  • Sorry to my main audience but I am a theme park enthusiast at heart and so I had to post this after seeing it myself. Regular Buxton uploads should still be coming every Saturday at 11:30.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard a crowd gathering for a coaster test in my life. Usually the park would try to keep the progress as secluded as possible until it opens.

      It’s quite an atmosphere around the coaster even though there was a lot less people on park than for the first test run yesterday. Also very hard to hide this project it’s pretty darn big aha

    The lift-hill drive seems very smooth, and though I can see its teeth, I can't hear the anti-rollback device clack-clacking... It also seems to lose almost all momentum when cresting the peak of the final loop, I wonder if that's just because the water dummies are lighter than typical humans? Hopefully it won't rollback on that loop and get stuck in the previous trough..!

    • @Leock
      @Leock  Před měsícem +2

      It’s been running far quicker recently and the lift hill is fairly quiet but cresting the lift it does clack a bit.

    • @Leock

      I think it’s just the wheels squealing because it started raining and it’s a very tight track section at the start. It should go away once it’s been tested more :)

      I’m sure it will speed up a little more. It was also a gusty day with Swarm intermittently closing due to the high wind speed.

    • @nemesis8626
      @nemesis8626 Před měsícem

      Coasters aren't going to roll back on a lift hill, also there tested with dummies that simulate people and the first stop test run it took 25 mins to go up the lift hill, a coaster wouldn't roll back on a lift hill even if it was motionless, that would be far too dangerous.
