Web Cam Activity and Testing..Oh My!


Earlier there was a line of 8 or 9 cement trucks waiting to get in from the Breakers cam. If you look at the Power Tower cam right now you can see the entire midway is being poured in front of the Corkskrew. This whole plaza is going to look great!

I'm guessing the turn-around to the station area. It looks like they are all lined up.
Does anybody think they'll be working tomorrow? I mean it is Easter Sunday, but they need to work pretty hard to get everything set for Media Day (May 1st).

BTW, the new midway is starting to look good. You're going to be able to walk up pretty close to the launch track!

Was out at Battery Park today, got to see some short shots. Train made it to the top then rolled back. Quite an interesting sight.

I was at the park on the causeway about 3 pm. Waited for a few minutes but saw no testing. :(

As I was looking at the PT cam you can tell that they have the fence up along the transfer track by the queue.

Be patient, they only started testing full curcuit today.

It was running full circuit yesterday. If you watched the webcam long enough (5 minutes or so) you would see evidence of it.

Just because nobody posted absolutely reliable, undisputeable, photographic proof doesn't mean it wasn't happening.

I just got home so could some one post a saved pic of the station lights that BeRTqUinnwas talking about? The link he posted shows the web cam right now and the lights aren't on.
Do you not see it....Big D wins the prize. The empolyees were right when they saw it from the park on Thursday. I have several friends who work at the park and they all saw it go over the top for the first time at about 5:40 pm on Thursday.

I've been following this site for some time, but all of the bickering for credit as to who gets the first "credit" for seeing the first train go over the top is driving me crazy. Big D wins.

There are no "kicker wheels" that far back. It would have also taken over 1 minute to roll a train that far back if there were indeed "kicker wheels" (AKA drive wheels) that far back.

I have a question. Is Jack Lewis just Big D’s second name he made on 4/20 to try and get “the prize” for seeing the first train go over the top? It is just very curious to me that “Jack Lewis” used his very first post at 4:37 am to MAKE SURE everyone knows that Big D has won the prize. I am probably wrong, but Big D just seems like the middle school kid “type” that would do this. He did seem to want the “win” in his earlier posts. We may never know. P.S. I know. I use “” too much.

Actually, I don't even know who Big D is. My point for the post was to mock the "bickering" and "attention getting" attitudes of people who "have" to be the first to get on line and tell everyone they were the first people to see Dragster go over the top.

I really appreciate this site, but I hate to surf through all of the "know it all opinions" just to get the real news.

Now that I think of it, the first person to see the train go over the top was probably the person pushing the launch button.

So, I guess we all loose.

Nobody wins when they see a roller coaster, he just ran to his computer before anybody else when he noticed what was happening. There was never a competetion to see who would watch the first train lanuch. He was just nice enough to tell everybody the good news...

WOWOWOW...WAAA???????

Dude, What the hell are you making stuff up about me??? Youy dont know Squat. I dont care about who "wins the prize" whats the difference?. I was just saying i thought my images setlled it already. Do i really care?..NO. Sheesh, We are still going to all see it run arent we?. Please Dont make up BS about me. Besides you had no evidence whatsoever to link me to jacklewis...I tried to look into his posts and see HOW you could have made that assumption. Please Coaster king, If you dont know something, Dont jump into conclusions.

Jack Lewis is right, The person who Pressed the launch button is the first person to see it go over.

Well you sure acted like you cared a couple days ago:

"I thought my images settled it already :\ ..guess thats not good enough for some people. Some people are just too skeptical."

To me that sounds like you cared!

DOG spelled backwards, is still mans' best friend!

Anyway, I dont really give a crap about whats been going on here. It seems to me even when i'm not here...somehow people find a way to get on my back. Oh well, I was happily riding roller coasters yesterday. So personally i dont care now...you guys can do whatever you want. Enjoy.

ITS time for the 2003 International Auto Show...See ya all around

JUST STOP BICKERING AT EACH OTHER!!!!!

A couple of my post have been deleted or taken of does anyone know why.
Is the TTD site not working for anybody else?
