Webcam is Back Up

Maverick webcam is back up.

Sweet.

They're still testing until the new track gets there or something?

Sweet. The pond looks great all filled back in. I was wondering if they were going to fill it or just wait until they could fix the track. That area should look really good on opening day.

I think it was mentioned in another thread that they might still be training workers.

Now that the webcam is back up and they are testing I resumed capturing images. They were testing all day today. You can see many people gathered around the bridge to watch. I also updated the slideshow files. There are many shots with 2 trains that don't exactly match up, but it's close enough.

Do you guys think its going to be an earlier opening then we expected?!

^ No. I think it is HIGHLY unlikely that Maverick will open in May, likely that it will open in early June, and possible that it will open in late June or early July.

I was in the park watching it test today, got some videos that I would post but I want to ask Walt first. I don't think he will have a problem, its just the area over the pond the the heartline.

You would think running it while the park is open gives people the idea the ride will be open to the public sometime during the day.

Except the whole sign in front of he entrance saying that it'll be open sometime in early June kind of changes their thoughts pretty quickly.

^^ It only gives naive people that idea.

I don't think so. When I was in Universal Orlando shortly after it opened the Jaws ride was not slated to open until later that summer. Signs & everything. Yet later that afternoon Jaws opened for 4 or 5 'test' runs. People could think things changed and they are running it. It will cause some people to spend a half hour outside waiting until someone tells them otherwise. *** Edited 5/15/2007 3:00:29 AM UTC by Coastern3rd***

Quoted for reiteration.

If there's no employee standing at the entrance to the queue, the ride isn't opening. If there IS an employee standing at the entrance, they'll tell you it isn't opening. So, either way, it aint opening. :)

Loopy you are so elite I can't stand it.

Good, then leave.

Hahahahahaha... So sorry I ruined your day by posting on your forum.

Oh yeah.. It's not your forum. *** Edited 5/15/2007 2:01:53 PM UTC by Coastern3rd***
