it might just be the angle though

btw, anyone want to hear something lame, KD had a "Crane Naming Contest" lol they named the cranes "Talladega & Daytona"

Yes they did. It was for a prize pack that one of the moderators on kdfansite won.

Go back and look at the cam again...My explaination was kinda on point...

[chknwing]

yeah I see what you mean now. Man 2 pieces of track up in an hour and just brought another piece on site, these guys are flying today

[dailyshow]

If I may transition over to KD for a hot second...

So yeah...this is pretty much ridiculous

Wadda ugly coaster...

[Capler]

It may be ugly but it is damn scary looking. Ours look rather friendly and inviting but that monster is rather menacing. I just hope it runs without a lot of problems. That will be one I'll do on a Sunday so I won't have to wait all day for a ride.

The KD Intimidator certainly looks scarier by nearly every count imaginable, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be the better overall experience.... especially not when they have to shut it down and add more supports. /intaminrimshot

I think it's awesome to get two amazing coasters so close by in the same year.

KD's fits in with all the rest of their ugly coasters. But it should be an awesome ride. Almost as high as their tower!!

Now, back to OUR coaster...... (but thanks for that menacing look at KD's)

Has anyone else noticed that the 2nd drop looks to be a bit steeper than the "ramp" portrayed in the drawings? It may be the way the cameras are angled but it looks a lot better from what I am seeing on the cams.

Doesn't look like the rain is slowing them down any. Lot's of action still going on.

So much for the "they don't work in the rain" seeing how they are. They wear harnesses for a reason.

I also noticed that the 2nd hill isn't looking as "rampy" as the animation. Should be an amazing pull down the backside of that hill as you're realigning with the camelback.

[chknwing]

rampy?

[jasonwilson88]

"Rampy" - a made up word (as evidenced by my quotation marks) describing something that functions/looks like a ramp. The animation does not depict that 2nd hill as a drop, but more of a ramp leading down to the ground.

That was really hard to figure out. /s

[chknwing]

no it wasn't hard to figure out, just why you thought it looked that way in the video.
