^^ Cap just depends on what your looking for. At $300 your on the border of a really nice point and shoot or at the bottom barrel of a DSLR used. Start a thread and we can go into more detail :thumbs:

Is there any chance that WWoHP might level-up their beverages with alcoholic Butterbeer come phaseII?

That would be great :happy: I have wanted to try mixing in some muscled but never think about it ahead of time and buying a shot at the park turns it into a really expensive drink lol

Well its been a day or two since Ive read so I had to catch up! Well I was at Uni today and have heard an...interesting....thing...

Well I got to walk on the london waterfront today and yes....it was gorgeous!!! So incredible, the Gringotts building hasnt changed from Bob's pictures. When I rode DC I made an effort to look around the HE construction site and the only thing I saw worth noting was that it seemed they had a square chunk of land dug out, fenced, and steel poles rising out of it maybe 10 feet. It was in the middle of the ride so I didnt get too much of a good look but could be the possible starting structure of the building itself.

Now for the interesting thing Ive heard...

HE is said to move by way of a pulley suspended system. The suspended part has me racking my brain as to how they would hide that from the guests but who knows, my source is very trustworthy but also that these trains will indeed go to and from in without turning and the mid-way track to separate each train. If you have questions I would much rather you PM me, granted I will only answer to some, not that I dont trust you guys I just dont want to affect this person in any way if something...strange happens. Transformers update in its rightful spot

Then I'm assuming this is what it was for! I dont exactly know where the building will be placed but this was located next to the LAST Zero G roll of the Fire dragon, and it was about that size if not bigger!

If the station is going to be elevated (im assuming so) then I would bank on it, I only saw one square footing and the construction was a dead zone all day. Multiple dozers, few supplies, and no workers, crane was inactive for the 7 or 8 hours we were roaming

When I was searching all the various local news outlets for aerial coverage they only focused on the Transformers site for the most part as to not confuse viewers of the ride's location.

It's not B&M. They do not push the envelope. They tend to stick with what works and let other companies take risks with new technologies. B&M seem like the least likely manufacturer

Well yesterday my "source" said that they were hoping for B&M but that it was likely Premier, I misunderstood

I think B&M would not work for an indoor rollercoaster considering how much noise they make, even with sound-deafening material filling the tracks. Plus the big boxy track doesn't lend itself well to tight spaces that are derived from an indoor setting.

1st I agree that I don't think B&M will make the coaster.

I disagree with the part of your post that says "considering how much noise they make, even with sound-deafening material filling the tracks".

Talon and Hydra at Dorney Park make almost no noise. Talon sounds crazy cause all you hear while on the ride is the rattle of the train. It is VERY quite.

Again NO B&M for other reasons.

New Notice of Commencement today from Uni and Nassal for Wall Layout and Installation. Not sure if it's for Potter, but figured I'd pass it on.
