I think they just plopped the old train bodies onto the new chassis.

I have added some "weight" to my NL2 train :

Rumour has it, that this is for the new Guardians of the Galaxy indoor roller coaster at Epcot, as it seems to all follow pretty closely to all included in this....THIS

The guy running that site doesn't know any more than any of us. It's been a rumour on a few Disney forums and he's just taken it and made it a news post.

Personally I can see it being true but don't take his article as 100% fact.

^Yeah. Screamscape claimed at the end of last year that GoG would be a Vekoma Spinner. I think what has happened here is, after mccr put online pictures of the spinning prototype they have jumped on the rumour. But it still is that: just a rumour.
Sure until recently Disney fans were convinced that the F.L.Y. prototype was for GoG (even after Phantasialand announced it).

However though I think this has a chance of being true. Will be interesting to see it develop.
Do we know yet if the spinning on this is controlled (like Time Traveller) or free spinning (like Mauer spinners)?

Today i got 1115 unique visitors on my website (between 10:25 am and 7:45 pm (local Europe time)), it blew my socks off.

Images from today (close-ups) :

Just after taking the pictures, they putting the orange tarp over the coach.

 

[MrRC]

Testing has started, i noticed the coaches where 180 degrees on the chassis.(train was not covered with the orange tarp)
Its exactly 365 days between now and the old test for F.L.Y.

 

[GuyWithAStick]

**** me, has it been a year already?

 

[MrRC]

Yes thats right, i was 1 week off, its April 19th. Time goes fast.

 

[MrRC]

Here the latest pictures, situation from 12 April and on, they do testing, sometimes coaches 180 degr on chassis, sometimes covered, sometimes open.

If you look down a bit you can usually see whether there's already a topic for something already.

I couldnt find it, maybe because its so unknown....
I searched for guardians of the galaxy.

What we're all dying to know is whether or not all that concrete can be poured at once or if it needs to be done in different layers. Would they have saved money by doing it slowly? I'm looking forward to the 20 post discussion :-b
