Also, update that to 100% sure it's GCI.

It's almost certainly GCI, but the park won't be announcing it until after Haunt.

I hit #80 a few days ago with Twisted Colossus. Hopefully by this time next year, I'll be up to 90.

It's hard to tell in this shot, but about 2/3 of the first drop and the entire helix are off as well. upload pictures free These guys were using saws to cut up track on the horseshoe turnaround. I ould hear the blocks of wood falling down. windows screen capture

Now that it's been officially confirmed, let's get stoked. Track demo is well underway, I'll try to get some more pictures today, but here's one... You can see half the track missing on the turn. picture share

I'd love to see the station get different cubbies, cuz the ones right now create such a crowd and really screw up both loading and unloading.

Well, the Xcelerator situation is a little different... the 2nd train made such a small impact on capacity because the ride is so short, while still requiring maintenance time/money, so it's gone most likely forever. A third train on GR (assuming the ride and load times stay relatively the...

That block brake would be important if they decide to bring back the 3rd train, and try to bump the capacity back up.

In case anyone didn't know... GhostRider's rehab ("comprehensive restoration") has been confirmed by the park and is scheduled to begin September 8th. That phrasing sounds like a GCI re-track to me, but I'm still crossing my fingers for RMC topper track. Screamin Swing is also being removed...

Not GR, but park construction related... Riptide will be opening again...at some point. There is a new ride gondola chilling on a trailer at the back of the employee parking lot, so looks like they're making a go of getting it back up.

New update is that the park decided to not have GR closed during Haunt because they need the queue space to hold crowds. Will be going down for a couple weeks in September to prepare for Haunt and then probably again shortly after Haunt, if the pattern continues. I've heard one employee say...

Having recently ridden Raptor for the first time... the Cobra Roll on that thing is a kick in the butt if you're sitting in rows 6, 7, or 8.

I know healthcare is free in Canada, but you surely must have to pay for your own vacations? Here in America, working full time doesn't guarantee you can even pay your normal bills sometimes, let alone vacations for roller coasting. I'd love to go to Ferrari World, but just the plane ticket...

Re: Cringe Worthy Non Coaster Enthusiast Comments you have h *When several inversions are clearly visible from the entrance, queue, and pathways in the park* "Does this ride go upside down?"

When I finally get off my butt and go back to SFMM, Twisted Colossus will be coaster number 80 for me. I know it's not many compared to a lot of people on this site, but traveling is expensive.

Spoke directly to one employee in Rides Maintenance and another employee who is a team lead on GR. Neither of them know who is doing the work, just that it's an outside contractor.

I work for Knott's and I've found out from someone in Rides Maintenance and also one of the team leads that GhostRider will be going down for a long rehab in September of this year that's expected to last 6-9 months, and will be done by an outside firm. I have a couple other friends in the...

Got to ride today, here's my mostly unbiased review Pros: Lots of physical scenery that is GORGEOUSLY done. Projections are well done and very intricately detailed. The screens are huge and very immersive. Decent ride time (about 5 minutes). Cons: Wished that the ride vehicles moved...

I think they wanted the exterior to be part of the Boardwalk atmosphere and save the steampunk for the ride itself.

The construction walls came down today, and the queue area is quickly taking shape!
