2011 New Texas Giant First Test Run Six flags Over Texas

Actually guys the "partial train" as you call it as you seen in the video is the actual alpha train that will be used. SFOT said the shorter train will allow for a smoother ride and won't cause extra strain on the wood from the extra weight of the new tracks. Also it will allow for them to be able to run more then just three larger trains at a time like the old one in order to minimize wait time in line. Hope this clears up some confusion. This is not my opinion, but actual facts from SFOT whic

Does this video suck for any particular reason? I mean, is SF trying some strange teaser so we can't watch a quality video of the first run from start to finish?

For those of you speculating about the little train, there are a number of different reasons that a coaster sometimes uses a partial train on it's first run. That a full train "would not make it through" is purely speculation. Most coasters run a full train the first time weighed down with sand, water, shot or other things.

@Bdawg71692 > A full, non-weighted train would not make it through a complete ride circuit.

@rfgstl yes it would you nothing about the way a coaster works

@mrmichaelredneck > And, you know nothing about how to complete an actual sentence, retard. They choose to run an incomplete train for beginning trial runs for that very reason...not knowing how a train will run the course. It is very obvious here as the partial train is running quite slow. I know enough about roller coasters, so your comment is neither desired or required. Thanks!
