Project 2007 Blog Update

Gomez's avatar

Number 1 and 2 are the only ones that any of us can say for sure.

#3 - The twisted track does look like it could be for a twist, but I've seen noninversion rides twist a lot without ever going completely up-side down.

#4 - While water being involved seems right, there's still nothing that shows any truth to it.

#5 - HA, we have 20 sections of track and no supports and you're calling it the longest. MF is the sixth longest coaster in the world, that could be the reason for so much track. It also has a huge footprint.

Thank you for keeping us updated.

I totally agree! You are putting 2 and 2 together correctly imo. I will be interesting just how high this bad boy turns out.

geewhzz, I'd LOVE to know the exact same thing. They've been putting it off for too long!! And CP_bound, why would T&T wait for it to breakdown? They should know by now it obviously wont breakdown.;) Seriously though, wouldnt they do it in the moring anyway, like how they did the Millennium Force addition? I figure they would.:)

The only thing that I can say about #5 is look at the staging area and look at how much staging area Milli took up... I am just saying that this one is going to be a doozy compared to TTD and WT.

What does MF's staging area have anything to do with this ride's. MF was stored in the Soak City lot, Project 2007's area was just a field at that time or a construction site, I'm not sure when the building of Breakers Express was started. TTD took up a rather large portion of the parking lot while it was being built as well. There's nothing telling me this is going to be long. At this point it looks like the longest ride with no supports.

Gomez is right, the track in the field has nothing to do with it being big. It's there because they normally use the parking lots for storage or parts, but with the peak season not even here, they need the parking spaces for cars.

I am just saying that look at the size of area they have blocked off for track at breakers... That looks like the size of a parking lot that held millis track.. I might be wrong and proabbly am but I think this one is going to be longer then dragster and wt but maybe not as long as milli ??

I remember going to the old Towne Club (not faygo, just reminiscing) bottling plant to drop off the old bottles and get full ones. I think the place is closed now, but it was still fun to do.

mmmmmm...Towne Club.

You're letting them get into your head! You have the right to form your own opinion. The area that is fenced off is large, I agree. Who knows, they might even need to use a larger area as pieces come in. Only Time will tell. Be strong, don't cave.


Ahhhhh C.P. My Happy Place!

I may be in the minority here, but I don't think water will be involved in any way with this ride, other than it going over the old Swan Boats pond.

Combining the existance of the staging area with what has been done in the past, I'll try and predict how the arrival of the rest of the pieces will unfold. **Gasp!** (Using logic AND speculation in the same post, I know, it was hard for me when I thought of it too)

[instructional aside]
In case some of you are interested in this newfangled technique and care to try your hand at it (take notes if you must), I'll explain to you how to go about it. First, I will be applying current knowns about the given situation, with previous knowns from a similar situation to figure out future unknowns.
[/instructional aside]

With the introduction of the staging area off point this year, we can come up with two possible conclusions about why it is there. Now obviously they don't want to take away parking spots in Soak City's parking lot before the season's peak by keeping track and supports there, but what about towards the end of the summer? I wonder if the staging area will go away in late August or if it will remain there through the winter. If it stays there, and they fill it to capacity, any other pieces will then be stored in the Soak City parking lot. This scenario would suggest a very long ride, because we've seen how much room they are willing to quarantine off when they did so when they stored MF's pieces there.

However, if they remove the fence and transport all the pieces currently there to the peninsula, I doubt the ride would be comparable in length to MF.

With this said, I do foresee them needing to keep the staging area around far into HalloWeekends. Although, I doubt we will see supports show up until late July to early August.

Its a very safe bet that the pieces will stay there until they are needed. Its cumbersome, dangerous and expensive to move the pieces multiple times.


Brandon

Yes, the track will definitly stay there until needed. However, when Soak City closes, there will be no reason why they could not have two (2) staging areas (one for track, one for supports).

That seems like it could work because there is no way that all the track and supports will fit in that one fenced off area.


New Season of 'The Office'. TONIGHT!!!

April 3rd, 2006.

Quote Tony & Tyler from OnPoint!

And since we were already trying to find out the answers, why not let our guests in on the fun as well?

But why ruin it and tell you everything at once?

Are they even going to tell us anything? Besides what we already know? Maybe they think we already know too much. I think it´s about time they gave us some crispy hints to chew on before the announcement :)

Why? You want 5 new threads to spawn each dissecting a different word in the blog?

They could say anything and we would believe it. But I'm good with any information that they give us. We definatly need some new info to go on. Is it August yet?

Well, I think I can seperate the BS from the real teases. I just think it´s about time they gave us a tease (after what they said in the quote). I like the hints & clues, and I know a lot of stupid threads follows with them, but there´s also a lot of well thought-out theories. ;)

I find T&T's P2007-related blogs to be patronizing.

Cant we just count the pieces and add up the "length" so far?

What is it? About a quarter mile long?

Right.
