^He was saying that EK/AT was an "off the shelf" design and not custom.

Looking better and better.

Vertigo. After 1 of the towers collapsed on the one at CP Cedar Fair ripped it out of KBF quick!

Good observation. Never noticed that.

Kinzel was interested but Jack talked him out of it.

Premier and S&S (among other manufacturers) are also able to remotely monitor and troubleshoot rides. This isn't an uncommon practice among manufacturers. ^Technology is great indeed.

"Frozen" Musical is rumored to possibly replace "Aladdin" @ The Hyperion Theater in DCA. Not sure how I feel about this. I did enjoy Frozen but not sure I'd like it as a musical much less replacing Aladdin. Aladdin is a bit dated I'll admit but still thoroughly enjoyed by park guests. I remember when there were rumors of a "Toy Story" musical replacing Aladdin there was a barrage of complaints from park guests.

Now yes. Back in the 80s/90s not so much,......

^HaHa!! ^^Looking at the track itself is hard (Damn near impossible). Fabriweld manufactured track for both companies thus why they look identical. You would need to look at the trains themselves but even then it's not a for sure thing as there's Vekomas that have Arrow trains and vice-versa. Vekoma train Arrow train

Fantastic TR!! I wished CF/SF offered paid tours like Busch Gardens Parks do. LOVE this shot.

WS piece spotted in AZ already. I'm happy I'll be able to ride it again @ WOF when I visit my family in Kansas City this summer.

If you love having all of your body weight on your shoulders....then yes it is awesome.

That didn't last long......

^This. Knott's is NOT trying to compete with Disney. Knott's absolutely LOVES when Disney is busy.

^Hmm, sounds like SFMM is a pet peeve......

The way they were built made them heavier. This is what I was told by a mechanic at the park that worked on Psyclone. The whole reason B&M was contracted to build the trains was so they could be reversible and run on Colossus.

^Standard issue for a GIB

Wouldn't have made any difference.

^True story.

Yes. As far as I know they only lasted a season or 2, if that. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Coaster Gallery

Can't say we didn't see this coming..... So much for Titan being a people eater. Screamscape

^I do agree about Screamin'. As much as I like the current trains, the Intamin "open air" design would be better you're correct.

I have a couple:

You can always move to Santa Clara or Buena Park in CA.
