That video isn't even close to the blueprint layout, lol.

Yes, The park held an off season tour for Intimidator. We are working on one for the ACE event in September as well early next year. :)

Dang...I'm hating HHN opens the same weekend as C3. Can you guys push the date back a week??? :wave: p

Ok, so that video was cool but so far off the blueprints...but maybe the blueprints is a tease?

You all got it wrong.

They are naming the coaster Fury 325, then they are replacing and renaming the Haunt inside Hurler to Rougaou, next they are replacing the Drop Zone with a 350Ft model and calling it Centurion to stand guard over that area in which they will then name The Arena instead of Thrill Zone.

See, simple. :crazy:

I would be happy with if the coaster layout is like the one in that video link you posted. I love the looks of that! And it's not a quick ride either......It seemed to go on a while. That's a plus. I saw another one on youtube, but it seemed shorter and they said the stats were 300 feet tall and 4,890 feet of track of something like that, which I'm thinking is wrong. Then again, Carowinds B&M hyper is longer than the Intiman Giga and KD, so I guess the giga could be shorter? Who knows.

Nobody want a picture of the sheer terror in their faces. I want to be posing, giving a peace sign to the camera, with a 'I got this' smile on my face.

I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about construction but A) that area was dirt and now it appears they put down a layer of rocks before drilling any footers, not sure about the logic there and B) They have a massive pile of concrete in the background, why not just grind that up and use it?
