Valravn Goes Vertical--Construction Starts

I smell testing

I did see what looked like torn up fresh dirt underneath the entire bottom of the first drop. Surprise last minute tunnel?

Lol then you both need to get your nose fixed

Tony Clark posted a picture today via Twitter of control booth not even hooked up yet I am no electrician but I am pretty sure that has to be up to code and be inspected before they even think about testing the actual ride let alone the controls on the control booth

And Tony often holds pictures for a week before he posts them ... sentence fragment?

^ Someone asked Tony about when the details of Coastermania would be available and he responded with the tweet you linked. "We're working as fast as we can to get them up."

On the same note if you refer to the on point blog back in 2013 gatekeepers trains got put on the track almost same exact time as Valravn. I think Valravn was a couple days earlier according to the blog and first test run wasn't til April 9th...I am not always right but I feel that is a good timeline to go by.

The pull through also counts as testing, and I don't think any electricity is needed for that.

Perchance a course redesign ala Maverick? Or maybe they are installing the splashdown and or tunnel and want to make it a surprise!

The park opens in a little over a month from now, they don't have time to redo the track now that it's all finished and the trains are on... do they?

Do they need to have low-zone fencing installed before they can test?

They are dumping and spreading top soil under Valravn. I wonder how many tons it will take.

What ever they are building under the dive loop looks like it is two stories.

Looks like they're carrying on the castle wall type spikes as seen on that structure by the dive to the curb around the helix

You mean they may actually be attempting theming? I think hell may have frozen over. But I think that may just be building materials on the top of the structure. I think it looks like it will be a viewing structure.

I highly doubt that a B&M ride would need a track modification like Maverick.


I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
