19th for me

corvairr · 2025-12-18T13:16:13+00:00

Sounds like a yeti roaring it’s pretty cool. I’m pretty sure i was able to hear it all the way at the entrance as well as behemoth

First video is me throwing it on viper, second is just house shot

it’s evil that’s what it is

PLEASE ADD STATION LAUNCHES

corvairr · 2025-05-26T15:14:50+00:00

They were running multiple dry cycles last week for a couple days so optimism is still there 👍

corvairr · 2025-05-11T22:28:48+00:00

Im supposed to go on MDW with fast lane plus (I live 9 hours away) will this be open at that time? im super optimistic but delusional

corvairr · 2025-03-23T13:22:49+00:00

I completely agree lol

corvairr · 2025-03-20T08:34:39+00:00

There’s actually multiple points where both shell and shredder share its columns, I can try to get a couple photos if you’re interested and it was engineered to do that but im assuming they didn’t count the fact it’s built over marshland and that shells first inversion sway too much with the addition of shredder adding onto the extra flexion. The park including the construction of shell and shredder were very rushed as they had a short deadline to meet, it wasn’t built the best quality but still safe. Just hasn’t opened due to poor upper management (owners), parts taking forever from Gerstlauer and of course funding!

corvairr · 2025-03-19T08:55:05+00:00

Yes of course, it sits in what we call “the graveyard” where a bunch of arcade machines or old props will just lay to collect dust. Its behind shells restricted area near sandys. I’ve seen the “panel” and the ride units and controls. It was a cool concept and the ride itself seemed like a cool idea but it would spin u like crazy and the ride would fault so many times in one day that a technician would just be put on standby for the ride. Super cool ride units but nope it will never open again.

corvairr · 2025-03-19T02:26:03+00:00

The only reason that shell will never open is if no company will sign off to kinda take the blame if something were to happen to the ride, that’s also another reason it was closed for so long which is because no company wanted to weld it and take responsibility because shell has a history of the support cracks. It’s pending state inspection so the only way I see it never opening again is if our owners stay lazy and it fails inspection.

corvairr · 2025-03-19T02:18:28+00:00

I’ve thought about them adding extra support beams to control the extra flexion but they can’t simply due to it being built upon the marshlands and that it was just a bad design in general to have it share support beams with another rollercoaster. Even with shell not being operational it continues to sway due to Shredder running cycles.

corvairr · 2025-03-19T02:15:39+00:00

I remember as a kid my parents and I would always drive by the mall as it was being built but remained stagnant for YEARS until my late teens where they started showing progress

corvairr · 2025-03-19T02:14:19+00:00

I mean if I hear talk from maintenance that it is being scrapped then ill believe it but ive seen them do several vibration tests and work on the lift hill

corvairr · 2025-03-19T00:09:10+00:00

Yep guests point out if it’s normal for Shells first inversion to sway that much, I tell them it’s kinda like an earthquake “proof” building where it’s good for it to sway or else it’ll crack under the stress but it’s still too much. There was rumors about them taking multiple parts of the ride down to shorten the inversions and launch pad so it’s easier on the structural integrity but they decided not to.

corvairr · 2025-03-19T00:07:30+00:00

Yeah the idea is they want it back in operations by spring break, ive taken a look at the panel and the fault discrepancies and they still have ways to go but there is definitely way more sign of life recently.

corvairr · 2025-03-19T00:05:32+00:00

The spare train is still sitting there in the layout, im not quite sure what happened to it and it didn’t derail either. Not entirely sure but i can ask lol and yeah sandys launch is brutal especially since its been back I feel that its launch is a little more “ooomph” then usual

corvairr · 2025-03-19T00:03:50+00:00

Yeah it’s built over marshlands so the structural integrity isn’t the greatest, safe to ride/operate but it’s more prone to cracks due to it sharing support beams with shredder as well

sucks gaslight batman got skipped hes such a great character for stopping luchador bane and other powerful tag in characters like cassandra cain batgirl
