They ran out of track to lift and move around... so they began playing with other pieces of equipment to amuse themselves...

Anyways the ride looks awesome, shame about the first drop though, looks kinda crappy

Drop isnt exactly its strongest point, but if people are going to ride and NAG about the drop the entire time after, they shouldnt be riding coasters. Especially ones that they, before they even get on, have all these preminitions and beliefs about.

That's the next generation B&M inverted trains... J/K...You gotta love Westcoaster and their one of a kind 'weirdness' with their updates. The first drop does look kinda shallow but I'm pretty sure that the rest of the ride's unique layout will make up for it.

Actually, theres 3 yellow. In one picture the last car is hidden behind the I Beams. So far it looks like first 5 cars are red, last 3 are yellow. Personally, I love the abstractness. Itll look sweet in the end. They know what its going to look like, we dont.

Wonder if anyone knows if the wheel covers have been installed yet? I know the second train is probably installed on the other transfer track as I speak...Even though I have seen a close-up pic on Westcoaster of the covers, still in wraps I can't make the color scheme out completely-but, from the looks of things, they look a little Raptor-ish by means of the design of the scheme; I'm pretty sure there's gotta be some silver integrated, as the name of the ride implies.

Still, the fact remains-I can't stand the suspense any longer!

...So how many more days until me and a friend go and film some SB footage? [:D] The lift is completely installed now, but I don't know how the well the electricals are going, though.

I was wrong, in one picture on westcoaster you can see that it fades from Red to Yellow. Which is SWEET. So it goes red, red-orange, orange, orange-yellow, yellow (not per car, but over the whole train) Its gonna look so friggen sweet once theres water under most of it...

Well, maybe if after this, Knott's can find room to install another woody and maybe a spinning wild mouse, and maybe it can beat Cedar Point in being the best theme park.

Those trains look AWESOME. The wheel covers don't exactly match the color of the train, but it looks very cool.

I just got back from Knotts and rode SB 4 times including once in the front. The front was really fun and the helix was pretty intense. I thought it was a pretty good ride but i really cant say since i havent been on that many coasters.
