Wow, I still haven't been able to see the video due to the exceeding bandwith. Oh well, maybe tommorow.

You know, you should check your bandwidth limit, it must be extremely small because it can't seem to handle too many visitors, your site was up this morning at 6:00, and then it went down in an hour?

Wow, thanks for the link -- that was cool to see. Is it just me, though, or when they were testing, did the train only shoot up the side of the track closest to the cam?

That's because it's a time lapse and the construction cam takes a picture every minute. It looks like It was full power testing because in one picture the train was halfway up the reverse tower. It's a good thing the camera caught the train while it was on the reverse tower and not the forward. It might not have been seen as easily on the forward tower.

Matt2003, The First site was just a free little site, but when it got posted on here there was no way any free site could handle that much.

You're Welcome Lee.

I just looked at the construction cam at about 1:30p today and the very first picture I see of WT is one where the train is more than halfway up the reverse spike. That was really great to see.

I just saw the train between the reverse spike and station but the pic refreshed and the trains in the station now(2:57). Not to change the subject but did anyone notice in the getaway guide or whatever it's called that the artest pic of WT the train is going the wrong way. It shows it going forward on the reverse tower. I know its just a drawing but just thought it was interesting

I saw WT Testing at low speed (i think it was low) today. It went up only halfway. I heard they are having problems (rumors nothing official) but in other news most of the coasters are cycling now. I know meanstreak,mantis,gemini,wildcat are. oh wellj ust some news

Along with a bunch of other rides.I was at CP today processing in and Yes WT is running but at low speed.As far as I know they have not done any normal speed testing yet but I did hear they were having some probs but this is not coming from a reliable source.

"HUZZAH!"

I doubt very much there are problems. If you've watched the video some people have compiled from the Web cam, I can almost assure you that they're running low speed tests then checking bolts after cycles (the reason that crane and basket have been moving about the structure).

Jeff...I talked to someone last night that's already up there, and he said they are indeed having a few problems with the lims right now...

I'm sure whatever it is will be fixed within the week though
