Official Testing Thread

Watching the fun coast cam and I saw the train go by Mean Streak.. Puffing white smoke moving from left to right on the perimiter.

Why would Mean Streak "puff white smoke"?

MrScott

Maybe the trims are off. ;)

I believe he means the train that goes around the park. Not the train that is on the mean streak.

I wonder if they are breaking in Judy K. after her recent refurbishment.

I said the train not a train.

Gotcha.

DBCP, were they complete circuits?

Yes. Here's another photo from today:

No MF yet?

I wish I could sit somewhere and watch cams all day. :(

It loos like there still working on MF so I guess it wont be testing very soon.

They're already checking to track on the first drop, which means it could test any second. Besides, the earliest I've heard of any coaster testing is the Saturday before Opening Day. We're not going to have to wait much longer before we see all 16 coasters run.

Since we're seeing MS running...have they done anything at all to the ride? Just curious if there are attempted little tweaks here and there, or if it will just open "as is" again.

Great pics! I still havent been lucky enough to catch SH running on Cam

I could have sworn I saw a train on the MF island over banked turn on a Cleveland cam pic while I was scanning through the archive looking for Dragster test runs.....but it might have just been me.

So no raptor? no Mantis? no Gemini? no MF No blue streak? Ahhhhh!!! Get your butts movin', CP!

Gemini was testing yesterday.
