Can someone summarize what he says for those that can't listen?

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Well he tells more about firechaser express and the ride concept. highlights from the ride:

[*]You will launch frontwards and return to the station backwards
[*]3 train operation on the ride
[*]there IS an event building
[*]6 moments of airtime
[*]ride is themed to the older "fire trains"
[*]more details will be released in October, as its fire prevention month as well so he said things will happen with fire fighters at the park... not really sure what?

Those are the major things I remember from it, I would have to listen again to get more. He did talk more about the resort as well and the major thing to note on that is that they are starting with 20acres and will have I believe 80 more to expand onto.... There were more details released about the resort on the announcement day, so I dont think there was anything new that he went over, just listed what the resort will have and yes it WILL be opened 365 days a year....

Anyone else that listened, please add to what I have stated and correct me if I messed anything up

To add a little more based on what Pete said as well as what I've seen...

Launch forward out of the station at 16-ish mph passing into a helix or two. (Track just outside the station changes to receive backwards train coming back to station.)
Lift hill along the hillside across from River Battle to 120 foot above the station.
Series of hills and helixes before entering the show building.
While in show building track changes outside to a different route.
Launch backward out of the show building at 39-ish mph into airtime hills, more helixes before heading back into station backwards.

The trick track portion (whatever section it is located in) will be as you are passing through a burning/burned down house or forest (can't remember which one right now).

Lift hill along the hillside across from River Battle to 120 foot above the station.

Ah, so there is the missing piece. I figured there had to be a lift in there somewhere. So this is actually a pretty large and very interesting sounding ride. Seems like it will be a great addition.

[Jarsh]

It's larger than I expected. Supposedly it goes from the area across from River Battle all the way down to the Adventure Mountain site and backs up to the railroad track at the top of the hill.

Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that the train will pass through one of the existing Adventure Mountain towers during it's backward trip.

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Thanks Jarsh! Is the second launch really 39mph? I thought it was 16 and 20, but I do know the top speed was 30 something hahahah. I did forget all about the lift hill It does seem interesting and its hard to kind of picture exactly how this layout will be.... at least for me at this moment.... I do like that there is an event building. I wish it would be like Verbolten and have a SPECIAL surprise hahahaha, absolutely my favorite element on a roller coaster that I have ridden.... Either way, this coaster sounds better than it did at first, just because the new details were released. Cant wait to find out more about it later on and I am sure construction pictures will start popping up like crazy....

[Jarsh]

Bah! You're right, lol. 39mph is the top speed.

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Should be a very fun ride for only 39mph for sure!

[Jarsh]

It's funny that the only launched coaster in the region hits a top speed of 20mph... LOL!

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Oh well! At least we got a launch wwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee.... wait.... is busch gardens not in the southeast region.....

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Ah just found the list of the parks for the SE... hahahah.... my bad

[chknwing]

anything is better than Blazing Fury

[Jonathan]

Ouch. <3 Blazing Fury. It will be a sad day when it goes.

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

hahahah. I dont think i ever got to ride blazing fury when it had a water splash... I dont think.... I remember at Thrills In the hills a few years ago we almost got stuck on it...

I guess the layout will answer this but how it the hell are they gonna have a three train set up? Unless you're waiting outside the station on a block brake for the other train to leave the station, i cant imagine how this will work from my little brain (not saying its impossible or they screwed up just dont see from my prospective how it will work). For some reason im thinking flying backwards thru the station a la shuttle loops but i maybe wrong...

Wait...so the station, lift, backwards launch are blocks? Am I missing another?
