^Pretty bold statement. You are however, entitled to your opinion.............However wrong it may be.

^Cedar Fair and SF have steered clear of these for some reason. SeaWorld parks are the only ones in the US with them. I've only been on JTA @ SWSD & SWSA and loved them both.

Sad to hear. Can't say I didn't see this coming, however. I've been visiting SWSD at least 3 times a year for the past 25 years. I know what they stand for and support them 100% as well as the rest of the SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment family. I have a feeling it might get worse before it gets better. I sincerely hope I'm wrong......

^Clearly! Maybe Sandor took a ride on Gatekeeper and it hasn't been the same since.......

^That's my thought. I can't see any other reason for a crane.

Thanks............................... I was more-so looking to see if anyone knew the cause.

So........Anyone know what this is about? Source

This! Just, This!

Oh ok, well I stand corrected. One day S&S, one day.

WOW! DEFINITELY a great expansion for the park. Also, Happy for S&S for actually selling another drop tower.

I assumed it was in the station as well. Most likely a fault that was unable to be reset in a timely manner so management just made the decision to EVAC and fix the issue once all the riders have been removed. Edit: Looks like the last row of riders is being taken off.

^LOL. EVAC should be fairly quick. I have EVAC'd riders off of Silver Bullet's "Main Brake" numerous times and it doesn't take that long because by that point, most of the Rides department supervisors and managers as well as maintenance personnel are on scene so the process goes pretty smoothly as long as all of the riders are calm and cooperative.

^Watching right now. Looks like they are going to be EVACing the riders from the train.

To be fair, both sides would run 3 trains each for the first summer. Then 1 side, 2 trains. I mean honestly, How long has it been since Tatsu or Goliath ran 3 trains?

On a Tuesday...when their coasters haven't run at full capacity in many years. Sounds legit! Ha!

^Keep in mind, members of this forum know how to operate a park better than the park's management.

Agreed. My concern as well considering Hershey can get INSANELY busy. They will make the best of it and I still believe it's a great addition.

How do we know they denied Mack? Not doubting you just curious where that information came from. Also, We all know that Hershey isn't known for turning down prototypes. Skyrush and Fahrenheit say hi.

Looks like one of Maverick's trains stopped just before the drive tires.... Source

^I think "Launch Coaster" was meaning "Start Video."

It's not an Aquatrax, but It'll do. This looks to be a great addition for the park. Excuse me if I missed it, but is the Height requirement 42"?

^Something to be said for that!

I honestly don't see Cedar Fair jumping to install this prototype in one of their parks. I'm going with a SF park.

Premier & Intamin usually ship their launch track without LSMs installed.

While it is disappointing they had their 2015 budget cut (rumored), I doubt they were getting anything noteworthy. Maybe a flat ride or 2 and/or some new entertainment offerings?
