X-Flight new for 2012
Dose anybody know where the on ride-camera is going to be placed? Like to where you can buy the picture of you after the ride.
Looking where the yellow looking building is toward the end of the vid, what is that footer for?
Candy: What you lookin' at?
Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama. Candy: Yeah, you see something you like? Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.
There's another footer parallel to it. I'm thinking it involves an entrance sign or prop of some sort. Maybe a vertical 'X' you walk underneath? EDIT: I forgot about the concept art I posted on the previous page. It's just a structure with an X-Flight sign you walk underneath with some spot lights shining down. Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)
Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
Different colored (well, blue and white) lighting programs on Tidal Wave - now that was nice themeing
HHmmmm.. I wonder what the control panel in the op's nest looks like? Maybe we can see a picture of it posted on Twitter?

^ No surprise, everything visible in the picture looks exactly the same as Wild Eagle's panel.
The ride is lookin so good! The trip report from Advocate Day was awesome
 As weird as this sounds, has anyone else noticed the "Cedar Fair" fencing around XFlight?  CF uses that fencing so much, Ive just never noticed it at any other park.
Wonder how long it will take SFGAm to switch out Consign's mushroom Green Enable buttons for guarded buttons. I know for Giant drop while not Consign it took them a whole season to switch em out, for Superman, I don't remember exactly, but it was less than a season.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
So how many people does it take to dispatch a train? Don't me I'm just curious. I think for Viper it takes 2? 1 person at the back of the station? Last time we were in the park last FF I tought I saw 2 there. Can it only take 1 person? I would imagine that for safety they have another dispatch button.

^ The only time one person can dispatch a coaster (except Spacely) is when maintenance is running it and has turned the key switch on the maintenance panel to Dispatch Enable Bypass (or Maintenance Bypass, wording varies from ride to ride). X-Flight will require a minimum of 5 ride-ops (1 operator and 4 platform TMs).
An "X" was just added to that black frame on the station below the lights.
Looking at the webcam...around the final helix the ground looks greener than before. Maybe they are doing sod nested of seeding it. I know someone had said before that they were gong to just seed it, but maybe not.
^ As far as I can tell, it looks like that is the grass under Demon. I can't see any new stuff yet.
There was no grass when I was there yesterday. It's the grass by Demon.
I'm surprised this wasn't done right away for X-Flight......but those will be short lived. Superman was converted in 2006 since that's when the park rolled out the red lock-out boxes on the dispatch buttons.
What happened to the X-Flight site? It's back to the original page with no webcam again.

Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
Record is 1994. 57 visits. I'm still bruised.
they added yellow to the sign on the station. Now the yellow on the support after the tower doesn't look as random because you can sense a theme.
Ok, thanks. They changed it back. They had the X-Flight photo at the bottom of the main page linked back to the old URL. It doesn't look like they are doing a whole bunch at the moment meaning they are working off view. I wonder how the hangar is coming along. Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3.

I got to drive by SF monday and yesterday.. didn't get to stop and take any pics but I did get to see the lift hill and stuff. . just makes me even more excited for Sept to get here
i just keep watching the vids over and over to keep me sane LOL
^ Sept?
September i'm not going to SF until Sept (abreviated)
The black train has been stuck on the lift for a few hours now. I wonder what they are doing.
Probably training staff in the situation that the train gets suck there.
