The Bullet Is Back... In Mexico

[rollermonkey]

As I understand the story, via Duane Marden, Schwarzkopf (the son, not Anton) ended up with this coaster somehow, and it was refurbished for possible resale. Then the ride sat in storage at Vekoma for several years, and was available for sale the whole time. I can't believe it never got scrapped in all those years.

I think it's good that it was not scrapped and will be run again.

Magnum was way better than Bullet. Am I the only one who thinks that?

No, I preferred Magnum Force as well. It was a much more substantial coaster and without the pain that Bullet, for me at least, produced 90% of the time.

Good to see this unique coaster saved & working again, but why so far away as i'll never afford to visit Mexico unless i'm a Euro Lotto winner

I love to see youngsters with ambition. It's Mexico, not the surface of Mars.

Mexican Parks are buying stored/closed coasters that needed homes lately. I'm happy that this piece of Schwarzkopf art is alive once again. Kudos Mexico!

This opened on 20th December however judging by their Facebook page (and Bing's dodgy translation service that Facebook employs) it's a nightmare for maintenance.

I bet it is. it has not operated for 8 years, but it still most likely a great coaster.

Just some of the 'translated' quotes..

When already will not be in maintenance? Should warn if will be in maintenance to avoid the back and money-.-

I've been 3 times, acquired those times the VIP pass and always this decomposed the Bullet. Evil that being a "new" attraction decomposition followed

Excuse this maintenance?

Such a good little coaster, I'm really glad to seeing it back up and running again.

Shame it had to leave our shores, but nice to see it working again. It should of been sold to Thorpe Park as they love extreme coasters.

I think its way too dated for Thorpe and would of hardly been a worthy investment. Unfortunately there is really no place for it in the UK. We have limited space and need to feel them with new, up to date attractions.
