They just said we could ride it before the park opens.

I drove by Cyclone on the way out yesterday and to me it looks like they are painting it multi-colored on the same section of track.

It may be primer, but I've never seen primer teal on one section and purple on the next.

Carowinds. I'm a rides supervisor.

Who does the testing? Carowinds or the construction company?

[jordN1414]

B&M does the testing... And im assuming this is a new train because they are going through the same testing they did with the first run.

I'm pretty sure the park oversees the testing and may have an B&M official "oversee" some of the cycles. That is what they did on Dominator. Otherwise, rides maintenence oversees all ride testing operations. Then before the park opens for the season, the ride operators are handed over the rides and operate them a certain amount of times to certify them for seasonal operation.

When I was following diamondback KI Central said B&M does all the testing until they get runs they are satisfied.

Hmm, they must have known you were coming to spy on them, and decided to play with mind.

WOW I cant believe intimidator had its first run last week (I know I am a little late), havent checked the sites for a few days. I wish I coulda been up there to see it go, I thought for sure with the weather they may wait, guess not. Anyone know if they are testing everyday now or how often? I want to go up there ans get some video and pictures, plus I can take my daughter to the plaza fiesta playground thing (perfect excuse to see intimidator). 45 more days and we will all be riding the best coaster in the park....

Obviously they are testing train #1 very often... Dani reports on Facebook that train #1 has completed over 100 laps now.
