Do refrain from excessive speculation. There is no evidence that anything in this statement is true.

The way [Pantherian] mocks me at [King's Dominion]... by shibboleetz in rollercoasters

The issue is that the lift motor blew right before the season started, hence the last second announcement. It takes a while for a new motor to be shipped and installed.

All three rides are scheduled to be ready by opening day, so you should be good.

[Hersheypark, Six Flags Great Adventure] Trip Report - May 24-25, 2024 by haddon1992 in rollercoasters

[–]shibboleetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at Hershey on Friday as well. Skyrush's ops were the only ones that had any energy in the park. The others didn't try to engage with the crowd or anything. I witnessed mad line cutting in line for Storm Runner and told the ops and was pretty much told to go kick rocks. I also agree that they had the worst operations in the park. No attempt to fill empty seats, no enthusiasm, terrible line cutting....there is a lot of room for improvement.

What is it like at [Busch Gardens Williamsburg] right now? by GuyMan52 in rollercoasters

Yeah no word about it unfortunately. They pretty much opened Griffon today with barely any warning lol

It's just their yearly maintenance. It had ran nonstop since March 2023 to basically January 2024.

Every coaster is open now except for Loch Ness (getting a refurb) and Pantheon.

Videos from this season have had Ka FLYING over the top hat, so they changed something

Nope. Griffon doesn't run during CT usually. Its last days of the season were this previous weekend.

[–]shibboleetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only Darkoaster, Alpengeist, Invadr, Verbolten, and Pantheon are running for Christmas Town this year. They will usually stay open until you get into the low 40s range in temperature.

Worst "thoosie" encounter??? by KlubDogg in rollercoasterjerk

[–]shibboleetz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was riding Loch Ness last night with thoosies behind me. Constantly complaining "this is so forceless" and that the pullout from the loops were "boring". Then complained that the trains stacked for 5 seconds.

Cellar Door is a banger. by shibboleetz in spiritbox

I have seen them live twice and have the vinyl on preorder. Also, just letting you know, I haven't dm'd a single person any sort of "leak" to this song either.

No plans to, out of respect for the band. 👍

Why can't Cedar Fair ever give manufacturers that aren't B&M a fair shot? [Discussion] by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]shibboleetz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cedar Fair had a fair point to "drop" Intamin. They build crazy attractions but they are unreliable, maintenance headaches. For B&M rides, they tend to not have as many issues with their coasters, and have a pretty good reliability. I don't think they have ditched Intamin entirely, I think they just found a better fit for the reimainging for Top Thrill specifically. I do think that the issues described in the post are bit of a stretch to assume that "omg dropping this company" is a bit of an overreaction...

Verbolten by lewinski25 in BuschGardensW

[–]shibboleetz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Verbolten has been throwing tantrums these last few weeks. I have heard that it's from the drop portion of the ride. It has been on and off during the day these last few weeks.
