Maverick Trains

Good Grief - I first had that dream when I was about 7 or 8. Only had it three or four times total, but it just always stood out because it was exactly the same each time.

You're so cool!

Back at ya!

People who like rollercoasters frequently like building, or at least, viewing models of rollercoasters. And at the model scale, broccoli looks just like little trees.

Hence, Jugga has received a premonition. It must mean CP is going to tear out the Antique Cars with all those trees and put in another coaster for 2008!

The logic is inescapable.

Edited for quote problems.

Alright, I think the stun setting on your phaser is a little strong, and you've been using it on yourself just a little...too....much.

Have you thought about maybe NOT adding that LSD to your morning coffee?

Or ignoring the pixies behind your dresser?

Maybe, just maybe, you could tell those darn voices to shut up once in a while.

But me like the voices! The voices say they are my friends!

LMAO, you guys crack me up :)

I wish T&T would bring that photo of the whole train with logo and all... SOON... :)

Ensign: yea they can take out my log ride, but leave two antique cars?? What gives? ( yea yea I know, see debate on "why'd they axe the log ride". I'm getting to know Walt & Jeff ;)

Jugga: it used to be "the walking arm" for me. A dismembered body part from some old time black & white movie. I think I'd rather have the veggie chasing me!

Paradroid: Your signature...I still love hearing that; takes me right back to where I want to be...

It snowed!! I'm off to the slopes!

With some contributions to the right politicians they could declare Maverick an official historic structure. Now, just design trains like they did eighty years ago with bench seats and no restraints other than a rigid metal bar that you gripped. Better yet, each rider gets leather reins to hold and foot stirrups. Yee-hah indeed!

Mavericks trains are the same as Kingda Ka's trains, right? Just shorter?

^ Yes, except for the fact that they dont look the same and are different colors and the OTSR is slightly diffrent, so yes they are the same just kind of completly diffrent.

ha ha ha. Very funny! I was just saying that they look alike. I know that the colors are different!

Their designs are very different since it's a LSM train. Some differences are that the bumpers and ball pivots (that what I call them, I don't know what they're really called) are higher up that on normal coasters.

Ball pivots??

I'm guessing you mean the pivot joints that connect the cars together.

I'm not sure how Adam knows that, but it makes sense with all the tight curves on the ride.

Yeah, no offense Adam but that seems outside of your realm.

I thought thats what he ment but it could also be the ball joints on the axels if equiped.

Not sure if Intamin has joints on their axels, is Rideman around?

Outside my relm!? I may be young but I'm not stupid when it come to some technical things. I may not know terms or names and may not be able to go into great detail but I know what they are and how they work on a simple scale.

And Gomez got it, being that they're the joints that allow each car to pivot, pictured here on Dragster: http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=2147

I just noticed it from the train renderings. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Dragster420/train.jpg?t=1166672605
And I know a good deal (if not most) of Intamin models have this ball joint pivot technology.

Whoa calm down there killer, I was just kiddin' around. I got a little sauced last night and was feeling a little spunky sorry for any confusion.

This may be a little bit out of place at the moment, but by trick track I was referring to the area after the first drop where the track suddenly dips to the left and then again to the right. It may not be considered "trick track" but it was just a general reference that I made. If you want a perfect example of trick track look at the end of Storm Runner after the Snake Dive, and just before the final brakes.

The trick-track that is supose to be on Shivering Timbers, the reason why no one can see it is 1. Forest of wood 2. It's way in the back of the park where a field is. (Which is originally from when it was Deer Park.) The trick track on Mav I thought it was after the first turn and before the second. State me if I'm wrong, please.

Since when is there trick track on Maverick.

Oops. My bad. :-S
