RE: Mäch Tower
I mean, it does something but it's the same exact thing that a flying carpet (DaVinci's Cradle) does- in fact, I think flying carpets do it better. Also, I prefer a 60ft S&S tower (like Holiday World's) to a 300ft Intamin tower (like King's Dominion's).

If you define thrill as "stomach ache," then yes, drop towers thrill me tremendously.

Well let's see: Ride time = 1:30, Loading Time/Exit Time = 1:00. 2:30 per ride, 32 riders per 2:30. That's 768 riders per hour. :S Yeesh, a lil low but actually I think no one will make this a huge deal, so I doubt it'll be a HUGE line, but 30 min max probs.

Erm...I'm going to VA in a week and I'm going to go to BGW sometime after next weekend, and I'm wondering...is all we're waiting on the training and are we pretty sure that it will open next weekend? Cause if not, can't wait till next year. (Also is there any chance it'll open on a weekday?)

RE: Mäch Tower
I fully intend on riding, I am just not making it a priority. Drop towers aren't my favorite type of rides anyway, and now I am really not that interested since I found out it was only dropping once. If I am going to wait that long in line I want more than just a quick up and down.

RE: Mäch Tower
Mach Tower HAS NOT been turned over to the Park as of yet. The manufacturer continues to do testing. So it looks like it will be awhile longer.

RE: Mäch Tower
Please post anything to prove this, or provide anything that will make me take that with less than a ton of bull.

RE: Mäch Tower
There's a few things wrong here.
1) I've heard from a few different people that the tower was signed over- this includes a few trusted sources.
2) Why would people be scheduled for training from last Monday to last Friday if the park didn't actually own the tower yet?
3) If it wasn't ready to be signed over, why did the president of SWP&E come up to Williamsburg to ride the thing?
My best guess is that something is wrong with the tower again and Moser was called back to the park to fix it.

Hey Applejack! Are you at all surprised by this sudden turn of events that could ultimately lead to Mach Tower being delayed, again?!

If they get this thing going before I leave for JMU, I will be absolutely shocked.

Also, Donnie Mills visited the park last Friday, but did not ride. He's in charge of both BG parks, WCUSA, Adventure Island, and Sesame Place.
I know that Moser technicians are still on site and can only hope that's why he thinks it hasn't been signed over yet.Swiftman said:

It's hopeless! Just tare the damn thing down! Put Der Katapult back in its place and give the scrap metal to Zierer to use for the 2012 coaster's track.
