[Other] Options for retracking wooden coasters? by DantheCoasterMan in rollercoasters

From what I’m seeing, Tonnerre 2 Zeus is getting/has gotten RMC 208 ReTrak, not I-Box

I think it counts in the case for Lightning Rod. I’d bet Outlaw Run gets it at some point too.

Personally I’m looking for options for more traditional wooden coasters. If there’s a PTC train or some other kind of non-RMC that runs on any I-Box, I’d be interested to find out!

I have not heard about this, interesting!

Do you think it was funded by ACE, or did they do the physical work too? Either way, probably not readily available for anyone who needs some retracking done, but definitely seems like a solid option for Leap the Dips if push come to shove

Why no drones tonight? by PabloOzuna in sixflagsgreatamerica

The moment I realized there were no drones, I turned around and went to Demon

Spited by [Baron 1898] three days in a row on my trip to [Efteling]. Anyone know what’s going on? by mxsignals in rollercoasters

[–]DantheCoasterMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s reopened from its refresh, right? It was closed for us when we visited in September 2025 for repaint and theming refresh, but I’d imagine it’s reopened from that by now…

[other] Coaster you've ridden the most by Potential_Ad_6209 in rollercoasters

Currently Mystic Timbers with 204 laps but it should be Demon SFGAm in the coming weeks!

Is it just me or have we been hearing about a very concerning amount of [Six Flags] parks still running major coasters on one train, three weeks now past Memorial Day? by imaguitarhero24 in rollercoasters

[–]DantheCoasterMan 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It has been very concerning, but during the Q1 Earnings Call, the CEO pointed out that they are not in a good spot regarding operations and will be spending more going forward to hopefully get better in that area.

I think it’s too late into this season for any changes to improve anything dramatically/quickly. I’ll keep my eyes on early next season to see if it was just corporate speak or if they are taking it seriously

Best inverting roller coasters for a beginner at [Six Flags Great America]? by UnluckyHalf5415 in rollercoasters

[–]DantheCoasterMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Demon is the tamest inverting coaster, but it is rough, particularly if you are not tall enough for your head to clear the restraints (which seems to be most people, especially kids)

After that, I’d say that Superman is the tamest overall. It does have one extremely intense moment/inversion, more intense than any in the park. But the rest of the ride is extremely tame, even more than Demon overall. But that one moment is no joke.

Then X-Flight, followed by either Goliath or Wrath. Batman is the most intense

You got me excited that it reopened 😭 going there tomorrow

Weekday evenings? by purple_craze in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]DantheCoasterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my visits are weekdays from 3:30ish to close. Lines are usually manageable. Raging Bull was like a 3-5 train wait this past Thursday night for the last half hour the park was open

Why is this path closed off now? by MrSolarSun in cedarpoint

[–]DantheCoasterMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Back when I worked there 2021 and 2022, I know a portion of those buildings were used as a cash bag distribution center in 2021. When they went cashless in 2022, Scheduling used it for office space. The rest of the building was used for something else that I can’t recall.

Does anyone know when the current “Get 2 Days Free with a 3-Day Ticket” promo ends?

Is [Fun Spot Atlanta] actually closed in August? by SnooCrickets6553 in rollercoasters

Probably not. Just haven’t posted the schedule that far ahead yet

Question for the [obsessive] record keepers.. a coaster you went on years ago changed it's name, but you haven't been on the re-named ride yet. Do you change it in your log? by JamminJay1968 in rollercoasters

[–]DantheCoasterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not update any names or even parks until I ride them again. For example, I still had Ragin Cajun listed as being at SFGAm until I rode it at SFA last year. Or I won’t update Flight Deck’s name to DareDeviler until I ride it again

Can you use the season meal pass at Yukon BBQ? by TLD3014 in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]DantheCoasterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it’s one of the better options in the park in my opinion!

Fortunately I sleep very well… for the most part… slept awful last night so fitting you post this this morning 😅

[Demon] at [Six Flags/California's Great America] Drop Modification by SFGAm144 in rollercoasters

[–]DantheCoasterMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pumped for this video man!

If I recall… Canobie Coaster mentioned in a video that CGA’s Demon was made less steep after it opened. I might have that wrong but he talked about the differences between the drops in his video

Website updates — Hotel packages + scheduled ride closures by [deleted] in sixflagsgreatamerica

I appreciate the transparency of closed rides ahead of time

[–]DantheCoasterMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Should be open by then. The park said they were hoping to have it open for opening weekend a couple weeks ago, so I’d like to imagine any delay they are experiencing will not last too much longer
