When is this expected to open?

My guess is April.

Touring Central Florida have caught the lift hill chain testing!

 

[RollermanDan]

Food for thought:

Up to 50 additional RMC crew members just arrived / are in the process, Fred is on site, and the teams are conducting further tests....

:eat:

Ok unless I missed something the circuit still isn't complete, correct? I imagine they've started the wiring and ride control installation.

Correct, still not complete, but the wiring/RCS programming has been ongoing for several weeks now - they've been moving trains and doing brake/block/chain lift tests.

Interesting, I didn't even know they could start doing that sort of stuff without the track completed. I guess that means they're really trying to get this thing done ASAP.

From the video it looks like the chain isn't moving particularly fast. I wonder if that's actually the full speed or if it'll be more like what's on Mako.

So there's only two block sections (not counting the station) on this correct?

So theoretically they could move the car back and forth to test sensors and such

 

[Scott W.]

So close to track completion.

I like that they're doing theme tracks for each ride now

Tigris was a surprise having its own music

 

[Scott W.]

 

[GAcoaster]

I'm guessing that's the last remaining track section to place.

I think so. Testing soon hopefully.

That photo was taken earlier in the morning yesterday before they finished that segment I believe. Last pieces of the drop / layout are going in this morning.

@RollermanDan on the scene with great news:

 

[Magic-Man]

Testing is rumored to start today, and apparently they were wiping down the track. They have been testing the lift hill and brakes for weeks now, so it's possible.

Well well well, what do we have here?



EDIT: WE GOT VIDEO!

 

[Scott W.]

Looking very good.

The speed at which they have went from finishing the track to full on testing is insane. It's nice to see a ride I'm excited about having no real issues.

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