No they were transfering on the train I guess, since there wasn't anyone on the train.

This happened on Gemini. When it opened, they mis-calculated the second hill and they ended up having to lower it 5 ft. in order for it to make it. Thats why the trains go so slow around that hill!

I think they should add loops. Ot goes so fast and then it is over. What is the point of that?

It depends on the size of the looop. If they built a reallllyyy reallly big loop (like record setting height)..and the transition to the loop would have to be really gradual too, but then and only then might it be possible....

That is the point, Brittany. It goes extremely fast and then ends abruptly, so there is no anticlimax.

I'd lose the desire to ride TTD if it had a loop or two, but that's just me.

Okay, I see the point that loopz would hurt if you go so fast like at 160 like TTD does. Maybe another way to make it exciting would be to enclose the whole thing so it would run in the dark! Like Flight to Fear except way bigger! Yay!

^ I would hate to see TTD enclosed. The only advantage would be the ability to operate during bad weather (unless CP enclosed TTD in the way they did with Disaster Transport---what a shame). Besides, TTD can be seen from miles and miles away---there's no way CP would alter the current skyline in that manner.

TTD typically launches at a speed reaching between 120-124mph.

A nice inclined loop that is lower kind of like an overbanked helix.

I would leave the end of the top hat open so the train would fall off and a parachute would engage. HAHAHAHA

It would probably look like a giant Iowa-ian grain elevator.
