B&M Floorless Wanter, since you've been there, can you answer my question 7 or 8 posts above?
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
Dragster usually runs 5 of the 6 trains.(But they did run 6 parts of last year and might this year too). They run the trains in pairs and 2 will be in a holding section after the station. 2 will be in the loading station and 2 will be in the unload station. There are also 2 blocks before the unload. I think
I got it right.
Yes that is correct with how they run Dragster. There is a 'front' and 'back' loading station and one for each unloading station. There is one block behind both unloads and then there are 2 positions in front of the loading station where they launch trains from the one farthest forward. This year I saw them run 6 trains once, but all the other times I've been there the red train was off getting worked on so it was only 5 trains.
oh sorry i havent been on vu but i think it will be or below 300 because it wont have enough room to launch up to 120 mph because the ride length is 2480 and ttd is 2800 , and if they do more with the ride like xcellerator it will take up all the room and there wont be that much room for the brakes. so it cant be a record breaking coaster. "Maybe on The East Coast it will but not in the world"

Just to update ya'll, a very large and deep hole has been dug at SfGadv. It will most likely be where the top hat will be located. Record breaker or not, this ride is getting me excited.(And we don't even know the specifics yet.)
For if you didn't know yet, Intamin track is on site. Something that just came to me, track/supports are also coming very early due to the early opening date(april) for the park.(instead of May in which Dragster opened.)
