[Brian G.]

New here, please be gentle.
Was curious about this rides' projected people-moving numbers (folks per hour, etc.), if anyone knows. Sorry, I haven't read all pages here.
Thanks! & I've really enjoyed checking out this site. Great pictures too!

Officially, nothing has been released.

Actually, #666 was in answer to a different thread, so no need to get me that ticket. You can just get me ice cream cake instead. :

I was at Universal last night and they tested this a few times yesterday. They ran one car the length of the track at 9:00 AM. At about 8:30 PM the cars started running again. At about 8:45 they were running two cars, each with Rockit' crew on them, and then the cars stopped. One on the first block brake and the other towards CityWalk. I know that this probably happens all of the time but I thnk that this may have been an evacuation drill. I think this because the crew not riding was already wearing their gear to evacuate the riders and that once the park closed when we walked out towards the citywalk car the person evacuating the crew undid the restraints and then once finished he put them all back down and started again.

Wow this really is a breathtaking coaster!

 

[tiredoldspook]

Well if it is not open by HHN at least they can turn the lights on it. It does look really good at night.

 

[Brian G.]

Well I just left Universal and we didn't see any trains testing. Maybe tonight on my way home from work they will have it running.

So I agree that the ravine won't be cemented but instead allow to grow vines and such:

Like the Dueling Dragon's exit exampled here:

Brandonr over at IOACentral posted this pic from this evening. ROTFLMAO:

Oh, man, you beat me to it.

 

[Buzz Killington]

Apparently the Tornado does not appreciate being made light of. Disneyhead, I expect we'll be seeing that trailer park installed in an adjacent location soon!

 

[Jakemeister]

You just can't help but laugh....

This coaster has to be cursed.

 

[SpyderDan]

This coaster has to be cursed.

Not a surprise.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

That's such a shame. I feel bad :/

 

[ralphoutloud]

Thank god only the banner was hit. Next time when the tornado rolls through, we may not have the banner to sacrifice itself.

 

[YETI PINTRADER]

Next time the tornado comes it is going straight for Sinbad because it was forced to sit through the show once.

If only they had put the loop banner up first
