Of course they're playing with the MCBR speeds, it's the testing phase... It's not that much slower lol.

Uhm this image is freaking beautiful.

I actually like the netting on the track - makes the track look a little bit like it has fins!

Maybe the splashdown was cancelled because they don't have enough water because they give it all to the whales. #FreeTheWhales

Bro do you even measure CFUs, MCLs, NTUs, and EPA?

Discovery Cove and Aquatica did some no-no's around 2014 lol. According to their little report, they like to violate their effluent limits for copper, chlorine, pH (usually barely too alkaline) and animal waste (fecal coliforms means poo poo bacteria, E coli, etc). Chlorine and fecal coliforms are the animals and water rides/water park, but the copper is interesting because they must have some serious infrastructure issues with copper piping they need to address, or the wastewater is corrosive.

https://echo.epa.gov/detailed-facility- ... 0035660834
http://epa-sites.findthedata.com/l/6026 ... d-aquatica

Please be aware that what I linked to is only for a wastewater pipe that discharges into the nearby creek. All companies that discharge waste are required to have a permit and limitations are placed on the quantities they can discharge of given substances. The Seaworld amusement park itself and the waterpark have no recent violations. That being said, if you want some Shamu poo-poo, hit up that creek next to the park.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're more concerned about one of the fun brain-eating amoeba's that tend to occupy stagnant ponds, and may have been found near the park (completely out of their control).

Then it's really odd to me that they could expel "2,147,483,650%" (I added commas for effect) of their copper quota, so that's probably a wandering decimal mistake.

----------------------

To contrast this, SFMM was fined roughly $200,000 dollars over the past several years because apparently they also have chlorine and copper issues in their effluent wastewater discharges.
https://echo.epa.gov/detailed-facility- ... 0001169173

Busch Gardens Tampa apparently dumps too much total nitrogen:
https://echo.epa.gov/detailed-facility- ... 0002558562

Cedar Point was in non-compliance with air emissions (Clean Air Act violations) in 2014 curiously enough. Ohio's EPA databases are ass unlike California and Florida so it's a pain to see what exactly they did.

Knott's Berry Farm and SFGAm passed.

And because Mikey is alive SFOT and SFFT are not monitored, but surrounding businesses mysteriously are. Hooray red states!


If you guys get bored make sure you read what the actual violation is, because 90% of the time it's submitting a report late or something stupid.

There's a small chance I was being facetious

It is fairly disappointing to contrast initial test runs with now. I knew this coaster had potential from the outset, but it seems much of that will be trimmed away. Even still it may end up a cut above most B&M hypers.

Also it's hilarious to read the first few pages of this thread.

IMO, even when trimmed, it still looks like it's a lot more forceful than the vast majority of B&M mega coasters. Also that airtime hill right before the hammerhead turn looks really good.
