Does anyone know if the headlights on the Steel Vengeance trains will actually light up, as in the animated TV commercial? I hope so- that would look AWESOME!
I'm so glad I got to ride "Tsunami" the very weekend that it opened. It was incredibly aggressive, and of course still smooth enough because it was brand spanking new. I shudder to think of how it is these days!
If you're 20 years old then I doubt that you were on the 1927 version of the Wildcat.
It was rebuilt by Dinn/Summers in 1986.
I was lucky to get on the original version. It had fixed lap bars and I remember having to grab on as I was sliding up and out!
For some reason, I haven't been on Talon and Hydra in a while. I do plan on riding them tomorrow though also Possessed,
Trust me, I ain't talking about Hydra. Have a great time on Talon & Possessed though!
Agreed! Actually Talon is one of my favorite B&M Inverts. It's smooth, fast and so re-rideable. At one of the Enthusiast Events I rode it 47 times in one day! I would have made 50 but a huge thunderstorm shut down the Park early.
I get the jokes and all, and like I said, it's just a pet peeve of mine. I sort of feel that people who are going to speak with any sort of "authority" on a subject matter aka "theme park enthusiasts" should at least know how to properly spell the terms of the things they are trying to speak about, that's all.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Robb! This drives me crazy!!!
Exactly! For me it's a case of "I reeeeeeeallllly hope these restraints don't fail" as I am looking straight down 200 feet for those 4 seconds on the holding brake.
It's a very unique and exciting feeling!
