Originally Posted By TDLFAN I went back to DAK and updated the Everest progress photos... It was a rainy day and some photos look dark. Apologies...

By the looks of it.. there was only one train undergoin testing..and seems to me the ride will be a short one based on the time it took the train to circle around. Maybe 2 minutes tops?? Also found the trains to be quiet as they dropped down the main drop out front of the mountain..and they loose a lot of speed as they come out of that helix drop...however, seems to me that once they go back in the mountain, they probably pick up speed as a slight rumble sound (similar to the one during the high speed drop) can be heard coming from the inside... Some fun, eh?? The theming is great and the landscapping lush. I can't wait to ride this coming springtime!! FUN FUN FUN!!!

The answer to that question was there. *sighs* Fine... I said the drop is speedy (maybe about 45mph for a couple of seconds?)but the trains do loose speed as they circle out of the helix, comparable to BTMRR.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 I always read your captions, as they are part of the portfolio to me -- and I did see Speedy, and it was appropriate on the pic as the car dropped from sight...but speedy can mean a lot... So slower than TT, but comparable to BTMR -- although I picture the drop to be maybe equivalent to Splash's drop ?
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Can't tell you exactly how fast it gets towards the bottom of the big drop because the landscape in front of it (plus the blue wall) do block a good 50% of it. But I'd guess the Splash comparison is close to the actual thing... However, if it was closer to TT's speed, those trains would be flying off the track faster than you can say "DLBTMRR".

We should not tar them all with the same brush, I'm not one of those that visit in a semi state of undress, infact I wear exactly what Bloona wears. I do hate the fact that alot of the UK guys tend to wear England T-shirts and to me it gives that yobbish impression. On many visits to the Sunshine State I've joked with fellow UKers about Americans that favour knee high socks with shorts....what's that all about? Just my 2 cents worth! Maxine

Originally Posted By Labuda "long socks with sandals WHAT is that about?" Best I can figure is it's about being tacky. I am NOT at ALL a fan of sandals with socks - socks defeat the whole purpose of sandals!!!!

I am assuming this mean bad in some way , but a new term forme -- I like the way it sounds though !!! And sandals with socks -- yuck !
