Brilliant! I'll be making the shirt at Person-ali-tees next year for Wormy.

As I said on another board, I don't really get the worries over the trims. I've been on Goliath when it trimmed hard and I didn't feel like it ruined the ride experience. I'm assuming that B&M trims it for the optimal speed for the rest of the ride. Can you imagine going over that last "hill" too fast? :shock:

Even with our trim joking our state of conversation is on a different level than the aforementioned site. Hopefully we won't ever stoop that low here - things stay pretty on track and positive.

This made me laugh. I think that fact that your cranes have a parking lot to maneuver around in speeds up construction considerably. All KD has for a construction site is a 'bowl of pudding.'

Trims aren't too back. The worst trim on any coaster would have to be the one on Loch Ness Monster right before the first loop. Otherwise, trims are tolerable.

And, at the rate Intrimadator, just kidding, is 'flying up' track work could be done within a fortnight!

The bandwidth cost on an HD webcam wouldn't be pretty. With the frequency that people check that cam on some days, HD would be bad news. Not to mention how slow it would refresh on your end.

HD webcams also can only really exist on systems with faster connections than USB 2.0, making it very unlikely that the park even has the hardware to support the connection.
