SbSteveZ Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I was in the area so I decided to drive past the park and as of at least yesterday all the BtE track is completely gone. There are still a bunch of supports but I’d imagine those are next to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgkallday49 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Two things from this photo... LOL at the lady thinking that Tantrum is just B:tE rebranded, and according to the park they’re scrapping B:tE. If you really want some laughs, check out peoples reply’s to her in the comments.

Oh wow! I saw that on DL’s Facebook page... I get it that the GP don’t know much about amusement park operations, but this is taking dumb to a whole new level! I’m amazed sometimes by the things GP will say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATTYCAKES Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Never be surprised, rjr. Some of the GP at Canada's Wonderland still believe our mountain rotates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliHorton Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Never be surprised, rjr. Some of the GP at Canada's Wonderland still believe our mountain rotates. Um. What? So I can get some of the things that GP say. Like, I understand why they would think some things, but thinking an entire mountain rotates? Why would they even think that?

rjr19 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 On another note, how do you guys feel about two train ops on DL coasters this year? Does the future for that look dim at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjr19 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It may be a pipe dream at this point, but I’m still hoping for a second train on ROS for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk610 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I think we are all hoping for two train operation, but I would think the only coasters that have a chance are the ones that already have a working second train like viper and predator. If motocoaster's old train is still useable that could happen, but ROS would need to be an entirely new train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 ^ As we already discovered last year, the Predator train has been cannibalized for parts, meaning that coaster is also down to one train. Viper is the only one that we know has two trains. Which means the only ones that even have a chance of multi-train operations are Viper (which is unlikely at best) and Tantrum. When Darien is willing to drop another money million dollars on another RoS train I’m sure they’ll announce it somehow like last time - but until then it’s just a pipe dream as previously said, unfortunately.

What about Mind Eraser? Has Motocoaster's second train only been used for one year? That seems like a big waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjr19 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Also...what is with Darien not posting any construction pics? I was hoping to see some TR removal pics/Tantrum construction pics...it would be kinda cool to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SbSteveZ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 What really bothers me about that rumor is the fact that there are 3 coasters within that structure that are clearly staying still, and a waterfall on the front of it. How can it rotate if the waterfall never moves and the coasters are all (hopefully) staying out?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it rotate if the waterfall never moves and the coasters are all (hopefully) staying out?! Don’t forget about Guardian’s queue that goes into the mountain...the entrance to Guardian would be constantly changing position. Also, there’s the restrooms inside the mountain as well. It’s absolutely absurd to even think there’s a possibility of that thing rotating. Sometimes the GP amaze me with what they can come up with.

Mr. Corn Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 random question that won't make the thread fall into despair and chaos (like asking about Cuda Falls, Gerstlauer Spinner for 2014, or Batman: The Escape) what "land" is Tantrum in?? does anyone know if they'll do an area revamp to accompany Tantrum?? Rowdy Ridge looks pretty solid, and that Boardwalk area looks absolutely fantastic and really freshen up the park, so I'm really hoping that they will redo the area!!

Sk610 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 That is a fantastic question, but I doubt you will see any new "themed lands" at DL anytime soon. Rowdy's Ridge and Boardwalk definitely look great, but those were added under HFE management. I don't think Premier is as interested in the themed areas as much as they are interested in adding the most thrill for the money they are allotted.
