I had a really great time today at WWU. I'm working on the video (it's really long). I post when it's finished.

Edit. I am uploading each presentation as a separate video.

I can be happy with two shade structures in the que. Not the 4 in the concept art but at least we're getting two.

Thanks for taking and uploading the video. :thumbup:

I need a refresher on a couple of things.

I'm excited to see the theming in the queue, especially after seeing the theming in Twisted Timbers at KD.

For those that didn't attend the Winter Warm-Up or watch the video posted here, Steve Jackson gave the following timeline:

- First launch to be tested/calibrated this week.
- Second launch to be tested/calibrated afterward, taking about 3 days.
- Full cycle to be tested afterward.

As long as the weather holds out, they should definitely be ready for Season Pass night in 3+ weeks.

It'll always be Scooby Doo to me.

WOOO! I'm happy. The only thing i'm afraid of is a stall or a valley on that inverted tophat/cutback. the animation made it look so slow.

Its going to be interesting to see it from a complete stop going through the top hat etc. Of course its desigined this way, in case of a roll back and a reset, as Steve said they can reset and launch it from there on through. Can't wait to see it go on around and then a full 100% circuit
