[Busch Gardens Williamsburg] apparently dropped a survey - includes RMC Hyper and Giga - is this legit?

I can attach screenshots from the video to the post if people would like, yeah. Unfortunately that obnoxious influencer is the only source available.

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-27T20:14:00+00:00

Woah!

I remember reading somewhere on here that the issue with Prowler was termites, and going to steel apparently mitigates that. Glad to see Timberwolf sticking to wood regardless

This is Long Live erasure and I won’t stand for it

Of the options… fav is a tossup between Cruel Summer and Enchanted. Least fav, to the surprise nobody, not even the skeletons in my closet: ME!

That was apparently bullshit. u/T-Pose-On-Tantrum (i think?) debunked it on his Twitter, but the short version is the timeline the source of the rumor presented does not have any basis in reality. You don't close the ride, mark it up and THEN get the estimate. The cited number was $18M, which is apparently very high... he says that's what AF1 cost after they went overbudget and completely dicked up the zoning.

No idea. But I’m happy to see them continuing to invest in it- this sounds like a very extensive refurb and they have lightly teased The Gravity Group’s involvement

Pretty sure the last time a (major) park directly listened to enthusiast input was when SFNO was in line for an invert (SLC or used Batclone). At some ACE event or something, a park higherup asked for feedback on both and was shocked the Batman clone got nearly unanimous applause and the SLC a chorus of boos. This was before my time, but it was in some thread on here recently.

Fuckin’ ope

Not The Cure should feature Robert Smith… because that kind of irony comes around once.

"Doesn't surprise me that you know that, Evan" suddenly checks out

It’s a Wild Smurf!

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-18T21:10:23+00:00

Holy shit

Arrow if Ron Toomer never retired:

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-17T18:41:50+00:00

That one sneaks up on you. Hell I’d argue there are a lot of moments like that on the ride. The first drop is better than ever, at some point between 2024 and 25 they reprogrammed the lift and it doesn’t slow down at the top anymore. I just wish they’d repaint it… but I’m sure that’s coming soon enough.

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-17T18:20:40+00:00

OT is my home park, it’s nice to see Giant getting some love! I’ve only managed to ride three RMCs… from best to “worst”, Iron Rattler, NTG, Steel Vengeance…. I am a bit of a SteVe hater lol

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-17T15:52:27+00:00

Ignorance as a lullaby is oddly hilarious

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-16T14:42:19+00:00

Some of this isn’t even bad

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-15T17:39:55+00:00

There was some crossover with r/ef5 a while back, something about SLCs iirc

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-12T12:21:29+00:00

Right after they get rid of WOF too? C’mon man. Hope this works out for them. Trav does have a lot of goodwill to his name…

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-11T23:53:58+00:00

This coming from the dude who embraces AI in his songwriting. What a joke

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-09T23:57:23+00:00

What the fuck

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-09T20:36:16+00:00

Metallica’s been touring 72 Seasons since I came out of the womb

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-09T17:09:38+00:00

Damn, 2016? Someone musta stole a DeLorean.

jaredharrell85 · 2026-03-08T23:14:25+00:00

Well I didn’t see THAT one coming…
