You’re right it’s definitely not 100% ‘safe’ and IB should’ve foreseen this problem during the delays. I’m just of the mind that if there was a significant chance someone could be hurt from these situations, someone would’ve sued/reported the park. After all, the American public has the habit of...

Excuse my ignorance but was anyone hurt or in any real danger during those rollbacks? In the video of the incident the descent/rollback looks controlled and the passengers did not appear to be hurt. I am all in favor of calling out parks doing sketchy or unsafe practices, but I think the concern...

Apparently Zeus just casually derails during normal operation and the staff are unbothered. https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/s/5OsF8t1NjT

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/R2YtA54CZ7d6Bd2N/?mibextid=WC7FNe Sad news but something many saw coming. The place was by all accounts on the way out for a while. I do wonder how this will affect the sister property down the boardwalk.

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.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/u22YNWJiyTokjrfh/?mibextid=I6gGtw Came across this on Facebook. Keen readers noticed the text #2007512 on the crate (referencing the rides height, speed and opening year)

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

Not really a fair comparison imo. Universal is owned by the largest telecom/media company in the US (Comcast). As much as I despise them, we all know that NBC Universal has been doing fantastic at managing projects and throwing tons of money into the parks. The same cannot be said of Hard Rock's...

Adios buzz bars :(

From what I understand, shedding weight at the corporate level (especially SF managers) was a big reason for this whole endeavor. I agree it’s a huge bummer that staff is getting let go with their families, expenses etc. I’m currently looking for work and it’s never an easy process. Anyway, I’m...

Off topic, but I can’t wait to start to see signs of progress on the record breaking parts of FF like the cliff drop and camelback. Once I see that, I’ll be convinced this ride is for real.

Wildcat’s Revenge: This was essentially my first RMC as the only other one I’ve been on was NTG in 2012 long before becoming an enthusiast. I was absolutely blown away with this coaster! I got two rides yesterday, one in the middle, one in the very back. I was initially concerned about the tight...

In the layout shown in the video I’m pretty sure I saw a trim near the pullout of the giant drop at 4:24
