WOOHOO The first images of maXair being ridden LIVE!!! I dont' know if it was just a press thing but there was a strobe to dis-orient riders while they pases the loading dock. But either way, the ride looks massively powerful and....WOOO
Yeah the strobe thing could be cool and disorienting. I saw Dave Rexroth out of WXYZ Detroit Ch 7. news on it this morning at 5:30am. He was on it all by himself in the dark with strobes and everything. Looks cool.

That is hilarious. My daughter swore those flashes were cameras taking photo's like they do on the coasters.
I been on smaller rides like MaXair and they had Strobes but the rides I was on was nothing like Maxair you faced in not out and it was alot smaller so guess we are going to have to see if the strobes are there when you go.
Goodbye 2005 season!!!!

A little later on, he was riding it again, and he called it "Air Max". :)
The strobes are under the gundola and work the same way the strobes on Raptor do. Motion sets them off. They were pretty cool! :)
Actually the whole ride was pretty cool! :)

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that?
The "gundola"? Er, OK...
