I could sit and watch that video non-stop. Between the roar of the coaster and the train going through its paces, it's a happy place.
About a 1 mile and a 1/2 and depending on traffic noise we can hear the parades and concerts, not clear but we can hear the activity at the parks. Sad to say but I used the sound of the hulk to know when a storm would be close enough to pull the kids out of the pool. If the hulk would stop running as the skies would become dark,we knew it was time to get out.
Saw it running a couple of times today before the rain started. It's definitely a lot quieter, like others have said must be for the on ride audio. The cars look very nice though! You can also see the queue area if you ride dooms fear fall and get the right view, doesn't look anywhere near close to being done, lots of dirt everywhere and digging machines and stuff.
Hulk was cycling today during Gradventure after the rain stopped. I was on the bridge underneath when it launched, and it is almost completely silent besides an extremely smooth "whooshing" noise.
Anyone else think it's going way faster than before?
Re: Roar
The problem with the prior implementation was that the sound would come from the track/train, so when it's up in the air it'd broadcast the sound all around the resort and community. A similar loudness could be replicated inside the park using off ride speakers closer to the ground. It would be quieter outside of the park and could also be reduced/increased as necessary.
It's certainly possible. The coaster is definitely moving faster. I wouldn't be so sure they it's only for testing and the actual coaster car is weightless as well
It depends if it's Disney or Universal. Universal dummies are slim & light to reflect their customers' size. Disney's are very large and heavy, once again to represent their customer base.When they're testing the coaster like this with water dummies, what's the weight per dummy? I'd imagine it's going to be the maximum weight to ensure every weight possibility is accounted for and that may lead to faster trains.
Good question. I know that water weighs about 10 lb a gallon.When they're testing the coaster like this with water dummies, what's the weight per dummy? I'd imagine it's going to be the maximum weight to ensure every weight possibility is accounted for and that may lead to faster trains.
