I think they stopped for today. Dang I only got to see one and it was already on the helix. :x

 

[CMonster]

Argh, I can't see it, the page is asking for some username and password. :x

Carowinds updated their Facebook status to say they test ran three trains yesterday.

^ And they're running them again right now. I've been watching on webcam for a little bit. Good to see them getting all their cycles in.

 

[Hyde]

They're still running three trains. They were testing the blocking for a bit, bringing one train to a complete stop in the MCBR and letting it coast through to the brake run. They are just running normal cycles now with all three trains.

Here are some snapshots of all three trains.

I only see two because I'm blind like that.

Well the transfer track is out of shot, so obviously must be in the matinence shed.

I can see all 3 trains in all 3 shots

 

[Snoo]

1st shot = 2 trains.. I can't find the third on the whole course
2nd shot = 3 trains.. one going up the lift, one pulling into the station, and one on the brake run.
3rd shot = 2 trains.. I thought I saw three but I must be missing the last one on the course.

Stupid crap quality.

You only see two because of ****ty webcam quality.

Here you kids go.

30 second circuit? Weak.

 

[Hyde]

That can't be right, as in the YouTube video posted on the previous page, it shows the train taking at least a minute and 24 seconds to get from the top of the hill to the brake run.

Maybe there is a delay in the image refresh or something.

 

[Hyde]

^ We just oscillate between this and 305 pending on how exciting each construction is. :razz:

Sorry for spamming, but...

Apparently today was the ACE event for Intimidator and the new Planet Snoopy. I'll try and find pictures later.

I don't think this ride likes wind!

Ether that or its ment to be that slow...

 

[RCF]

^That is a little slow but I'm sure it'll do better when there's people riding it.


EDIT: Photos from the ACE event.

As the person who recorded this (me). It was running empty no water dummies. The other 2 trains had 1/3 full trains were going much faster over the hills.

Plus it's cold outside.. :lol:
