Miler has also completed the engineering on Wild Waves and will be submitting plans to New Jersey in two weeks, but it will take a while before the state completes their vigorous inspection process.
After entering the station I was greeted by Toby, S&S General Manager and senior track specialist. We spent about 30 minutes talking about the various issues they were having with the prototype that delayed the opening. There were numerous minor track issues that had to be fixed and one that couldn't be corrected through the various techniques he specializes in without damaging the track. Imperfections in the 30 foot piece of track that leads back into the station meant it was slightly off and the car wasn't lining up properly with the dual launch stators. So they're replacing that section of track and it's currently being manufactured at the plant in Italy.
After sending the car around a couple of times, he asked if I was ready to give it a go - understanding that the last bit of track wouldn't be smooth due to the notches he had made in four locations to get it to line up correctly.
