I was wondering how long it would take them to do this.
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I was looking at the third webcam on CP site and wanted to ask someone if that is a train on the left of the screen. It looks like the red train with the color yellow OTSR. Can someone confirm this for me. It's hard to see, but it looks like it to me.
Ask not what you can do for a coaster, but what a coaster can do for you.
Yes, that is a train. They mentioned in their blog a few weeks ago that they were going to begin "pull through" testing and I'm assuming that's what is going on. Here is the blog link:
Here's something I never got: They did the same pull through on MF with the wooden thing (Check rcdb for a photo) and yet you could still whack a support with your hand in one of the overbanks, right?
What happened there?
Hobbes: "What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?" Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."
You have to be leaning out pretty far to hit the support on MF. I would think the wooden thing is mainly meant to simulate "normal" hand raising on a ride and not the aforementioned leaning. (speaking from wisdom learned the hard way)

Mutedarkness, it's definitely not a watercoaster, but I don't think this coaster is for CP - they're just putting it there temporarily to throw us off. They'll move it eventually...
If you hit your hand on a MF support, then you either must be really tall, or really stretching the means of the 'norm, and only have yourself to blame. It'd be about the same as trying to reach under the train & feeling the steel tubular track, accidentally having the train roll over your fingers... owch.
