Busch Gardens Tampa- Falcon's Fury Testing with Employees

Busch Gardens Tampa- Falcon's Fury Finally Testing, with Employees!

 Good News for fans of Busch Gardens Tampa and Drop Towers!

 It appears from reports from BGTFans that 'Falcon's Fury' is finally doing some employee testing. While right now the testing appears to only involve senior park members and not the general staff but this could be a good sign that the drop tower may finally have it's issues sorted out.

 The ride still has no official opening date, just an estimation, but the park did tell BGTFans “We are ride testing with specific safety and operations team members, but we do not have any updates on when park employees, or the general public, will be able to ride.”. Which we can hope is good news and may allow the park to open the ride before the current estimated "Late Summer 2014". 

 Stay Tuned for more updates!

Banshee Watch- First Successful Test


Banshee Watch- 2/18
First Successful Test Run

Image from Kings Island's Facebook Page
 Good News for Coaster Fans,
Kings Island's newest, record breaking roller coaster, Banshee, has had it's first full and successful test run.

 However, the park still isn't releasing many details about the rides testing at the moment. Simply this image and that it has successfully tested. The way it was written perhaps they had some trouble in the beginning getting things online and working properly but we can't confirm this at all.

Either way, it's excellent to see the ride in motion and getting ready for it's big premiere to the public on April 18th.  Remember, we will be present for the media event for Banshee on April 17th. So we'll have all the information, goodies, video and photos to appease you until you get the chance to ride this amazing looking coaster.

Disney's Magic Kingdom- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Testing

New Video- Seven Dwarf's Mine Train Testing 
 
  
 
 After months of quiet construction, it seems Disney World's Magic Kingdom Park is finally moving forward on testing their newest addition to the "Fantasyland Expansion". Set to open in 2014, The Seven Dwarf's Mine Train has been spotted doing ride through tests after months of the track being completed. 

 Slowly but surely, the outside areas of the ride's themeing is coming together. Still no word about what progress is being made to the rides inside themeing though we can guess it's probably coming along nicely at this point. 

 On neat thing about this video, you can spot the 'swaying' of the ride cars.
