It takes a lot of testing before opening a new water coaster!  And this was only the first day...

This is Ray, an engineer from ProSlide, and Joe (off camera, saying "3-2-1" a lot then going back to his laptop to reprogram slightly and try again) testing the pulse feature for the linear induction motors that power Wildebeest's boats "magically" uphill.

Wildebeest, the world's longest water coaster, opens May 14.
