Nopuko @ Lost Island is getting some track work done on the rollover. Apparently, there was a nasty jolt up there so it’s good news they’re addressing it. https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/s/dUKNZds5qc

Hersheypark operations are awful. They will have maybe 1 good team running their new coaster the opening year, then it all goes to ****. Case in point, Candymonium triple stacking every cycle when I know for a fact it wasn’t as bad in 2020. I didn’t go this year so can’t say if wildcat has...

You’re right it’s definitely not 100% ‘safe’ and IB should’ve foreseen this problem during the delays.

Too bad steel pier blows

*Insert joke about a Steelers themed ride being a hot mess*

Not like they can build much else over there 🤷

Could totally see them adding one of these to San Diego if all goes well with this project

Not likely. It’s my understanding that great adventure builds their replacement rails in house. As for why they are using RMC track, my best guess is that it costs about as much as prefab rails but steel would require less maintenance.

Are they planning on installing wheel heaters for the ride? Or are these just not used on B&M inverts.
