Maybe it was over there before, but the transfer is over by the storage and someon is standing at the bottom of the lift.. They walked up it earlier and under the station. Wonder if they are checking sensors... :crazy:

And where did this 11 am thing come from?

Didn't the 11AM thing come from the parks twitter?
EDIT: That is for the media event, so I don't know where y'all got that time from for the testing.


I was wondering that too. Only one person was broadcasting that day and time on various sites. Last official word we heard was Mike saying it may happen sometime next week, (now this week).

I think tarheel was the one who came up with this. I'm not sure why people gave a 13 year old so much credit. :lol:

This is my first year with a season pass...and I don't have any idea how many passholders there are...so...am I wrong in guessing that the passholder preview night will be pretty great in terms of line shortness?

Top Thrill Dragster hits the brakes at well over 100mph and 'valleys' pretty regularly. Of course, in it's case it is called a roll-back. It's not about how fast the train is usually going at the end of the course that is important, it's how slow it is going at the tops of the hills.

How the fu...how can a coaster with no valleys, valley!!!! :wtf:

TTD does have one valley, but the retractable brakes on the launch side were designed to keep the train from reaching it in case of a rollback. If a full circuit ride has a hill, it must have a valley.
