WOW! Great addition! I was under the impression it wouldn't be a Discovery but I'm glad to find out I'm wrong. This looks incredible, gotta make plans to visit Fiesta Texas next summer!
I was expecting a Skywarp but I'll gladly take this instead! From what I understand Mardi Gras Hangover is actually quite a bit of fun! Not a bad addition to our growing flat collection!
The fastest ride in park history would be the old wooden Rattler at 73mph. The tallest is a tie between Scream (S&S Tower) and Skyscreamer (Funtime Starflyer) both 200ft.
Oh sh*t, sorry. I didn't know you were both a Diamond Elite member AND a member of the prestigious "Texas Thrillseekers" Facebook group.
In that case, yeah... get your last rides in now.
I'm not continuing this. I apologize if I've upset anyone.
So a bunch of enthusiasts want it gone under the guise that Six Flags (the company that just built a coaster with 9 passenger trains in the same state) cares about capacity even though the ride seems to be in great shape and people seem to enjoy it? Got it.
I can only speak for myself. My personal opinion is that La Vibora will eventually be removed and replaced with something else, although it may not happen for a few more years yet. But that's just me. I live less than 10 mins away from the park and am a Diamond Elite Member. The well being of my home park is something I strongly care about.
^ The ride is a low capacity nightmare which is over 30 years old. Amongst us members of The Texas Thrillseekers it has long been rumored that the ride will eventually be removed and possibly sent to another park. We'll have to wait and see.
If it's opening January 12th then it can't be a coaster. If it were a coaster, then construction would have already begun. My guess is a Drop Tower of some kind. At first I thought Giant Discovery, but Jeffrey Siebert seems to have put that rumor to bed.
