Intamin trains are hydraulic, just like their lapbars.

Yeah, like LustyLil said, the OTSRs are hydraulic if they're like Kingda Ka.

Yes they are individual hydraulic locking. Having been on Storm Runner, I distinctly remembering there being no clicking.

hydralic

After all these years we still can't spell "hydraulic" correctly?

Ah, well. At least you got "millennium" right.

We should start working on "pneumatic" next.

hidrawlick, newmatic

I have yet to see what speed the trains will be launched up the lift hill. Does anyone know or have an idea?

A guess: 6705 mm/s

^^ With my awesome math skills and stopwatch skills, I estimate it will be "launched" at 20 mph. I timed an animation and using trig guesstimated the length of track on the lift hill. Then i just divided length by time and converted it to mph (it only took like 30 seconds to calculate).

WOW were getting to 11th grade math now! just kidding i took me awhile to understand trig. i still get messed up!
