Santa still hasn't reached the coaster desert yet...so while I wait... here's the official ArieForce One POV for everyone else! (Animation quality their's, not mine )

Here's our setup for the holidays... ~ Happy Holidays to All ~ With flash. Without flash. Ho ho ho.

You will have much better luck with Uber and Lyft if you schedule your rides in advance. Never had an issue getting one when needed anywhere in So Cal with that method.

Shockwave at Great America also had 4; 2 red and 2 yellow (one later painted blue). Six Flags really pushed capacity back in the day; especially cared about customer service and didn't have pay-to-cut. Magic Mountain always had extra trains on hand; Revolution had 6 and ran 5. Colossus was built and intended to run 10 (!?!) but only ended up ever running 6 at a time. Related... at Great America, we had 3 on Demon - ran with out stacking. American Eagle had 6 until a minor collision in 1985 (it was nice to always see 2 trains on the lift). Whizzer ran up to 5, and still has 5 (rotating them in and out through awesome full-rehabs every year; there were 3 on the track this November). I've always said Great America was the one hold-out for at least trying for good ops. Viper could have run 4, but Arrow sometimes designed very short blocks and brake-runs. Like Tennesee Tornado; they only run one because stopping a second on that stupid-short brake run "tears everything up." One more thing on Viper, Love it! Happy it's still here - without those wretched rubber vests (I know some people like those). Rode Viper in May, during the 3 hours I could stand at Magic Mountain. Mostly there for X2, Revolution and Ninja. I like old sh*t

Is there another train option!? PTC trains are heavy and harsh on tracks. As soon as the tracks become a little loose those trains beat them pretty good. Bring back the light and spacious Morgan trains!
