With all this in mind - I don't think Six Flags Qiddiya will be reliant only Falcon's Flight alone to be successful (gratefully). The park, much like it's crown jewel, remains massive in scale, and will have a lot to offer beyond any one singular roller coaster. This at least will help having a...

To @Trax's point, the park will undoubtedly remain quiet until they confirm a reopening date. Even then, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a matter of quietly reopening the ride with little-to-no fanfare to minimize attention draw. While I know enthusiasts like to paint a picture of "Cedar...

Well said, and my thoughts exactly. The sheer complexity of these types of large roller coaster projects feels a challenge for any manufacturer. There is an absolute "told you so" narrative evolved on social media amongst coaster enthusiasts for why Zamperla was the wrong choice over Intamin for...

Let's see, we went from Intamin to Gerstlauer on the envisioned manufacturers - are we next to Vekoma? or Zierer? ;)

Locking this chat - can use the construction thread!

Maverick and Steel Vengeance are arguably one of, if not the, best two-punch coaster combo out there! Like I mentioned on the previous page, and to @Hixee's point; Steel Vengeance, and indeed coasters with tightly packed inversions/elements, require multiple rides to really get a feel and...

A fundamental question: For whatever damage and remediation is needed - does the park have ability and spare parts to limp a single-train-style-operation along, or is the challenge of the problem greater/genuinely requires re-engineering with inability to operate under current conditions? We...

And we have POV!

Cool, so you're the taker on my Falcon's Flight bet? ;) My driving point is: Intamin's reputation is anything but stellar, especially with high speed launch systems. Even Red Force is dropped down to seemingly frequent one-train operation due to train ride system error. There is no one...

To just pump the brakes a little here, the original season... and second... were also pretty ridiculous. ;) There's anything but certainty that Intamin would have charted a fairer course. Understand there's an (unfortunate) laundry list of Intamin projects gone awry, especially at Cedar Point...

But at least the OTSRs with no seatbelts remain in tact!

Well, there was another name to Stealth, but you can't see it.

They have an ok batting average; indeed the rumors seem to corroborate and point to refabrication of a train component. Fingers crossed on seeing motion at least by June. 🤞

There remain a lot of rumors swirling on the trains as culprit - this partly stems from a very real modification that was done on the wheel guard from initial conception to deployment to be sure a rider couldn't get their foot onto the wheel if poked from a very specific direction. So unclear if...

So update, apparently TT2 was struggling yesterday against 20-30 MPH gusting headwinds, with many, many rollbacks counted. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6wYTIgpfap/?igsh=a3k4MjRqZmFrMjg4 The greatest mistake of Top Thrill was building it to face westward (weather usually blows from...
