^^ Is Ninja even a walk on even with one train operation???

I'm picking YOLOcoaster. I'm thinking the terrain coaster is going to be pretty nice and also, it's going to be one of kind for the time being.

Welcome Jesse!!! Congrats on the 7.5 years with your hubby and wish you guys many more.

I'll say my vote goes for The Boss at SFStL. It's already a great layout but just needs topper track and some new trains and it can be more tolerable.

Grumpy Cat is the best. Hehe

^^ you're right, It's going to be 2 train operation and no MCB.

^^ My understanding is that the testing with half the train is to ensure the train gets around the entire course with no issues. If it valley's somewhere on the course, it's easier for them to remove half the train than an entire train. I dunno, I could be wrong. Anyone else got insight on this from the NTAG testing???

^^ I agree the train looks amazing. I guess we might be seeing some "short train" testing like they did on NTAG any time now.

Sprite

^^ And with that said, that's the next ride I hope SFStL gets.

As nice as it would be to see SFStL get a nice new coaster, a lot of the negativity about this one Boomerang make me hope the park keeps getting used rides from other parks. Maybe the next coaster will be a used B&M???

Yeh....uh no. LET IT GO ALREADY!!!! No one here gives a crap and I'm sure neither does anyone in Mexico.

^^ Why....just because you don't think it's a great addition to the park?? Give me a freakin break. They should have added anything to the park this year. Just another case of the SFAFanboy syndrome. Complain complain complain

^^ Nice. Hope we can get some progress photos soon.

Well...I moved to Arizona about 7 years ago and I'm not creative....and "ArizonaGuy" was created.

Probably the stupidest thing on the net getting attention right now.

^^ Hmmm maybe 15 to 30 minutes???? I haven't heard of anything yet.

OMG this picture is abso-f'ing-lutely amazing!!!! And as someone posted in a previous post, I've never seen the water that clear before even when I was a CrackAxle ride op back in the day. Hopefully we get to see pictures of finished trains sometime soon.

^^ I agree. IRat is really gonna put the park on the map. It's going to be intense from start to finish. I personally don't think the park was "struggling" as previously posted. SFFT may not be the park in the chain with the most attendance in the chain but I'm sure it's bring in the revenue needed to hold it's ground especially in a smaller metro area with a competing park 10 miles away, iRat is going to solidify that. Now if that Boardwalk coaster in that post a few pages back happens in a few years it's gonna be just that much better.

^^ I was thinking the exact same thing. Brown or orange would have been a nice complimenting color to iRat.

The original first drop had the open shed covering the bottom of the first drop. After they put down the track for iRat, it looks like they're doing the same thing. There are several pictures where this is noticeable. You can see the wood shed dip from left to right across the picture. Also look closely in the foreground and you can see the gray metal I-beams going across and slanting downward to the right for the last drop.

Aren't they going to have to modify the lift supports because of hill that it's going to be sitting on?

$3.59 to $3.74 in North Phoenix/Scottsdale

That's what I hate about gay society today. I don't understand guys think being bitchy and rude is a part of being gay. If that be the case...I totally missed it. I moved from San Antonio to Phoenix a little over 7 years ago and the first thing that I noticed was that there is WAY too much attitude in this city than there needs to be. All my friends say that the attitude has trickled over from LA but quite honestly.....I've been out clubbing in West Hollywood and I've encountered much nicer people there than I have here in Phoenix. I dunno...I think sometimes the bitches need to be gathered up for a nice little group slap. *steps off soap box*

^^ I totally agree. I only like watching Drag Race when they're out on the runway showing off for the judges. All that bitchy crap in between has gotten really old. I guess the drama just comes along with the part.
