You've always been spot on Intricks, and yes, I am part of the facebook group, which has over 330 members and very dynamic discussions. With so many members, we also get picture updates very frequently as well. :angel:
Hahaha, that we do :3
I'm curious about your comment Intricks about Hershey not wanting the first drop to be seen at all? Since we know the angles of the hill, I would think it would build even more "buzz", showing it off. With all the work in addition to Skyrush Hershey is doing this year (new walkway, Comet painting, and SDL paint, brakes, trains, and chain lift), I just assumed Hershey was spending money on the more important items. Let's be honest, they didn't even use the correct colors (free) on the NL (No Limits) video.
Wasn't Comets station getting a rehab as well due to one of the supports being near/going through the station? While it would be more buzz, I have a VERY odd feeling (which Im going to think is true) that they decided to just go with a scaled model in the No Limits video for 2 reasons:
1) The render went WAY to slow for a greater part of the ride
2) The brake run was completely wrong and sitting on the ground (when the entire layout poster/pic shows two, downhill brakes and a MF turnaround into the holding brakes)
So based off of that, the whole first drop being shown on the POV portion would have given it away entirely for a scaled version. I could very well be wrong though
One final question Intricks since you mentioned Baco's vibration issues. Since we know Baco (Intamin) and X2 (S&S) have the same issue, do you think B&M solved the problem? With the rumored rides at DW and SFGAm, it will be interesting to see if the rides come to fruition.
As already has been mentioned, Raptor still vibrates, but apparently not Baco bad. The Swarm and Wild Eagle are probably going to use the year old data from Raptor and have the seats properly made to help reduce the vibration further since B&M tends to do things smart and in a timely (slow ass) manner.
And for the record, it's Tom :--D
:3 Tis Joe. Im going to guess Grady.
