X-Flight new for 2012
^I'm sure they'll move it back eventually, I just want to see the finished product.

^ My point is despite them saying they'd make sure the camera was always focused on the work being done that day, that hasn't been the case. By the time they turned the camera over to the left, the transfer and storage tracks were already completely finished. They don't move the camera often enough to keep up. If they move it back to the station, there is a good chance we'll miss the track.
I'm really starting to get annoyed with everyone complaining about the position of the camera! There's no possible way to see everything on the site that is gong on. Just because it looks like they are doing nothing, doesn't mean that. Just be happy they even do that for us and be happy the coaster will be open in 2 months. the park doesn't have to provide a web cam, but they do it as courtesy for fans of the park.
^ thank you!
B&MGuy35 FTW!!!!!!!
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Dejavu i hope you're wrong about the 78 inches i am 87 inches (7 foot 3) and I honestly do not think there will be a height maximum if there is this will be the first ever B&M to have restrictions. If i can go on floorless coasters this should be no problem.
^ Raptor at Gardaland has a maximum height restriction of 76 inches (6 feet, 4 inches) and The Swarm at Thorpe Park is also approximately 76-77 inches. Wild Eagle is 78 inches. So unfortunately, it looks like you're out of luck for any Wing Coasters.
Electricity is so boring.
Admin note: please try to use proper grammar.
Dig trenches on both sides of the track, that will help a bit haha. Six Flags hasn't put up this restriction yet i still have hope! Admin note: please attempt to use proper grammar.
I just find this disappointing that a state of the art roller coaster has a height restriction it feels very discriminate towards tall people. Hopefully future B&M wings will be suitable for all heights 54" and above that is.
Admin note: please try to use proper grammar.
^I believe the video from NCC had them answering the question that there would most likely be the height maximum. If Raptor, The Swarm, and Wild Eagle will have it per B&M....I see no reason as to why GAm wouldn't follow in suit.
I think it has more to do with the restraints not being able to fit properly in the shoulder area (V2, Chaos, and Revolution have similar specifications) than having long limbs as a potential clearance issue.
You are joking, I hope. Unless you want to have your head, legs, and/or arms taken off during the ride, there will be a height limit. Batman, a B&M, has a maximum height limit due to its being inverted.
Batman doesnt have height limit... The reason why X Flight will have, it is becuase of the themeing elements. If you are tall .person you have long hands and legs and park doesnt want broken parts of the body. That is my guess.
Admin Note: you are using excellent grammar lol. Admin note: Jan is a smartass Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!
If the height limit is 78 inches, then it should be fine for me. But remember guys, the reason for the whole max height thing is so you don't lose a limb.

Damn bro, you have me by a foot in height. I don't know why this news is that disappointing to you since at your height, I am sure you can't fit on quite a few coasters. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
The park doesn't set any of its own height limits, they get them straight from the manufacturer. That being said if the other B&M wing coasters have it this one will probably have it as well.
-Remember there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
^Ace is right, and this will also only be the second coaster at SFGAm with a max height currently, the other being V2 at 80 inches. B&M decides the height limits, which is 54 inches min usually.

As far as I know, almost all B&M'as have a 52" height min. set by B&M. It's Six Flags that increases it to 54." I think their main reason for this, is that they want kids to be a year older and more mature. A little less of a day care in line.
^ It's not just Six Flags. I can only think of a handful of B&M's that have a 52 inch height restriction.
I'm kinda shocked no one has brought up the fact that the track will not be finished for awhile. They are just digging and pouring concrete for the final 2 footers today it appears. My guess is that they needed them to be done last so they would have access to the site that way. Also curious as to when they will start the train tracks and overall landscaping. I can't wait to see the site with planted trees and such.
The transfer track has moved!! We have power!!

It's been discussed.....it varies. It depends on cloud conditions, temperature, and winds. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
If you look closely, the camera moves left to right each time it refreshes. Is that the structure of DDD swaying slightly in the high winds today?

Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
We can only assume so, if it "strafes" it's the tower moving. But if the angle changes, it's the camera moving.
Admin edit: please use correct grammar. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
