Love that they are actually fixing up a few needed rides as opposed to just removing them. I wonder if EPR is trying to sell to SF?
-
I would not be surprised if SF does not "brand" rides at SFDL because they only operate the park, not own it. If the were to officially purchase it from EPR, then they would have more skin in the game and I bet you would see characters everywhere
-
If they have a second train for Motocoaster, they need to run it more often. That coaster has some of the longest lines in the park. I have not seen it on the transfer track, so I just figured the second train was used for parts
-
But viper actually has a second train they could use, they just choose not to. For ROS and Moto, they need to go purchase new trains
-
I know most days the park isn't that busy, but from a service standpoint they really should have two trains for ROS, Motocoaster and Tantrum. They don't have to run them daily but when needed
-
If they are spending money to fix the Boomerang, hopefully they have ordered new trains for ROS and Motocoaster at the very least
-
Screamscape is saying SFDL is getting 3 new pieces of track for Boomerang. I have not ridden it in a long time, but it was always pretty smooth. Any thoughts on where it will go? My understanding is it could use a new lift motor more than anythjng
-
SFDL posted on their FB page a flat bed trailer with a bunch of Titan Track on it. Hopefully more shows up in the coming days. Where on it do you think it will go? I think either the third turnaround or the two hills after the second turnaround.
-
I am seeing almost all the other SF parks making their announcements hoping SFDL has at least something coming this year. They seem to be spending a good amount of money this year, so I am hopeful
-
Has anyone been to the park this year yet? Wondering if any of the small upgrades I keep hearing about at other SF parks happened at DL?
-
I have a feeling it's just that first turnaround. If you take a look, there is new wood to the left of the track. I don't see it anywhere else in that picture
-
Apparently Big Kahuna's conveyor belt broke and fried the motor, so either that needs to be replaced or the entire slide needs to go. Not sure what's up with Heave Ho, but it's such a small footprint that you couldn't put much in that spot. The Closed for the season post is very weird considering the park doesn't open until May
-
^agreed 100%. A good classic wooden coaster is a thing of beauty. Companies like GCI were making these wooden coasters with highly banked twisting drops and lateral movements. The just didn't hold up. Give me The Comet at Great Escape or Blue Streak at CP over those any day
-
Sorry, it's hard to tell. I just saw the turn. Hopefully they show updates soon or at least say what parts are getting the new track
-
Looks like they are at least doing the first main turnaround at the very least. I hope it's not just that turn but a few other rough spots too
