LOL I would pay a high dollar to ride it like that with all the brakes off and loaded down with water dummies.

I highly doubt the MCBR or trims are even activated at all on these initial runs just to ensure it makes it around. No way they will let it launch through the MCBR like that come opening day! Maybe the cam was deceiving but it was haullling.

The cam may decieve us but it cant decieve time. I clocked it based on the timer for the time on the cam and that thing was flying like a hell bat!

You have to remember it was empty too. It won't be so fast with an extra 2-3 tons on it.

Nothing to see right now it's still sitting in the block breaks.

Ya seriously. I didn't expect that at all. What I would give to be a water dummy on that train before they start regulating the block times/speeds!

It wasn't empty either. The seats were filled with heavy water dummies.

Not true on either point. Rides run faster with weight in them; more weight overcomes friction more. In this case, there are water dummies in the trains to weigh it down.

awe man carowinds6654, it was epic! You totally missed the highlight of 2010 and beyond...ah well too bad.

And lanigan...if it was heavier then it would be even MORE forceful and seemingly fast, why do you think they use water dummies and trains valey generally when they are empty...
