I was at the staginf area for a little bit today and got a close up of the tarped off thing. Couldnt really make out what it is. But the area to the left of this picture (http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=4134) was filled with new supports. Some of them were very odd looking.

Hey TTD watch out for that cloud on TTD...

Nice drawing by the way you should do the character drawings at the point.

I am willing to say this ride may not be as tall as Milly, but I think it is gonna be longer.Anyone else think the same.

P.S. i would not be disappointed they put in a coaster between 250-300 feet.


Ride-on

And water will be involved.

Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch.. the 'tarped off thing' is nothing more than a rather large pallet of lumber. It was uncovered on my way to work yesterday.

AHHH! Not more fences! Was it plywood or more 2x4-like?

when I drove by the staging area today at about 2pm the tarp was still on. Is this a different tarped area or the same one that was uncovered yesterday and just recovered due to the impending weather?

was wondering was under their. I could see why they would tarp it after that rain they had.

We need some new arial pics.

No, we don't. They're not even done pouring footers yet.

I think we need new arial pics JUST

The blue tarp could be holding the station tracks that include the Lim launch pieces. If you ever been to PKI in Cincinnati, there's plenty of room to get a train going 60+ MPH in roughly 200 foot space similiar to Fligth of Fear, and CP's Wicked Twister is somewhat similar in lim launch.

It would be great to be launched into a wicked uphill climb that banks into a dive for the first hill. They have the space for it and the footers near MS somewhat might support this type of tracking. *** Edited 6/30/2006 2:27:04 PM UTC by MongooseOutlaw*** *** Edited 6/30/2006 2:58:58 PM UTC by MongooseOutlaw***

Sorry, MT should have been MS for MeanStreak.

Also, I know that WT is a LIM launch, that's why I compared it to flight of fear in Cincinnati, should have made the post more clear.. my bad.

no problem just trying help out before people bash you.

I know and I think you for that!!! :-)

Hey everyone, this is just a TAD off topic, but what does everyone think the old western style signs indicate about the ride?


Praying for a rollback...
