Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Testing has started and there has been footage of the train testing! That thing is flying over the first and second hills!
Here is the link to the video...

That looks good so far, it'll be nice to see how fast it's going through the turns and low hills. Hopefully someone can get a better video of it.

The two hills we saw may be floater hills but all of the transitions and hills that were not in view will most definitely have ejector airtime.

There's no way the two hills we saw are going to be floater air. I'm thinking it's gonig to be around -.6 or -.7.

^At most, for the second. The first may look fast but it is really stretched out. It looks like only a bit more than floater. And you wont feel it with the type of restraints they have.

I'm starting to get really stoked for this thing! I just happen to be going to Virginia for opening day so I'll be sure to let everyone know how it is.

I wouldn't worry about it...consider that rides always look much much slower from far away, this is one of the first test runs, it was raining, and all you could see were the slowest parts of the ride. I guarantee you it'll look and be blazing at opening when you can walk right up to the ride.

I sort of liked the noise of the train running, though. You can never get enough of that good ol' inta-noise!

True the sound of a rollercoaster roaring through the coarse is always great.

Good, so they won't conform to your shoulders meaning you'll be able to feel the airtime a bit more.

Gouldy is correct.

On subject, i do in fact like those restraints, one of the reasons being on Stealth, hitting the air hill as amazing, lifts you and slams your shoulders against them fxcking hard. Makes the air feel so much more powerful, gouldy will back me up in saying it leaves bruises on your shoulders, and that is a good thing! The vulnerabilty is only decreased slightly, i bet you can barely notice they are there. Stop being so ungreatful!
