Project 2019: Finnegan's Flyer (S&S Screamin' Swing)

[Zachary]

So I've been counting swings on the last handful of cycles and the program has been changed since we last talked about it. It is hitting six max swings each cycle now. It is currently using four swings to get up to that point (the last of which is a 90 degree one) and three-ish swings to slow down.

Right now this cycle is looking really impressive.

Update: Executives just rode and they only ran one side (orange) for that cycle. With only one arm it ran the five max swing program we saw before.

Update 2: They just rode again, this time with the new six-max-swing cycle with only one side running. Maybe they are evaluating program options?

Now, it'll probably be in the hands of Don Slatter and the weather god's for tomorrow. ?️?️?

The executives left and the last three runs since then have been on the six max swing cycle. Seems like a good sign!

Why is six scared of seven?


...
Because seven is a registered six offender.

 

[madmax]

NICE so this ride will actually be one of the better screaming swings

Hey hey hey, I love my dad jokes. You can hear more if you.....swing.....by FF this weekend. ba dum tisssss

I'm taking these as good thumbs down

Anyways as for FF itself...is it just me or does it seem a little more quiet than other S&S Swings?

According to some friends they have been letting employees ride today and will again tomorrow morning. So there might be some soft opening tomorrow afternoon

I think I captured something neat. I believe this is a group photo of the ride operators for FF... Or maybe it's just a group of employees getting ready to ride it.

before this they were out in front with Kevin though..

 

[Thomas]

No clue what that could be.

 

[Zimmy]

so the wall is down?

 

[Jahrules]

Yep. Just a small wall in front of the queue house remains

 

[Thomas]

They are doing employee testing. Telling guests a soft open may happen "at some point."

 

[BenWilkerson]

Running empty tests right now

 

[BenWilkerson]

5-7 employees just went in to ride and maintenance is currently riding.

 

[Jahrules]

yes, I got a shot of this from the red train as the employees were loading.

Added the photo later since my internet connection was wonky from the train.

 

[Gavin]

Definitely 6 swings above 90°. I'll update if anything happens.

 

[WDWRLD]

Yes, employees riding today, also the lake bed looks great.

 

[Thomas]

"Great." I think it needs more willow trees.

 

[WDWRLD]

I really thought they would have hid the underside more with bushes.
