"Maverick" Construction - CP 2007

then why does the camera get wet...huh?! huh!? huh?! haha

^ well from the looks of it, it looks like the sprinklers could have gotten it. It also got partially wet from the mist. And then there is that big white blur exiting the tunnel. I'm sure they have some water effect there aswell, seeing as it doesn't appear to have a splash at the end. SO all wetness is induced by sprnklers or mist.

Also you know that there is no splash right at the end, because when it stops at the blocking brake, you can see the boat in front of you and you'll noticed that doesn't touched the water, and the track after the final drop is just as level as that piece of track so you know there was no incline, so you know there was no splash there. So there you go. Doesn't touch any water except for those sprinklers on some of the drops, the other water effects, and the mist.

It will be "off" the chain as well since it uses LIMs. <eye roll>

LSM, actually.

According to the webcam the lift is finished!

Yup, I saw them install the last bottom peice today. Was kind of interesting, I havent seen an actual track placing since...I think ever. Was kind of cool.

I wonder how many gallons of Draino that took!

so thats what they've been working on...I keep looking at the main construction cam and not seeing anything. Now that I have another viewpoint I can completely control the construction!![lol][sillyme]

jeez, they're really blasting through construction. The ride will be finished in no time. So then I imagine theming, and wiring will take up the rest of the time. Leaving about a month in a half, or more, for testing and figuring out the optimal way of running this thing.

Yea, the site says the construction will be done by december.

I wouldn't be surprised if the track is all up by Halloween.

I bet sooner...

Supposedly it takes time for them to calibrate the LSMs, so thats part of why its being built so quickly.

I've come to realize the tunnel launch may not be that grand. Mr. Freeze hits 70mph in 230ft give or take. This is going to hit 70 or so in 350-400. I realize all the tunnel may not be launch, but I don't think we're going to get much feeling out of it.

The element of surprise, especially if it is pitch black in there.

it'll be a little bit better then CA Screaming's launch, which imo is fun enough. [:)]
