Iron Gwazi (General Discussion)

[WillQ92]

They had been doing ride system tests for weeks, so the quick turnaround doesn't surprise me. Just bolstered the structure while waiting on the complicated crossover area in the drop/stall area.

This SOB hauls the mail, that's for sure. Cannot wait :drool:

It's crazy to think about how this thing is going to get faster as the wheels wear in and the weather gets even hotter.

They're not going to announce an opening date for this thing until a week before, aren't they?

At this rate, it will be opening next week anyway.

that would be perfect, I'm probably going next Friday. Thanks BGT

I wonder if they just said "what the heck" and sent one off?

No way, they likely had the final pieces late or knew a delivery day and then worked on electrical systems till then. There's way way more to a coaster than put the pieces together.

Hopefully they get some downtime before they have to go work on Jersey Devil. Cheers to 'em.

Got excite for a sec, thought it was a real POV. Its just the same No Limits sim that's been around.

 

[Scott W.]

Is there any chance that Busch will sell RMC merchandise?

 

[WillQ92]

We'll definitely have a real POV soon. They had a camera on the train for the test runs. Noticed it in the promo video they released.

 

[Magic-Man]

The saga of "holy poop, that was fast!" continues, as there was test riders today.

They needed a home run here and it looks like they got it. One little gripe as I am feeling that way - it took long enough!

On the lift hill, between the bottom and the drop, there is only 2 supports. That's wild.
