"...and enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags"
So if the 100 times successfully is correct, they could have it up anyday is they get it to work, right? Doesn't take more than one day for 100 tests, does it?
Yeah it takes more then a day for a 100 test runs that are perfect, from the sounds of it they sre still working on different programs and gettiing them finished right now. So these may or may not count as test runs for it to get certified by the state.
I just got back 6/14 (gay day, wow, I should plan ahead next time) and I saw King Chaos move once. It moved back and up 90 degrees, and halted for about two minutes, then it came back down, and never moved for the rest of the day. So I have no clue what happened.

Gay day is on different days every year. When I went with my 8th grade class in 2002 it was on a Thursday June 12th, so you can't plan ahead, unless you have some inside info
 .
^ Last year I ended up there on that day, Didnt notice it until like, 11:30 and me and my friend all of the sudden were like.... :0
Lol, Was a little weird to say the least.
Yesterday the gondola motors started running and the dreaded noise is alot less than earlier.
I'm sure the noise will wear off soon.
My fiance said maybe new new bearings is what is causing the noise?? I have no clue what that means
Nevermind my post about there being no gondola motors. I was there on Sunday when they weren't running.
it will always make that noise, just how it works, however it will always be louder early in the day, and loudest early in the season from surface rust on the gondola brakes (there are no motors, action of the spin girders in conjunction with gravity produce the flips)
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 every ride will be different in how many times the gondola will flip upside down or turn and what not, since the op can't control that.
Interseting Fact for you (if you didn't know)
There is only one Huss Top Spin and Huss Enterprise going around in the carnival world because it is so huge and weighs a lot. The Huss Top Spin needs three trailers (most carnival rides only need one, sometimes two, one for ride, one for cars) and it's own generator. You can find this ride at Strate's carnival. Believe it or not the way that this carnival travels is by railroad. When I saw it testing on June 16, it only went upside once with no cannon blasters, it squeaks bad, and in my opinion I don't think that it looks that great. Maybe, when I ride it, I'll like it. We'll see.
Water dummies are gone, and regular ride ops were oping the ride when I saw it which was around 430...

I talked to the ride op. They are hopeing to have the ride open on saturday.
Which is highly possible. Most of the day they were testing it with just the ops at a constant rate. I'll post a trip report of the day later today.
Yeah I noticed that they were testing it all day too. It sounded a little better. I can't wait to go on it! Oh the anticipation.
I wanna go on that thing so bad.
We also talked to him and he said Saturday also.

The guy on the train told me it had 19 different programs, not sure if that's true or not...
I was looking at the pool of water by KC today and I noticed that it looks like there will indeed be water jets. I saw two little white things that looked like it.
There are 4 of them. They will have them running after they get the ride running regularly as they need to be adjusted.

I did see those jets too, but i wasn't sure that they are the water jets because I thought those were just going to be fountains, I hope they are the water jets
