Not sure whether this kind of thread would fit within the already existing "Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits", but I think it's different enough:
the idea of this thread is to collect coaster facts that sort of seem noteworthy, however for some reason they have totally escaped you for a long time until you found out about them in some strange unobvious way. Let me start off:
- before Taron, the world's fastest Multi-Launch coaster was Full Throttle!? What? How was this never mentioned at any point during construction, advertising or what not? I had to find out about this through a Taron documentary.
- ring°racer is SBNO!? I was absolutely shocked to find out about that thanks to Theme Park Crazy. I just always assumed that it was long gone, since ring°werk changed ownership twice since it's closure and both times it was stated that the new owner wouldn't have any use for the coaster. But apparently, it's still sitting there, waiting for some miracle to happen.
