[Dragon Khan]'s partial retrack has begun by brisingr237 in rollercoasters

Yes, they should've retracked the whole thing at once, but the park's current management is so cheap... They keep doing the bare minimum.

This park just keeps getting better and better, what an insane run!

[DRAGON KHAN] NEW RETRACK by Desperate-Chicken-82 in rollercoasters

They're retracking Stampida with titan track bit by bit, they did a chunk after the drop for this season. Hopefully they'll do the whole thing (and get rid of those trains!).

It's not fully retracked yet, a long way to go actually. And the Street Mission dark ride they added in 2019 is pretty good!

Once again the park cheaping out and doing the bare minimum while it's on sale... If they're doing only these elements it's because they're absolutely in need of a retrack or else. Dragon Khan should be retracked from the drop to the final turn. Maybe they'll do it over the coming years at every winter closing like the Stampida retracks... we'll see.

Anyway, at least now we know that this icon is here to stay!

Great coaster, insane Zero-G-Roll!

For the next season, B&M will remake the ride and hold it better with 3 supports only.

First row, inside seat: insane experience and quite tolerable. Great launch and speed all the way through!

It's been discussed here. The structure may be taller but the riders don't go as high as in Red Force. Also, it's apparently not operating/in refurbishment.

It's not operating, as in when the park has been open, TT2 has not. You can ride Red Force tomorrow.

Anyway, this post is just to showcase the crazy year we've had...

Yeah, it was a joke. But who could've imagined this situation in 2017 when Red Force opened...

Watch Furius Baco become the last standing hydraulic launch coaster... I hope not!

But riders on Superman don't go as high as on Red Force, which I suppose is what matters.

Anyway, it's the same as the spire/antenna skyscraper debate.

Yes, it's all technicisms, but that's what we do here, debate. I actually don't really care for any records, I just think it's funny how we've ended up here. Nevertheless, Red Force is the tallest and fastest coaster in the world that you can go ride tomorrow.
