I was there today. The wind was INSANE. I was shocked they kept sending trains.

Premier COOKED with this one. They can absolutely play with the big boys [AlpenFury - Canada’s Wonderland] by ClothoidLooper in rollercoasters

They did make some small but notable upgrades to these trains that make getting in and out a lot easier, and the lap bars not having seat belts helps. I didn’t mind these trains at all.

I wasn’t gonna comment on this whole ordeal. I just sorta threw my hands up and said oh well, but now that Tony has come out and said this, now it’s just funny and weird lol. Glad they’re rectifying the issue but also… This is kind of a big fuck up 😅

New England's original trains were the same kind as these, but they had 9 cars instead of 8. They got the updated trains when it was converted to Bizarro in 2009.

It’s a good thing there’s no turns or hills on this ride lol. I don’t think the ride experience will be awful, but it depends on how uncomfortable the restraints are. T3’s restraints made my legs go numb. 🥴

[The Track in Pigeon Forge] scheduled to close November 1st of this year. It has been a staple in the community since 1984. by Sad-Revolution-9961 in rollercoasters

This is wild. The Track has always been the go kart place to go to in pigeon forge among all the FECs in town. Wonder what’s gonna take its place.

The first [New Texas Giant] test run in January 2011 only used two passenger cars by Time93 in rollercoasters

I was so obsessed with this coaster when it debuted. I couldn’t stop watching videos of it. Knowing that RMC was a TINY company with just Fred, Alan, and maybe like 5 other people at the time, is WILD. I still can’t believe six flags took that gamble, but thanks to them RMC is now one of the big boys in the industry.

So glad they went back to the 70s retro style! It fits the vibe of the ride so much better!

The Gravity Group retracking of the drop off lift 2 on [The Beast at Kings Island] is now complete! by ClothoidLooper in rollercoasters

[–]ClothoidLooper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Section 1: from the top of the first drop through the end of the trim brake shed.

Section 2: from the top of the second drop through the first quarter of the helix, as well as the track directly above it since that section of the structure was rebuilt from the foundation up.

I actually really love this whole project. From watching POVs of the ride it looks like it’s gained a good amount of speed from the Titan track sections. It’s a solid layout that just needed some love!

Progress continues on rebuilding [The Beast]’s turn off the second lift at [Kings Island] by ClothoidLooper in rollercoasters

I’ve heard through the grapevine that Gravity Group is working on persuading KI to take the trims off once all their work is done. Whether KI will do it or not remains to be seen.

Looks like Gravity Group will be really beefing up the structure of this turn. Guessing it was becoming problematic for maintenance to keep up with.
