If he is right, could this mean 4 across seating like Leviathan instead of V seating?


Yes, a month ago, Jarsh confirmed the Four Abreast Seating. The trains will not be like Intimidator. I also hope that there won't be any seat belts. *crosses fingers*

No no no...speculated! All jarsh has done in this thread is speculate! :clap: :wave:

Ooohhhh, that's right...
Also, speaking of the trains on the track. An hour ago, they were in storage and nowhere to be seen. (I've had the webcam up in a separate tab for an hour or so). Now I am sure that Timmy will be operating tomorrow.

I'm sure they could make a cycle around the track, but in the station, Intimidator's trains are longer and the restraint mechanisms that unlock and unlock the restraints are on every row in every car. Fury's 325's restraint mechanisms probably would not line up, and the air gates would not line up with the rows on F-325's train either.

So don't they do testing in the morning before operating? Will they be taken off again or will they remain on? And I'm confused, do they keep the trains on the track on the days they operate back to back? Or do they take them off every night?

During the season, they place the trains in storage overnight and test and inspect in the morning. During the off season, the trains are taken off of the track so stress will not be placed on the wheels all winter long.

Oh! I guess they must be doing something to them now because they have not moved for an hour. Does anybody here know what they do to inspect the trains? If you know, could you PM me? Anyways, I'm so glad I will have the opportunity of being there tomorrow! At least now I can participate with the construction thread and experience thread! I was 2 years too late on Intimidator's.

The better question is why would they want to?


Just a silly idea that occured to me so I figured I'd throw it out there.
