Hey everyone,
I'll have you know the new coaster looks awesome and it opens March 15th along with the rest of Nick Universe!
I actually work across the street as a sales manager at
The Residence Inn - Bloomington.
Since March 15th is right around the time of spring break - we're going to be offering some awesome hotel deals in conjunction with the new Nick Universe opening!
Give us a call and ask for Emily @ 952-876-8802! I am here M-F from 8am - 5pm. You can also e-mail me at egoretsky@csmcorp.net. We have a complimentary shuttle to the mall - and I promise you, it will be an awesome spring break trip!!
I'm going to try to make it out for opening day if I'm not doing anything else, but I might just wait a little while to go, maybe find a weekday that works so the park's not too crowded.
Ahhh. I'm flying back from California through Minneapolis on the 13th Last time i had a long enough layover the take the train to MOA and enjoy some of the rides before having to head back. Least it will probably be open next time.
Here's a great set of pictures from Midwest Info Guide showing a lot of the theming that's been put up over the last week or so: http://www.midwestinfoguide.com/moa/
Both rides have been testing for the last week or so and we finally have videos of them. Spongebob looks a little slower than I had hoped but I know it will still be a great ride. That little hop after the loop should give some great ejector air.
Great videos; thanks for sharing! Both rides look like a lot of fun. I definitely like the looks of that airtime pop after the loop, as well as that last helix.
It looks like a great ride, I'm sure it will become a little faster as the rails and trains are broken in. The last helix is probably the part I like the best.
All mine, although some angles might be repeats. Sorry, I went crazy standing by this beautiful roller coaster. It truly is much bigger when you're by it.
Sorry for the angle, had to jump over Ghostbuster's queue
Work going on with the stuff on Avatar
Standing here was just mind-blowing
Youtube kills videos [:(] Here's the best that came from once very sharp footage
Nice pics, I have to agree with you about how crazy it is looking up at that drop. The whole ride is just so much bigger than I had imagined the Eurofighters to be, and I'm pretty sure this is the shortest one so far.
