I've never heard of them, and too bad it wasn't them that got evicted.

Anyone else watch this show and have any predictions on who will get evicted tonight?

Intamin and Giovanola and B&M
simaticable replied to coloradocoasterguy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Giovanola was a the main track fabricator and subcontractor for those guys for a long time before going under. At the last stages of this companies life they built 3 rides, anaconda , Titan and Goliath. Case closed. Okay, so that explains why Giovanola track looks like B&M. They were already making the track so that's what they used. But that doesn't explain why the track design didn't stay with Intamin. It was because Intamin never owned the track design. The people behind B&M worked for Giovanola actually, so they kept the track design not Intamin. Intamin only got the track design when they built their stand ups and Flashback, but that was when Giovanola was the subcontractor. -

I wonder if it has to do with the cinnamon bread. -
Dollywood Discussion Thread

Actually, Taron isn't opened yet, so no one can have any bragging rights about riding it. -
That's obviously photoshopped. I don't think so. It looks legit to me. Literal By the way, the one thing (besides the early start on land prep) that makes me think a large coaster addition is actually possible, is that Carowinds just added a dynamic, marquee coaster in Fury. Now, if you're from the area, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that be SFOG's biggest competition on the market? Six Flags nay be feeling the heat to respond, and maybe a B&M Wing Coaster or RMC Goliath type coaster is what they feel would snag some of the attention back. Just a thought... Dollywood is also 4 hours from the park, and many people from Atlanta go to Dollywood as well, and they have opened 3 new coasters, including a record breaking RMC, in the span that SFOG opened DDD

I really can't see Monster Mansion closing without giving it a proper send off if at all. The ride is one of the original attractions and seems to have a long wait all day let alone it being one of the few true dark rides the chain owns. The fact that they've renovated it several times now tells me that they want to keep it around for as long as possible.

You know that would also affect yourself. So you want to deactivate your account next month? Who said he'd be voted off? -
I can't see it being Monster Mansion simply because not only did it open with the park, but it also just got a renovation a few years ago. I feel like it it was that or one of the original rides, the park would have said "a ride that opened with the park." The fact that they mentioned 30+ years specifically makes me think it is Splashwater Falls simply because the other two water rides are a lot more popular, and Splashwater Falls sits on prime real estate, but that's just my opinion. If Mind Bender is the one they're talking about, I'm sure the backlash would be even greater than when Whizzer at Great America was going to be removed.

I thought it has been reported multiple times that the old Batman track has been stored improperly for far too long, and that it would cost nearly the same amount as a new coaster to make it usable again, so why would the park spend roughly the same amount of money to fix a rough stand up when it could buy a brand new coaster? I mean, if they really wanted to use the old Batman coaster, they probably would have by now.

Hacking using trainers if on regular RCT2 or using zero clearances in ORCT2 to do it. -
Game:Coaster Facts!

I feel like this thread is just Darienlaker going through the same rides over and over again and at least one person replying before he does again. -

When I search "#itllneveropen" on this site, I get nearly 80 posts about the ride. Clearly, Guy is right and has brought out the truth about Lightning Rod. Now I just need a puppy from Dolly, so I can bring it to the world's largest bonfire. #itllneveropen
