Unless they sell the ride to someone who is in a position to buy a new chassis? Then they don't have to pay for repairs and they get money from the sale of the coaster.

Apparently it needs £200,000+ for a new chassis and Drayton won't/can't pay it.

It's not unique in the world, but very unique for Florida and the US! Getting good reviews so far, lots of people saying it feels really fast.

Looks like quite a large GCI :)

76mph doesn't sound too family friendly!?

Looks great, hopefully the name reads better in the target language.

No :)

Rode Kraken in July, fantastic ride. Not as smooth as it used to be (but by no means rough) and I thought it was fast, well paced and forceful. One of the best B&Ms that I've done.

Why won't it be Intamin? I know they're having issues with Infinity Falls but they also did with Falcon's Fury and that didn't stop them buying more :P

Before Icon opened, I thought the park would do well if they got an 8% increase off the back of Icon. To think that Icon would double attendance is ridiculous, Harry Potter is the biggest new thing to happen in the theme park industry for a long time and that increased attendance at IOA by...

The park has been busier this summer, to what extent I'm not sure but definitely busier than last year.

BPB are building a £12 million hotel for 2019, investment is great at the moment

There was a usually reliable member on TowersStreet a few months back claiming that Icon was the first ride of a two ride deal with Mack.

Don't worry, I wasn't directing that at you :)

For starters, BGT never specifically said Gwazi will become a hybrid coaster, which he repeats throughout the video. Anyway, not sure why this guy's opinions are hailed as being more important than anyone else.

There is so much wrong with that video.

The guy places emphasis on the words hybrid and rocky, says Gwazi will be "revamped" (note: not demolished or replaced) and that you'll be holding onto your seats. If this is not RMC Gwazi BGT obviously have no regard whatsoever for the mental health of enthusiasts.

Maybe a lot of wood has only been pulled out of parts of the ride that won't be used?

They can't have just left Gwazi to rot with no consideration for the strength of the structure. They have to make sure it doesn't collapse on anybody!
