Have you learned what sarcasm is in school yet?

Some enthusiasts need to get over themselevs. Boo hoo it wasn't what you wanted. It's a great announcement for these kids and thier families.

That midway is too small for a large concert like Point Fest. I think they learned that when they had Carly Rae Jepsen play in 2012 when the only easy way from let's say Dragster to Millennium was to walk around the back of the park.

Are you trolling on purpose or do you actually think that's plausible?

B&M trains are shipped out from overseas likely in a shipping container. The plant only manufactures the track and supports.

You mean lean forward and enjoy, right? I enjoy sitting back in row six throwing my hands up with no neck chopping or head banging involved. And I get of the ride without any moaning or complaints about the restraint.

^ And those are also the same people that would choose to ride a coaster over having sex .

Could you please cite your source where you heard / saw this fact your stating ?

There is so much face-palming in this thread. Some of you are not even using logic behind what you're saying.

They said they were getting rid of Cyclone, Rattler, and most of the RMC makeovers as well.

All intamin rides have a 6' 6" hight maximum

And those are the reasons why we most likely will never see a Mega-lite in the states. I've notice when compared to other countries, most Americans can't handle a high intensity ride.

There are two things wrong with this statement.....In the three years(2010-2012) I worked the ride, I can tell you we had substantial waits for the ride running three trains. Secondly, Several people get off the ride enjoying it.

Cool, in other news I just took a breath.

That machines breakdown.

^ Not everyone has the same opinions as you. < Moral of this thread right now.

The metal thing in the middle of Storm Chaser is to keep the cables from slamming the tower. It rests on top of the gondola when it reaches it.

The only reason they are doing this is for the free national attention. Wether YOU like it or not, you have to agree that it is a smart marketing decision.

3 and 4 look like they are station/ brake run pieces flipped upside down so they are resting on their rails.

The size of the seatbelts are mandated by Intamin. And yes while the other impulses in the chain are less restrictive they are slightly smaller, slower, and don't have a twisted back spike, thus causing different forces on the body in different directions then Wicked Twister. The ride is the parks most restrictive coaster when it comes to size of a person.

Thank you guys for such kind words and I'm happy that night is still being talked about. It was the best day I've ever had being a ride host.

What if they redid their floor-less trains to have the new vests like they redid their Inverted trains?

I just received word from my Manager that we will be closed tomorrow as well.

Speaking as a ride host, I wish we had a no lose article policy for every ride or at least every coaster. It would help us out a lot. Some people do not have the urgency to get back to there seats in a timely fashion to send the train at interval.

Just a heads up to anyone heading to the point for Coastermania festivities. I'll be at Dragster for the ERT, so come stop by.
