Some of my tour pics http://www.flickr.com/photos/coaster_dude/?saved=1

More to come later, it says I can only upload 100MB



They are pretty standard to everyone else's anyway...

Just a question for all you guys that made it out there today (lucky you, some of us have to work on sat). I was looking through the pic's everyone posted and noticed, or can't see in the pictures. All the ride renderings had the chevy logo on the front of the trains, and the Intimidator logo on the front of the trains. Or have they just not put the decals on there yet cause they are still testing.

It was cool to see all the work that has been done and all the work that is still going on. The crews were hard at work today trying to get everything ready! I wish ACE would do more of these tours like off season type stuff...

Completely different experiences. Magnum is much more violent, with ejector airtime that really slams you up into the bar. I do like Magnum a lot, though. B&M hypers are much smoother and more graceful with longer sustained floater airtime, and the open air cars of course.

^ I agree with Jonathan, with the exception of Diamondback (which has trains like Intimidator). The lead car for some reason has the most pronounced ejector air I've ever experienced on a B&M hyper.

The rest of the train was just fun floater airtime.

On the old style trains (like Goliath SFOG), the best air is usually in the back. On the new spread out trains, it seems to be in the front.

Unless a new coaster is being built, no one usually shows up for these things...
