at this point there should be a "WTF KBF" thread for how they have been
Well, I think that ship has already sailed...i swear to actual god if they remove monte...
They did Colossus this year is well but it did have issues.Joking aside, if there really is any path forward, I could see Cedar Fair indeed waiting to see how the Zamperla retrofit works for TT2, and ordering up more for both Xcel and Montezooma.. Apparently strapping magnets to metal track is harder than it appears.
Really is curious why this project has fallen apart. Didn't Taziker do the Big One refurb? It isn't like they're an exact nobody.
They also had issues with one of the Big One retracks. There's a photo somewhere of a crosstie-sized gap between the new & old track, it's very funnyThey did Colossus this year is well but it did have issues.
Main rumor is both an epic failure resulting in the loop going down inadvertently and the supplier for the trains (Kumbak) getting thrown off the project for not going the distance. Xcelerator ****ting itself also likely complicated things.Really is curious why this project has fallen apart.
Follow-up question: Did Kumbak go for speed?Main rumor is both an epic failure resulting in the loop going down inadvertently and the supplier for the trains (Kumbak) getting thrown off the project for not going the distance.
Guessing you mean that piece of track that didn't align that Merlin ended up fixing and adding in the old track piece, scrapping the new piece... yeah?They did Colossus this year is well but it did have issues.
I'm not sure if that train's been there, but......this MIIGHT not spell good things for this project
Wait, so was the bluey/green track that Colossus eventually opened with just the old track that had been repainted and reinstalled, and not actually the new track? If so, where did you hear this?Guessing you mean that piece of track that didn't align that Merlin ended up fixing and adding in the old track piece, scrapping the new piece... yeah?
