On another note....are those trims on the track right after the final piece? Sure looks like it! Feel free to discuss. :lol:


Who wants to slow down? We want the ride to keep going and going and going...

I think it would be awsome to have a coaster that would go on and on and use up 100% of it's kenetic energy and crest that final hill into the brake run at station speed. At 325 feet tall with the station at almost ground level, it would be one LOOOOOOONG coaster. (And one VERY expensive one too.) But it would be so fun.

That picture means a lot more than I think some people even notice. I don't know if you saw but the name "Max" was written to the left of Travis Mosley's name. Also the quote on the track, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end!" I truly think that Mosley did a great job on this coaster and I can't wait for 3/25 and on to get my first rides in on this world-record-breaking coaster!

Also note* Concrete has been poured around most of the restrooms! The front gate seems to be picking up a lot lately and I'm starting to have faith that it will be open for opening day!
