^ with a big wooden fan on it, it could take a strong wind and valley, then they would have to use the crane...

Because Im sure it'd be hard to slowly move an extremely heavy train down a 95 degree drop without one. Let alone then having to push the train back up hills. But why do you even need to move it slowly along the track. Couldn't you find the same information out with just running it? No. They have to inspect every inch of track for clearance issues. If the train comes back with a chunk out of the wood gone, how do you know where it happened?

^ I assume that they would watch it go through...and most likely it wouldnt continue on after the point of impact, that would take a lot of momentum away...and it would risk damage to the track and train.

^It would also risk damage to the support that was hit, which could in turn cause damage to the track the support is holding up, which in turn could push the rides' opening back weeks, possibly months. I'd rather them inspect EVERYTHING before I get those "bruises" at 50 mph, thank you very much

That's pretty cool. I didn't know that they shortened the trains on the pull through. Pretty cool stuff. I thank all of those construction workers for building that ride.

Here is what I said at TPR:
Personally, I think the gold train is UGLY.
However, the silver, iron, and copper trains look fricken SWEET!
O yea, and I love these shots too.

The only train I like is the iron one. I wish they had given it black seats though...

The trains look good. They're so short and cute looking.

Storm Runner's trains are still my favorite though. The colors go perfectly!
