I don't recall anyone saying "quick"....also note: that post you referred to was from 2022...so they have had literal years to get it back together... On page 1 of this thread it says "Coming 2023" jeez, has it really been that long?

I think they cut it into pieces with a blow torch, but there's really no reason why they couldn't weld it back together...which might be the reason this has taken so long. If this was a newly manufactured reproduction, I would think it could have been much quicker than fixing what they tore...

Holy crap is that the original loop?!? It certainly looks like it.

Give them some credit, it's not like they've EVER done this before...😝

Nope. Definitely not going to have any issues with dust affecting the roller coasters or the ride experiences. Not at all, lol.

For some reason I thought this was replacing the Tidal Wave type ride in the park, but this looks to be in a different area than I initially thought. What was there before this installation? Didn’t they demo the Tidal Wave ride (which, due to the lack of water rides in this park, I was totally...

Don’t know why, but for me…the highlight of this ride is the blast out of the mountain, and the interaction with the surrounding area and rides, absolutely love it, almost RCTish. Definitely up there on my list of must rides for 2025.

I understand why rides need to be closed. But why the HELL do they keep permanently closing rides without any kind of warning or send off? Such a middle finger to anyone who ever remembers and/or loved the ride, coaster enthusiast or not. It's so infuriating to me.

Trains look good, I like how open they appear to be. Looks to be seat-belt-less? For the time being, atleast... Only complaint is that steel bar going from the seat to the backrest. I could forsee a bit of arm/elbow banging during the ride/getting on and off the train. A little bit of padding...

LOL those fountains are absurdly hilarious. How embarrassing. I think I could do better with my hose in the front yard. Anyway, just want to say, ya'll continue to have some of the BEST coaster footage, Off Ride and *especially* POV's, always do a bang up job.

I AM SHOCKED

Those trains are schweeeeeet!

Does anyone know if this is going to be an upcharge attraction? I know the one at Knott's was...not sure if other parks have followed that trend, or if it's randomly decided per park.

lol I really don't understand how at this point park management/company management in the amusement park industry can't just look at a concept and realize...that's not going to work. It only took a couple of us a few views of this ride during construction to realize what a cheap piece of...

During the off ride vids or POV's it's pretty clear that the train visibly shuffled on the mostly straight launch portions of the track. Quite aggressively, too. Kind of hard to tell from the video and the angles if this is indeed the entry and exit of the top hat (Intamin), or the straight...
