Testing at SFGAm

On Rob's site he has construction pics for Deja Vu and V2. He said when he took one of his pictures, he saw Raging Bull being tested. I read this in the beginning of April. I can't beleive they were already testing it a month before opening day. Does anyone know why it takes a month to test a roller coaster that is already made?

AMERICAN EAGLE!! (RED TRAIN)BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were at SFGAm two weeks ago to get our season passes processed and they had Iron Wolf and B:TR going. An employee told us that is for testing and also training for new ride ops.

I was there... I think it was Saturday the 7th, and I saw Raging Bull and American Eagle testing. I bet they did that to wow those who decided to come in, and not strictly as a test measure.

Also, on another note, there were some workers replacing some steel on Shockwave's drop... Are they shopping it off? Hmm....

It's coming...

I surely hope so. . .Shockwave (and all its clones) and Iron Wolf are my two least favrotie coasters ANYWHERE. Getting rid of those two headache-inducers would be heaven! Hell, I'd give a million to remove the first bolt on each!

It doesn't necessarily take a month, but it you find a problem it sure helps to have a month to get parts and fix it before the people start showing up expecting to ride.

You are crazy!!! Those are not bad rides and they are both classics!!! IW is B+M's first standup and their first ever coaster. Shockwave was the first with seven inversions and it was the tallest for a while. I would be soo mad if theytook down either of them!!!
