Testing Pictures

Does anyone have any pictures of roller coasters testing other than maXair.

If so, post them using www.imageshack.us or whatever other website you use.

Not really many coasters have been testing yet. I do have some of Gemini.

I've seen Blue Streak, Power Tower, maXair, Wicked Twister, Space Spiral, Giant Wheel all testing, but that's it. *** Edited 4/22/2005 8:10:33 AM UTC by Geewhzz***

You can see wicked twister testing in one of maxair pics on the construction pics on april 14.

Like this one: http://cedarpoint.com/_upload/images/galleries/images/maXair43.jpg

The best way to see test rides is the FunCoast webcam. You get to see several areas of the park and its not the pointless refresh pics that CP website has(its actual footage)

Just to let you know I saw people on MaXair today riding it.

Somehow I doubt... that's probably just the water dummies.

No, people really were testing MaXair today. *** Edited 4/22/2005 2:20:09 AM UTC by WaterDummy***

Actually, I think I saw people riding the other day.

^All I see are the people locking the restrants for a testrun. Maybe I'm missing something?

Media Day is in what, two weeks? The ride is done except for the landscaping. They've tested the ride for two weeks now. This isn't a roller coaster, testing doesn't take that long.

Those were probably the construction workers giving it a ride.

Or some of the cleaning crew there, maybe.

Iron Dragon was doing some testing earlier this week. And Funcoast isn't live footage. Its just a more frequently refreshed static cam. Cleveland.com has the only streaming video cam in the park (that I know of).

Funcoast is live, if you watch the second timer, sometimes is till go properly ex: 2:34:45, 2:34:46, ect, but sometimes it slows down and will go every 3, 4, 5, or even 6 seconds.

But it is not a true live streaming cam. It is a collection of static images that are taken 1 second apart instead of 1 minute apart.

What's the fascination with testing? The rides don't look any different!

I've wondered about the very same question. Every ride will be tested between now and May 7, in their due time.

As far as I know, they will test MaxAir until everything is fixed so it works perfectly. They don't run it for fun.

^^The fascination is that we haven't seen them like that in 6 months.

I saw someone testing the restroom by Matterhorn! They walked inside. I cannot wait! I've been waiting all winter to use that restroom! It ROX!!!!!!
