So by the weekend you expect 2 inverted drops, 1 dive loop, 2 lift hills and a bunny hop. I don't think so to be honest...DeeJayUK wrote: I think we will have a full circuit rollercoaster by the weekend! I really hope we do anyway!

Anything I should be looking out for?

The inverting segments of the drops have already been built. The dive loop is going up as we speak. The bunny hops won't take long. And....the lift hills have been lost.118hazaman wrote:So by the weekend you expect 2 inverted drops, 1 dive loop, 2 lift hills and a bunny hop.

I really don't think the circuit will be completed this weekend. Maybe next....maybe.

Why wouldn't they be? They are the local crane company after all! Strange I was talking to one of there drivers last week.mattallennet wrote: Funny to see Steve Foster cranes working on this, I remember seeing a Steve Foster crane working on Oblivion 16 years ago (1997 season!).
The track won't be finished by the weekend as Gertlauster will go home for Easter I would assume (they are human after all).
And I drive around by AT all of the time and haven't seen any lift hills in any fields that I can assure you, why would they be? There are plenty of storage yards in the area you know, its not the 3rd world around here.
I WILL be back

The hype on this coast is unreal, I think everyone is glad this has come out, and I can't wait to ride it in July. SOMEONE TELL ME THE SECRET ELEMENT, I can't handle it anymore!rhino18 wrote: ^Same. When AT anounced a Gersty would be making it, I wasn't best pleased. This, however, I wasn't expecting. This may be AT's most anticipated coaster since Oblivion, perhaps.

I could tell you but then I'm afraid you would have to be terminated so you I guess you would rather wait until June.118hazaman wrote:The hype on this coast is unreal, I think everyone is glad this has come out, and I can't wait to ride it in July.

I am waiting till may, as soon as a POV comes out on YouTube, I am watching it. Cannot wait, I hope they show the element off in all of its glory, like on TV or something similarThe Terminator wrote:I could tell you but then I'm afraid you would have to be terminated so you I guess you would rather wait until June.118hazaman wrote:The hype on this coast is unreal, I think everyone is glad this has come out, and I can't wait to ride it in July.
