^ Yep, that would definitely go along with the western theme back there in Frontier Town.

The whole noose thing and all.

:)

Yea, a definite perk in the ride...the theming is already there!!!

I don't think it's always quite as much of an art as it seems. Some are done with extreme precision, but others aren't. Look at the footers around the Millennium Force station for the transfer track and brake run (I looked for a good picture but couldn't find one that shows it very well), and you'll notice that they supports aren't perfectly in the center of the footer. Some are much closer to the edge on one side than they are on the other; They're clearly not centered at all. Now, granted, I'm not saying this is always true, or anything like that; it might only be Millennium, that's the only place I've really ever noticed it, but it does show that the footers aren't always, necessarily down to a perfect science.

That is because MF is sinking, didn't you get the email?

WoW, I can tell by the footers its gonna be a inverted-standup-floorless, with 16 inversions.. GO CP GO!!!!

I can already feel it ouch. I sure hope its not that.

Could this be where the station is going? http://www.pointbuzz.com/gallery.aspx?i=4078

It is like the MF station pic below in that it has small square footers right by larger footers. Just a thought.

Well that IS what I've been discussing in other threads, so that idea has my vote. ;)

Yeah the whole noose came too mind glad you got on that. Can you imagine.

"Maverick riders how was your ride......Ah ok, Next riders we are gonna take you up an unbelievable 500ft, and drop you straight down, and flip you 16 times, over a 3 mile track Enjoy!!!!"

something like that.

At 500 ft, I'm sure the coaster would be moving really fast for it to have inversions in it. You'd probably just have airtime hills, and a bunch of overbank turns.

Not if they were really huge inversions. Heartline rolls or inline twists would also not be affected by speed.

You forgot the part of going to Canada and back!:)

For this ride im really expecting to see something like Colossus at Thorpe Park. If you look at pictures http://www.rcdb.com/ig1412.htm you can really see some things that look really similar, especially the way that the footers are paired through alot of parts of the ride. I think CP could put together something amazing that could break the inversion record along with having a ride thats 300' tall with Millenium Force speeds. A couple Zero-g rolls in a row at 100 mph could be something spectacular, alot like coming down dragster is. Other inversions could be done easily at high speeds as long as they were done big enough to even out the forces. What would you think of a 200'+ tall Loop or Cobra Roll?

I don't think the area is big enought to pull off something quite like that. Especially with the footers aligned in tight elements.

Aren't they supposed to announce the new ride in August??

Any updated pics from this weekend?

Ok , I am not gonna start a new thread, but I am ready for my update for June 26th. If anyone has any new pics please send them to Walt. So we can get our 2 footers have been poured FIX. Thanks

What are talking about there rippin? They had to fix two footers?

I think he means "fix" as in "helping," "serving" or something to tide him over.

ok thats cool!

Today i was taking my stepson to work and there was 2 trucks unloading track. Sorry no pics. And while i was leaving there was what appeard to be another truck heading that way.
