I hear myself on the 1st launch because I thought it would stop like it did earlier so I just went "NEVERMIND"
@zachclarke2, once again, proving he's the best coaster videographer around. He is the more dedicated Zach too—he stuck it out yesterday and was right back there again today.
i’ll claim my title as photographer, y’all will see tomorrow specifically.?
Not sure I ever stood a chance of being able to stay away today after being teased so well yesterday honestly. Think my patience has pretty much been spent this weekend, but looking forward to shooting photos as well once they start running it more than 5 times a day. Glad everyone seems to like the footage though, makes it worth standing around for so long.

Your footage is actually incredible!! I think we all thank you for it!!
*Reads comments about sexy coaster photos and is ashamed of life decisions that brought me to these forums.*
The two shots that I will be trying for this week and dearly want are the head chopper from the train and a gopro shot from Bolt of both it cresting the top hat and in the over bank. hopefully testing will progress to where both won't be dumb luck.
That outer bank looks way better than SteVe. We’ll have to see how the rest of the ride goes.
i got a lot more but these are the 2 shots i’ve posted so far
hell yeah, just epic footage, definitely gonna be hard for anyone to top that unless someone gets lucky with the train anytime soon, because it’s gonna be a while until we get good intervals on testing, what do you use to shoot ur vids?
Does it still dispatch from the station to the first launch as slowly as it did in those first few runs a week ago? I think the first launch looks fine speed-wise especially with the hang time it looks to have in that first inversion but it was absolutely CRAWLING through those turns out of the station in the videos I’ve seen, I was hoping it would eventually dispatch faster. Most of the recent testing footage (understandably) hasn’t shown that.
I think the videos that you saw was them doing a "recovery" launch. If the train stops on launch 1, they will launch the train backwards (towards the station) and then it will slowly roll forward to get a "running start" for launch 1. When the train is dispatched from the station- it will enter launch 1 much faster.
This shot from @matthewcsoup shows a dispatch from station.
And this shot is a "recovery launch" (or at least that's how I define it)

I shoot with a Z6 and an assortment of lenses I've collected over the years. If you're genuinely interested in my work (and not just weirdly trying to one-up me or something) I have a portfolio where you can see my stuff.
If anyone's going to be at the park this week, please keep us updated on testing frequency if there's anything going on. Would love to get to the park again to get photos, but don't think it's worth the trip if they're still only cycling every 30-40 minutes.
I can guarantee updates a couple times this week.
The enthusiasm in some of these videos is just plain epic....I love coasters!
You should have been around for shooting. it's safe to say that this one is drawing a ton of interest and enthusiasm.
