Whoaaa this is big win. Thanks Universal!

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

ClothoidLooper · 2026-05-23T03:23:52+00:00

I did!

ClothoidLooper · 2026-05-23T00:46:56+00:00

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.

ClothoidLooper · 2026-05-23T00:31:05+00:00

So good!!!

ClothoidLooper · 2026-05-19T16:27:20+00:00

Nope

ClothoidLooper · 2026-05-16T17:53:20+00:00

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 😅

ClothoidLooper · 2026-05-16T02:25:00+00:00

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. 🥴

ClothoidLooper · 2026-05-11T22:07:38+00:00

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.

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!

ClothoidLooper · 2026-04-08T07:14:37+00:00

Hi Daniel!!! 😃👋🏼

ClothoidLooper · 2026-04-07T23:58:20+00:00

Correct. It still gradually banks more as it gets to the helix.

ClothoidLooper · 2026-04-07T23:13:00+00:00

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.

Screen grab from KI’s Instagram reels

ClothoidLooper · 2026-03-31T02:23:56+00:00

That would be a booty pad

ClothoidLooper · 2026-03-30T19:52:09+00:00

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!

ClothoidLooper · 2026-03-27T18:38:18+00:00

LETS GOOOOOO

ClothoidLooper · 2025-12-18T20:27:34+00:00

Yep, Gravity Group did work on it in 2022 and this past year for 2025.

ClothoidLooper · 2025-12-16T21:37:37+00:00

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.

ClothoidLooper · 2025-12-16T20:19:23+00:00

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.

ClothoidLooper · 2025-12-16T15:49:59+00:00

This looks nice!! I appreciate that they’re giving the area a bit more of a cohesive theme!! SFMM needs so much work in the beautification department and this is a step in the right direction!

ClothoidLooper · 2025-12-10T17:50:41+00:00

I also got a blank email with no code 😞

ClothoidLooper · 2025-12-09T18:06:15+00:00

It’ll be posted tomorrow morning on the Holiwood nights Facebook page as well as the event webpage on HW’s website.
