Seeing how close the station is to the watch tower element, it's quite possible the line for X-Flight goes through the bottom of it like seen in the map picture.

[CstrFan512]

Or even the hangar.

[KyleK414]

It is going to. The concept art is pretty spot on with everything. And with the "release" of the map, only cements those concepts. I think that the map has to put the queue just on the outside to show where it will be for non coaster nerds like us lol. We pretty much got it all figured out now haha.

^Yeah, if you read through the beginning of this topic, this was discussed.

[sfgam#1]

Nevermind.....Anyway how much of the station do you think is done?

[Sporlo]

A bunch. Just wait till they move the camera then ask again.

SO NERVOUS about the mix of dates on opening... Do they want it ready for opening day or May 12? Just sucks cause the only day I can go before leave for the summer is May 5th, opening day. sucks for me that is. haha The park writes on their FB "be the first to ride....may 12th" then on the website it says its just an ERT event. Ill stick through with my faith that shell be ready for us all to ride opening day!!

Strata-

the ERT is at 9 am to 10 am, then the general public will be able to ride it.

My prediction is that the ride will be ready to go opening day, BUT, they will not run it so the ERT event is more "exclusive" for Xtreme pass holders.

But if you can hold on to the 12th, you can definitively ride it.

They moved the webcam! Now we can see the station, and they've been doing some good work on it! And the transfer track is up!

Six Flags replied to my post on their FB page stating they moved the camera to the left. I'll check it out now! Thanks Six Flags!

[Galvan]

Actually, they moved it after my request on Friday...

You're Welcome

There's rumors of a 72 inch height limit.. which would be 6'0...

[DejaVu2001]

^ I can't imagine B&M designing a ride with such a low maximum height restriction. Six feet is not that tall. Hell, I'm 5' 11". That would be way too low of a limit. Combine that with the numerous reports of extremely short seatbelts, there's going to be lots of people getting rejected.

[RagingBull144]

U think that will be a problem because m 6'0

[ttd rox]

That can't be true. 6'3 or 6'4 I can maybe see but not 6 feet.

[rct2wizard360]

No way there would be a 72" height limit.

If there were clearance issues, I'd imagine it'd be closer to Vu's height limit which was... 80" I believe?

[DejaVu2001]

^ Deja Vu was 76 inches like King Chaos and Revolution. Vertical Velocity is 80 inches.

[Chitown]

I researched and found that Raptor at Gardaland has a max height of 195 cm which converts to 76.8 inches. I would assume X-Flight will have the same requirements.

Another Wild Eagle test run, this time with basically a bird's eye view.

[Iron Wolf 90-11]

Can somebody post a picture of construction after the webcam was moved?

[DejaVu2001]

[Iron Wolf 90-11]

Thanks, DejaVu 2001. Do u think like in the middle of the picture bottom that thats on the roof of the old raceway garage?

[DejaVu2001]

^ No, that is one of the storage tracks. The raceway garage is not in the picture.

[icantwaittilxflight]

Thanks, DejaVu 2001. Do u think like in the middle of the picture bottom that thats on the roof of the old raceway garage?

Like DejaVu said, thats for storage. That strange looking piece is where the extra train is housed. Have you ever seen on bull when you're exiting the extra train in the back? Thats what the piece is for. The middle piece pictured is the transfer track which moves back and forth.
