    Lightning Rod Status

    If you zoom in on that picture, there is not track on the Wave Turn. Also there is land cleared along the top of the launch to out a crane or access the launch system.

    Double Post Time! Stopped by the park today. There was no indication of any work going on to the front half of LR. There is a Security Guard at the Employee Lot so I couldn't get to see if anything is happening to the back of the ride. One very interesting thing I wanted to share. One of the...

    There has been a long-standing rumor that Wildwood Grove would get a "Phase 2" expansion. If you look behind the fence near Dragonflyer, you will see about ten acres of land cleared. Last summer (I believe), Dollywood sent out a survey to season passholders asking what the new type of coaster...

    If anything, I would suspect Premier was there for the new addition to Wildwood Grove.

    The local news around Knoxville is reporting that "it is being repaired due to a recall." If that is true, I would assume RMC would be footing the bill. For those mentioning the "speed bump," I rode it in August and did not feel it. It didn't feel that rough to me.

    A park with the best and worst coaster in one!

    Is Phantom’s Revenge at Kennywood classed as an Arrow or a Morgan?

    Ok! Did a little more digging on the control system. What I gathered is that over winter 2013/2014 the trains were sent out to be modified. They came back heavier and faster that the old ones. This extra weight and speed was causing the trains to overshoot the brake run which in turn caused...

    Is Phantom’s Revenge at Kennywood classed as an Arrow or a Morgan?

    Actually Irvine Ondrey Engineering did a complete update of the control system cabinet and PLC logic back in 2014. The only thing left on the coaster thats Arrow is the lift to the end of the straight section and the chassis of the trains. For the sake of the conversation, I would list Steel...

    SFGAdv | Jersey Devil Coaster | RMC Raptor | 2021

    I checked the forums for Railblazer and vertical construction started December 4 and last piece was in place January 16. So Full cconstruction took about 6 weeks depending on how much time the crews took off for the holidays. Devil is basically a double out and back which makes construction...
