Just a reminder to people if you wanna ask any questions about the ride, you are welcome to on our live podcast (tonight at 9:00 PM EST on amusementradio.com) during our Q&A/Interview with Danielle Swords. Or feel free to drop in and either leave a comment in the chat room or call in and voice your opinion on the ride. We'd (patchman and I) love to see you guys there.

Also you can be pretty garunteed if the video doesn't show trims, the ride won't have trims, Badnitrus is good about showing if it will or not.

^^ I wouldn't be so sure about that. While he usually does include trims in his videos, he also usually includes almost all of the rides in the background, and as someone pointed out already, Afterburn, Rocket Power, and probably others are missing in ours.

While I would love for our hyper to be trimless, I find it much much more likely that Badnitrus got a little rushed with all the work he had this year OR he was given an incomplete copy of a design that didn't show them.

B&M seems to believe they serve a good purpose, and the general public generally doesn't understand/notice them (with a few exceptions like Raging Bull's buzzkill), so it's unlikely they would just stop including them in their designs all of a sudden.

I Had a dream that paramount bought back the park and did some major themeing to the new coaster. Then I woke and said glad that was a dream.

waste of a post...

But anyway

yeah I have a question...why 232ft? Not to be asking for taller but is there something significant about 232ft or did they wanna shut people up about the supposed 230ft height restriction of B&M.

Also to end another question...is vortex getting repainted lol...

Did Badnitrus do the I305 video as well? It seems to me that our coaster's video had a higher pixel count and more ride detail than KD's. That might account for the reason he didn't spend as much time on the other rides. Plus, he probably just rendered NightHawk and Skytower in there for perspective.

After I got off work (at the park) yesterday I walked around in the heat for a bit and saw they have put up two very nice framed banners with the coaster layout and stats on the fence now.

These were getting a lot more attention from the gp than the big box.

Better yet, why didn't they make the drop 218ft as opposed to 211ft. Anyone see the 2.18 significance?
