SDC's 2013 Project

I have a question.
Having now seen the layout (I know, I know, I googled it. I HAD to.) I was wondering how the train will go back under it. The way it looks to me, it would have to go under the second barrel roll. But...haven't those already been constructed?

* Spoilers:

Since the train track is going through a curve at that point, the train track will probably cross under the coaster track at the end of the where the coaster track ends it's curve back towards the station. There will be good visuals of the rolls, but the train won't be going under them.

Dang, it's going to be a long 8 days with us trying to talk about this without throwing spoilers out there.

Okay, that makes sense. I wondered if the train track was curving at that point. It has been too long since I have gone to the park and actually ridden the train for me to understand where the big banner was actually at.

EDIT: Oops. I just realized I just facilitated a means by which people can view this.

Ummm... I'll just say, then, that I have seen the layout without meaning to.

I just saw the leaked layout, and while not the longest coaster by any means I think the length looks perfect. We'll call this the "Batman-The Ride" of woodies Seriously, I appreciate that there doesn't appear to be one inch of dead space. If this were going to be a more traditional wooden coaster, I'd want it to be longer. Since this is clearly not traditional by any means, I'm fine with the shorter but VERY sweet footprint!

Very happy for SDC, and if this ride is as smooth as Texas Giant, it's going to be a huge hit with everyone!
Could you please shoot me that site via PM

thanks

Me as well.....

I don't think this is a spoiler, but be warned just in case.

What is "high speed low float"? Is that a fast and low negative-G drop?

I assumed it's simply a fancy description for an airtime element that's close to the ground.

Well I am bummed for you guys that some one went and ruined Christmas - just be thankful they didn't ruin all of the surprises that the park has in store for the 9th.

MissinTheGreenTrams · July 31, 2012, 10:59:23 PM

What kind of surprises does the park have?? Past experiance??

I was the kid who was always a notorious snoop before Christmas. This time, I had to snoop in Italian.

I doubt anyone saw anything they weren't either looking for, or aching to know.

^^Swoosh, Interested to hear what your impressions of the ride are at this point.

Hmm, sounds like the park has started to contact sites about the issue and is getting people to take down the images. They won't get all of them, but they probably want to keep it as contained as possible for the GP's sake. Unfortunately, the GP isn't as shielded from the enthusiast world as they once were. Earlier today someone posted a link to this very thread on SDC's facebook and we got a big spike in traffic, and people have been posting the layout all over tumblr and faceboook as well.

I don't know what we can do about it, but do what you can to keep it on the down-low as much as possible I guess. I don't know what that means at this point either. I hope we weren't the source of the "outbreak" as it were, I don't see where else the link was posted originally. We'll probably have to make some formal rules about this for the future.

As a relatively new member to these boards long time fan of SDC I admire you guys for trying to keep the integrity of this project and the park by not posting the layout. I'm a member of a Disney world fan site that would've been all over this and posting it everywhere

You'll have to wait until the 9th, sorry. Like I said, there are more surprises in store, you will just have to be patient and wait like the park wanted you to in the first place. I'm sorry, I'd love to spill the beans but I'm not the one footing the 10 mil dollar bill for this thing so I don't feel like I have the right... that and the fact that I have been sworn to secrecy -- well that is if I want to go see this thing up close on the 9th (and boy do I) -- honestly I am having trouble deciding if I am more excited to go to Disneyland on Friday to check out Carsland or getting to go on site to see this ride. Man, first world problems are tough.
