Here is what Steve said at the WWU when I asked him this: "Well, right now we're saying no. But we might go back and do it, It depends. We'll have to see how it works out."

I love that feature on the Incredible Hulk at IOA when you go under the bridge...

Will you be going about 70 MPH when you do so?

I thought at WWU that Mike Fehnel had answered to a question on the tour that the initial model's glass sides for the Fury bridge would not be done... that the sides would all just be railing/fence...

Sure looks like the two opposite sections directly over the track that haven't had rail installed yet will be glassed... and that is a glass truck with very thick plate glass... :)

Just throwing this out there since most of you will be attending media day as a representative of ACE.

Be sure to read our Media Event Guidelines for some info on what is expected from you at the event.

http://acesoutheast.org/ace/policies/me ... uidelines/

While not all of these guidelines will apply in every media event, these are more or less a summary of all of the regional parks guidelines. If the park sends you a confirmation email with other information, their email will govern the rules of the event.

Regardless of what information you get from whomever, please take a moment to read over the guidelines on the page. There is some stuff related to what to wear, how to act if you are interviewed by media people, ride safety, etc.

I think in the WWU someone asked if there would be a glass floor.. and he said no because it would just be to much to clean and keep up with. but correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure thats what he said hope this clears it up :thumbup:

I'm the one that asked about the glass floor. And you are correct. The glass would just be too much to deal with. Then Mike went into explaining some of the differences between the animation and the real thing.

Is it really going to glow like that? if so its going to look awesome. Does anybody know if there will be like any buzzing noise effects during the ride? maybe on the lift or under the bridge?

possibly naturally


It'll be like Drop Tower.
Except on the ground in a tunnel. :lol:
I hope that there will be NO bees. I'm not a big fan of being stung. But if it happens, then it happens. I"ll still ride it.
