It makes sense to go with RMC for cost and durability. We will see more and more wooden coasters getting steel track replacement whether we like it or not. Personally I am a huge fan of wooden coasters. I think wood track is a better fit with smaller or moderate size coasters. But for the...

I rode it once the year it opened in 1996!😢

It is sad but money is king so anything can happen.

Bad news. What does the future hold for the rollercoasters and the rides!? New SBNO rollercoasters until they get torn down:confused:

I'm sorry I probably missed something but I don't understand the 2-color scheme!?! What is the reason behind it? I rememeber the Blue Streak at CLP having 2 colors (fresh paint for the botton part about 10 feet high) because volunteers were painting it and were not allowed painting higher...

Eager to see the lift hill!

I am glad they are taking care of it. Those Intamin pre fabs are awesome and unique.

Yes!!!!!:D

As much as I like the coaster and the nostalgy I don't see it as a success story business wise.

I am wondering if the contractor to build it is Martin & Vleminckxas it is for many Gravity Group designed woodies?

Very good news! It looks to be an excellent coaster.

Please bring one to North America!!

Yes a mess of supports! I love it! It is different. We are so used to seeing B&M hypers and quite frankly they pretty look and feel the same after a while. The only other hyper that I can think of that is different than most regular hypers is Kennywood's Steel Curtain.

A little bit far from the revival of Drachen Fire :(

I love the massive structure of the coaster (supports and track)! Different compared to that of B&M or Intamin.

Going up quickly!

I understand all that especially everything these days costs more than ever before. It's just that with that price tag Playland won't be getting anything new for a very long time! And I feel that they, and the Pacific Northwest in general could have more thrilling rides and coasters.

Nice coaster but like I said 16 million dollars for it is quite a steep price!

Like I said before wheter we like it or not, I think we will see alot more RMC'S. And many parks could start brand new with an all steel (wooden coaster-like) roller coaster like Arie Force One at Fun Spot America in Atlanta.

Good addition to the park and nice colors. Quite a big price tag for a used coaster of this size though!
