Where have you been at Chris? http://thrillnetwork.com/stories_view.php/878

Unless you are just joking around. Those are some cool construction photos. I always like to see coasters right when they start building everything. When is this suppose to be done. I forgot.

Wow, you got up pretty close to it. Nice pictures.

I love these coasters' supports where it's one huge tube with a lot of little ones coming out of it to connect to the near by track.

Yes, where have you been? Don't you spend every waking moment on TN, salivating over every single story, worshipping it? You must live under a rock.

I hadn't heard of this either, and it is absolutely stupid. you really shouldn't name something that will last for decades on a fad. I mean, Mr. Six is pretty much already passed his due. If more people did this, we'd have rides like Arsenio Hall's Wacky Ride, Digimon Dungeon, and Yo Queiro Montana Rusa: Taco Bell Dog's Burrito Rush.

No offense but could it be because you're posting in the Carowinds thread most of the time?

I agree that the name probably won't stick around too long after this ride is built...not really interested in the name though seeing as I'll never get to ride it.

That is kinda funny but doesn't make sense. It isn't hard to view the news section tho. If the news section was in the forums then it could be the reason why. But since the news is its own section, he just probably forgot to check the news for a week or so.

The news section does work its own magic. In my opinion the name Mr.Six is quite simple, and what is gonna happen when that trend wears down, and the coaster is still named Mr.Six, NOTHING. People dont look at the name of a coaster when they ride one, they look at how bad its gonna throw them around!

Wow, look at that progress, and that was just in one week! That is a pretty steep drop for how little it actually does drop.

Well that could always be its next name. I am sure like we said before the Mr. Six part of the name wont stay that long. Why not call it The Bugs Bunny Carrot Coaster?

The updates are great. I had a revelation today at school. Though, it's not as high as Timberland Twister and Spinning Dragons, it's still gonna be the same height difference. The picture reveal a that the coaster will go down into a two "valleys" at the end. The first one looking about 10 feet deep and the second one containing the final helix a little more shallow. It's hard to explain so take a look. The coaster is going below ground level making it a height difference of about 52 feet. That be a cool effect while spininning, don't you think? http://www.sixflags.com/parks/newengland/i...pand_0309_2.jpg

Nice picture. Looks funny without the wheels on...


Is that a top spin by the coaster?

No, not the car photo, the one before that. I think it's a Top Spin. The cars do look good. I like the 'wavy' look of them.

That flatride in back is "Time Warp" the first Vekoma air jumpper ever! and the best ride at SFNE (yeah.. better then SROS...) Its ljust an inverted looping ride.. not a topspin.

Oh, I found a picture of it. Looks cool, though I don't see how it's better than S: ROS....looks just like Aero 360* at Kennywood.

Its seats give you more room.. and sitting in the front seat on it.. is just a great place to be.. looping around going down and just hangging in the OTSR over the midway is so cool...

I dont really like the face to face seats.. As I go to parks alone.. I dont really want to have to look face to face with someone I dont know for 2 or 3 mins...
