You still missed a few marcus. You know my bed is always available for you. I mean couch. I mean floor. I mean bed. I mean yes.

*What if* Cedar Point did this with Mean Streak? I wouldn't mind.
 
^ I don't think there's a single person who wouldn't be on board with an RMC. I'm just saying Millennium Flyer trains and a MCBR removal would be a good second place.

Also, since the layout will remain the same with minimal reprofile work, counting Ghostrider as the same credit seems in order.
 
Swung by the park today, they are absolutely flying on the retrack. The drop is gone, the first half of the airfield is gone, the turnaround is done, and same with lower level of turnaround, and then the former mcbr. I thought they would be redoing that segment, but just removing the brakes is a bit dumb imo, still kills the relentless pace.

I thought we would see significant changes, but it looks like it isn't changing a thing.

PTC has also unveiled articulated train designs at IAAPA - which makes me wonder if Ghostrider could receive revised trains with the revamp as well?
 
Oh yeah, that's right. Good!

Here's a photo of the PTCs as well:

Those would look so odd with the nose on a wooden coaster, but I bet they would actually feel wonderful on said rides that would run them.
 
I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was on the front of the car and then I realized it was a dragon. Besides for the zero car I like the look.

I hope to god that the zero car is customizable.

And hopefully they make old woodies smoother, as a few that we know need new trains.

I'm certain it is. Pretty sure if GhostRider had it, they would have a Ghost cowboy as that is their logo, which would probably look pretty sweet.
 
POV has been released by Knott's. It looks... smoother. Nice to also see the MCBR removed. Still unfortunate that this was approached as a retrack only - so much potential for reworking curves and banks!

You can compare to the original layout:

Why have they not made changes to the layout?!

Like, lower a few hills and stuff and it could be excellent.

But no, lets no bother.

**** you Cedar Fair.
 
It makes a horrifying vibration sound in the valleys of the hills. I was there on Saturday to just get my pass processed, and it was open for a private event, the sound was horrible.

Really disappointed that they didn't redo the helix at the end...
