Project 2015: Tempesto

[Nicole]

Wyromena: Welcome to the Forum! Always happy to see new perspectives in our discussions.

Connor: Can I ask ho9w you got the access?

Connor: Can I ask how you got the access?

I'm not answering for Connor, but all those pictures seem to have been taken through and over construction fences and the like. I don't think he got priority access to the construction site.

Connor, it's a good thing your name isn't "Zachary," or you would probably be in Busch Gardens jail right now.

Fantastic pictures, though!

 

[Nicole]

I wasn't really thinking he got inside. I was wondering how they let him get those shots, given how strict they have been with everyone (not just Zachary).

 

[Mushroom]

I have taken many pictures from those same locations (Apollo's queue, chink in the fence by the arcade) and never gotten caught. I am legitimately wondering if they don't care about younger people taking pictures like they do adults.

This must be a job for... [deep announcer voice] Junior Fans!

Connor: Can I ask how you got the photos?

I actually didn't leave the public areas of the park at all, I just found angles of the ride. There's a slight gap in the fence and all I brought yesterday was my phone so I put my phone in the crack and took some photos. One employee walked up with a smile and said "Make sure to use #DareDevilsWanted!" I then took some photos from the locker area and in a two inch square hole in the fence after asking an employee at Apollos's Chariot. Then afterwards while going through the queue there were some maybe four inch gaps between the net and the stairs so I slid my phone and in there, again after asking permission. I did bring my school newspaper "Press Pass" so that might've helped. (I seriously am writing an article about Tempesto) Also, if the images need to be removed, I will gladly do so. I mean no harm and I did not break any rules nor trespass to get these photos. I'm just a huge fan of the park excited for Tempesto!

Ha, are you kidding? BGWFans loves controband images- especially fantastic ones like you've posted!

Thanks for capturing and sharing 'em!

Scored some nice pics of the coaster last Sunday.

- Photo booth looks great. I was afraid it would look bad like it did in the plans but IRL it looks pretty nice.
- I'm really digging the entrance sign.
- Queue house/queue line looks pretty short. Wouldn't surprise me if the line stretched past the plaza and into the Festa midway. Hope the park has an extension in mind for the really busy days.
- LOVE the train design.

This thing is comparatively loud. We were standing in France parking near the back exit and noted the roar of the train while barely hearing any noise from Apollo.

 

[Zachary]

A nice roar doesn't bother me to be honest- especially on that side of the park. I'm sure we'll hear about how it has been rattling teapots off tables and waking up the children of the people who live in Kingsmill next time Busch Gardens tries to build something though.

 

[Thomas]

Good thing they built it before telling Kingsmill...

 

[MAZ]

Maybe the truth behind its secrecy has finally been revealed...Kingsmill!

The park has released a new video of Tempesto testing.

gods they are late to the game.

I'm on it! (Y)

There's one woman who has commented on multiple people's posts on the Facebook post on the park's page saying the train does the ride again in reverse. That's not happening, is it? I thought it just ended by overshooting the station and coasting back in backwards.

 

[T Jefferson]

No. If that was true, they wouldn't be testing it like they are. They way it's shown in the video will be the way it rides, just like all it's other clones. Also, if it went backwards, they would have to make it a fast enough launch to get to the top again. It would go way too fast through the non-inverting loop.

By the way, in the video it looks like the OTSR's do jut out a lot. Even more so than I expected.

Nice to see they put out a POV

So what were the comments? I see that we are "stupid!"
