Project 2022: Pantheon

[ControlsEE]

Every electromagnetic motor has a stator, it doesn't matter if it is a linear or rotary motor
Technically, they are stators, but since the actual stator (the bare copper inside the white plastic casing) is not exposed, I don't see any reason they cannot be called launch fins.

I also expect in the next hour:

The technical term is “Horizontal Lift Chain”

 

[ControlsEE]

You mean Whosiwhatsit?


I think we should just call them tators.

Let's call them Fins! That way we can think warm thoughts with some Jimmy Buffett.

This version of the video pisses me off.

The first upload to YouTube was from a guy who gave credit to the original, gave details about the original (who posted it etc) and just wanted to save the video from DMCA takedown.

This guy embedded his logo over it and is hawking merch. No reference to the original; just taking all credit for himself.

Effing loser.

Please delete the video from the post. It doesn't deserve to get views from this site.

O’Stators.

 

[halfabee]

Wouldn't it be stators?

I would think launch fins is a perfectly acceptable way of describing them since that's what they do (yes, I'm aware that many stators may also be used for braking) and what they look like.

So perfectly acceptable, in fact, that ride suppliers themselves often call them fins.

?

Apparently the bridge was installed last night.

We'll likely have to wait til the park opens to get good pics

But

I'm sure many of you have heard of The Bridge to Terabithia. I present The Bridge to Pantheon. It was installed late last night. You saw it here first. Threw in a couple of track pics for extra...

So, no arches as depicted in the recent POV...reminiscent of the Rialto Bridge in Venice?

 

[FoozMuz]

We've had the plans for this bridge for a long time now.

Looks very plain. I was hoping for more, like maybe stone and a more Roman feel.

Same.. They still need a ramp too, maybe the pathways won't just be plain concrete

 

[Bring Back Questor 87]

The. Bridge. Is. Not. Fully. Complete.

Just listen to the guy from the crosswalks: "Wait."

 

[tursiops]

I know it's not complete, but I'm not sure they will redo the railings. Maybe they will be covered though.

? I think that, any leaks are good leaks, so I took what I could get? Source looked at me with big brown eyes and said ? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet? Baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-n-nothin’ yet? Here’s something, here’s something, here’s a leak you’ll never forget? Baby, you just ain’t seen...

I don't think we have any reason to believe that there have been substantive changes since these plans were drafted.

Thanks Zachary!

Really hoping for some solid theming. BGW has a history of using concrete as their main theming item. I.e. Tempesto and InvadR.
