they have some snow!

^I'm glad I was in the UK when it snowed here, it was all gone by the time I got back too.

Lots of new pics on the VF website now, looks like the track is complete except for the rails at this point. That first drop looks so amazing now, and the whole ride looks much better than I would have expected from the animation.

What a beautiful track. I'll head my way out to ValleyFair for Renny's Grand Opening and get lots and lots of pics! Maybe an onride...

awesome! this ride looks insane! i hope i go somewhere near there near opening so i can get a ride or something...

If you're ever in the Shakopee area and decide to go to ValleyFair for the day or a few hours, Excalibur and Wild Thing are the only musts in the entire park. After Renegade opens, I'm sure it will be one too, but other than those three rides, there isn't a single roller coaster worth riding. After High Roller got trims, it became worthless, but it used to be one of the best...Anyway, also be sure to hit xTreme Swing and RipTide if you have time for flats. [;)]

the only thing i'm worried about is that its only 850 people an hour.

I don't think that will be much of a problem at Valleyfair, especially with it being in the back of the park. Steel Venom is in the very front and has a capacity of 950 per hour, and I've never waited more than 20-25 minutes for it.

Big update...

Renegade's trains are now on site and the steel tracking has been installed!

weeeeeeeeeeeee

Two more new shots: http://greatcoastersinterns.com/photos.php

As well known, Renegade's Grand Opening day is less than two weeks away! I'm going to head down to Valleyfair on the 13th (day after) to snag some pics and an onride.

I wouldn't reccomend taking a camera onboard unless you have permission from the park. It is against park rules and can get you kicked out or even banned.

That little turn snuck in there looks great Chris.

Yup. It'll be a new thing this year taking persistent photos of goings-on at Valleyfair, but I'll have to find ways to be allowed on with the machines.

This is looking so nice now, I'll be there on the 16th, hopefully it's up and running smoothly by then.

The GCI intern site has once again provided some new pictures. This time showing the trains being put on the track. Renegade is expected to begin testing soon.

If you look closely, you can see how they do not need to remove any upstop wheels to put the cars on the track.

Only a week left until Valleyfair opens! I'll whip down there for some pics, but I doubt that the ride will be running by then.

^Renegade's first test runs were today. You can't see much in the video, but I think it's still kinda interesting to see anyway.

Here are some better shots [:P]

Give it up now. You won't get it. You have to have something to give to the park. In our case, it's most likely going to be publicity and a good reputation. On-rides really don't give a good perception of the ride anyways unless they are mounted. I respect off-ride footage much more.

Good idea. Idea seems crazy so just give it up. But hey! Becoming a designer is my dream, but it's just out of this world. I'll give it up now as well! In fact, my entire life is just...meaningless.

Renegade in only six more days everyone! I can't wait to ride that baby...

[:X]

I won't actually take an onride video. Sorry to crush your fantasies of me dying a gory death, but I guess I just like getting on your nerves...

Whatever happened to me?
