The webcams are not working because of me!!! I opened about 21 tabs and selected the webcam so it says that it is full or something. Im am not closing them out either until I receive MONEY!!!

LOL

lol Jonathan I was just kidding. I don't want money.

Yeah no luck here either.

Also, looks like they are putting more and more trim breaks on there. Went by today and saw 2 very easily and they were installing something on the track down by Afterburn.

Are you talking about the trims already on the coaster, or 2 additional?

Just look at it trying to be all spirally.

[chargercrazy]

It has not succeeded, YET.

^^^Looking at the web cam, it seems to me either the next track is going to lay almost all the ground.....

Also, I ment to ask this question while back, but why did they put the MCBR so far at the end? I mean, if I was to design the ride, I would either but the MCBR near the middle of the coaster, or not have one at all....and just have 2 block sections after the brake run itself therefore we could still run (3) trains. Becuase, again, I just don't see having the MCBR where it's at only because its maybe within 5 seconds from hitting the Brake Run......Just my opinon...

They put it where they felt it would best speed up the operation of the ride. If they placed it in the middle of the ride it wouldn't efficiently operate 3 trains. Think of our helix like Magnum's run from brake run 1 to brake run 2, a relatively slow time waster that allows for the operation of 3 trains.

yeah, i'm wondering if they've made a mistake in the grading of the land...the curve of the track now just doesn't look like there's enough height to pull out of the helix at that angle...course it could just be an illusion from the placement of the camera

[coasterbruh]

Are you kidding lol...a mistake! This late in the game a mistake. I am quite sure there is plenty enough clearence to manuevure that spiraling helix or whatever they call it these days. I mean look at top gun west coast over water helix...it looks like you're gonna be surving from the eye view alone...

[splah]

well you might be right but the piece of track that was lying on the ground all day is a little suspicious for me...i did some rough estimates with relative dimensions and came up with at it's lowest point it's 8ft off the ground and the track itself is 4 feet tall...i'm just a little skeptical right now

Hello everybody I have been a fan of these forums for quite a long time now. I am glad to see everybody is so enthusiastic even over the off season. That being said, I assure all of you while the spiraling dive does come pretty close to the ground its not too close and yet not too far. During my meal breaks from work during SCarowinds I got a chance to be right up front where this element is and if you have ever been to Plaza 2 (those of you who went to CoasterStock should be familiar with that Plaza) there is a significant dip in the ground just even on the path much less where the construction is. They did do some grading done but unless if they changed something that I haven't seen them do, there is plenty of room above the ground. Main thing to realize is that yes the angle of the webcam and the obstacles in the way make it hard to see what is actually there rather than perceived.

Isnt the spiral element next to the season pass enrollment center?

[derek_lentz]

^You walk past the enrollment center towards the picnic areas. The train storage shed is located right next to the enrollment center.

If that were the case then it would be a hyper over the bridge...
