Here is some food for thought. If you look at Talon, the inverted at Dorney Park, it's rails are filled with sand. It's just inside the main entrance and borders the waterpark.

I have every reason to believe Mike that there is sand in the rails. But maybe only on the areas crossing over the walkways near the entrance. Mike seemed to be more sure of himself than Steve on this one. Just my opinion.

Jay, did you find any sand on those bolts? :lol: How thick is that plate?

Ken I was thinking the same thing about sand only in areas but the more I think of it I really love the sound of our TG/AB but all I can think of is riding Fury 325 at night time with hardly any rail noise. Spooky.

Edited so I didn't have 3 one line posts.

Huh, imagine that! Thanks for being a gentleman, rather than pounding sand..

For those curious about Media Day - those who attended ACE Winter Warm-Up got an automatic invite, and that’s all we know for now.

Lots of trucks bringing in dirt or something this morning... must be different than all the dirt they already have :)

Being completely new to media days, I was wondering if we'd get to ride.
HOLY CRAP!!
It'll be hard for me to get to go, but I'm going to try my hardest.

Media Days often offer the chance to ride lots of times, but sometimes there are long delays between dispatches due to camera setups, adjusting, etc. Regardless, if you attend media day, you should be able to ride several times.

One of the trains is already here so this would be the second and third trains if that's what it is.
