I'm planning on heading over to the mountain on Saturday. Is that a good day? I want to ride every open coaster and get some re-rides before closing time (10:30-6:00) Should this day be pretty dead in terms of crowds? EDIT- Um, my bad. Looks like it's going to be raining this whole week and into next week as well. Well maybe it wont be that bad. EDIT-- Wait. Re-checked weather looks like its going to be raining for over a week where I live but only going to be cold air at the Mountain. Yay.

Using some basic math and estimations...The total height is 235 feet, forget the tunnel. Therefore we know from pictures that the max height of the second hill is just slightly less than 235', factor in friction etc, I'm assuming 30 or so feet shorter then the original 235 feet. Now we got about 205 feet. From Pictures we can tell there is about a 10' decline in the turn around, although the drop and banking is consistent, its hard to tell where the "turn-around" ends and the drop begins. Factor in the 3 feet or so of footings at the bottom, I would guess 180-190 is a solid estimation. I think the turnaround is more like...part of the drop. Even then it's not minus 10 feet to the hill, the height of the hill is its height. Thats what I want lol. So more in the range 199-203 feet?

No. Termys already showing decay. Edit- ok not DECAY but like wood is cracking a little. - I think. -
Only thing that kinda ticks me as well about that ride is the GP's view of it. A lot of people still think its just Psyclone with a different name So...so...ugh. I don't even want to START talking about the dead weight brains some people have. And theres already people that think the red on supermans tower goes halfway down.

To the posts about the Apocalypse sign above me. They will never change it. I don't have a source but my gut tells me they don't give a rats a$s. I expect you all two years from now mocking Apocalypse in TR's by calling it "Next up, Apocalypse: The Ride" or "The Apocanator!" or "Now for Termpocalypse Salvation The Ride" etc etc, mostly because of that low quality sign. And it will never change.
