As a kid, before the internet and becoming en enthusiast, I thought everything came from the US!! I found out I was wrong!

Yes Mindbender at Galaxyland was good! So powerful! What a shame it wasn't saved.

I gotta catch a ride on it and compare it to to now defunct West Edmonton Mall's Mindbender.

Love it! I think they already have a winner!

If I remember correctly, the price tag for an Intamin Plug n' Play was quite high. Probably why they didn't sell that many. And after 15 years or so, the retrack is probably very expensive. As much as I love a true wooden coaster, I don't see a bright future for them, especially with RMC...

I'm glad they are taking good care of this wonderful woodie. If only they were still building those prefabs! IMO they are the best wooden coasters.

Can't wait to ride it! Perfect fit for TGE!

Smaller parks could be sold yes but some smaller parks turn in a good profit. I have heard several times that La Ronde was one of the most profitable parks within the Six Flags chain! For the past few years they have removed older attractions every season and not replaced them, and the...

True. I think they will seek new owners for some of their parks.

I wonder which park(s) will end up closing for good!? There is no way they are keeping ALL the parks in the long run.

We'll be there next summer to try it!

Pecfect coaster for the park! What a great addition! I rode the Bobsled on its last weekend and was wondering if the were going to reuse the station!

That would be nice!! But CW could definetly build a brand new RMC from the ground up! They have the guts to do it. A big, tall, bold, RMC hybrid.

Perfect addition for The Great Escape!!!

Nice to see it almost ready!

Nice to see that park always adding attractions on a regular basis. Kudos to CW for being innovative and caring about customers. It's not like if they have so much competition around. Darien Lake is not a huge competitor, La Ronde 6 hours away is far and they are removing rides instead of...

I don't know if it's just me but steel roller coasters are getting bigger and bigger and I find it scary to think what shape they are going to be like in some 40years!? They are getting higher so it is probably harder to inspect thoroughly. Maybe we have pushed close to the limits in terms of...

Nice statement from Carowind. They will improve the way they inspect the ride. Crarks in steel, especially welds are hard to see sometimes, but when they appear they never go away and just get bigger over time. I personally think the design is appropriate and the problem comes from...

Wear and tear. Fatigue.

I am afraid it might be. Other companies build trains for them and if it is the only way to keep them running I say let's do it. I am curious if they don't have other problems such as tiny cracks in the tracks as it was reported by the owners of Galaxyland about their Mindbender.
