Mine just crashed again...

Over 1500 viewers now - mine just came back up.

It's crashing. Crap.

LOL @ the enthusiast quotes now being played

The stream is live...

Almost 1200 viewers. I hope the servers hold.

Yep, I'm on it. 740 right now.

Yeah, I get that Hulk is their only launched coaster, and that just uses tires provided by a contractor. But at some point, they had a first hyper, a first inverted, a first wing. They have to start somewhere and HW is looking to make a bold statement. I guess anything is possible at this point.

I'm going with the world's longest B&M flyer (beating out Tatsu) with some sort of splashdown. I would gladly substitute a launched flyer instead of the world's longest, though.

I read on another forum a prediction of the world's first launched flyer while still lying on your back. That would be a thrill.

No. They confiscated his camera and chest harness and allowed him to finish the ride.

I think I'm the same way - this is a much bigger deal for HW than Banshee is/was for KI.

B&M launched wing or flyer seem to be the popular vote right now. Very anxious.

So what I've read in several places is that the new coaster is going to "fly" over The Voyage. I didn't know this..

I guess I'm going to be suckered in and say this thing is a B&M Wing Coaster based on the clues. Who knows. Longest in the world, perhaps, with a splashdown utilizing Pilgrim's Plunge/Giraffica's area?

It was definitely this. My work laptop only had IE11 for a browser. Chrome seems to work.

I can state definitively that ride ops WILL climb the lift hill if necessary at KI. We were at the park a few weeks ago when someone had a camera out. After ignoring the PA, a ride op climbed up quite a few stairs to get to us. We had just started our ascent, but we were definitely 20-25% up the lift hill.

I like the way you think. That would be a perfect spot.

I hardly believe demolishing Shake, Rattle and Roll would lead to public outcry. Most people forget that it's even there. It's no Flying Eagles or anything..

Dismantled doesn't always mean demolished. I just helped dismantle an elementary school playground last week. It can still be put back together

It looks like it's done, period. It appears to be completely dismantled.
