Official Testing Thread

Blue Streak was seen testing a while ago.

Someone saw Raptor a while ago too.

Top thrill Dragster is running right now.

Follow it, it could lead us to one that works.

Where's it going to go, every time it tries to go forward it rolls back.

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

Personaly, I have an image capture program running while I'm at work. I have been looking through the shots after I get home.

What program is that and how does it work. It soulds cool.

is it just me or does the cleveland cam not load up? I get a message saying the link is either not in use or outdated

A simple batch script that gets the image (its only a filename) from the CP site, appends a date to the end (using your system date) and then copy's that to some location on your harddrive.

I generally look at the cams when I get home from school once. Then I come back here after work and check out all of the links people post. I let you guys do the work!

I use SnagIt, Webcam Magic, and I'm also trying out a few others.

They were just Flusing one of the the Fire Hydrants on the Midway Cam.

There's your new water attraction for 2006. ;)

LOL!!! where's the line? I'll be there May 6th!

OnPoint has some pictures of TTD testing.

Yes!!! Awsome entry.

Wait!! OMG it's launching and it's not breaking down!! I think it just might be open for opening day. [sarcasm]Then again it probably won't last long seeing that the new parts wont work.[/sarcasm] :)

Sillyness aside, I can't wait for the Behind the Rides: Top Thrill Dragster!!

Here's a couple...

Nice job snagging the pictures right from the onpoint blog.

I bet that almost every ride will be running constantly this week. I think they have to put a certain number of hours (I forget the exact number) on them to get them state certified and with most rides getting a late start, they're really going to be pushing it. I know in the past some rides have gotten certified a day or two before the park opens. But the majority of them would have been certified by now. I wonder how last minute some of it is going to be this year. I hope they pull it off.! :)

Haha Matt... They might be having some third shift employees cycling trains. You are right though, they seem to be really running late...

But I will keep my mouth shut, because I know everyone on here will be apt to say that I don't know what Im talking about.

So be it...

I think I just saw DT running on Funcoast! ;)
