Love this addition! Although I wish that they didn't use different colored tracks for each side of the ride, I'm very happy to see RMC realize that getting a roller coaster to duel with two stations at a Six Flags park is not going to happen... Great to go with the "if you can't change them, join them!" I'm sure they will have some sort of computer program that will allow the chains to change speed so that the trains leave at the same time at the top of the hill...

I must say, I'm very impressed by this addition! Although I do wish that the track was a different color, I like the gray and orange look. This is a very nice addition to the park. Amazing that flashback is still there though... I would've expected them to take it out and add an extra helix into the ride.

Although I am not happy about this addition, and refuse to label it as a roller coaster, I truly hope that they are planning on spending a serious amount of money this upcoming season on upgrading infrastructure and beautifying the park. That, plus the addition of something substantial next season will allow me to forgive them for this mediocre at best addition. Do we have any idea exactly where the ride is going?

Paula! There was a question about sand inside the track for Thunderbird! Hoping there won't be so this puppy can roar! Can you confirm? -
I went to Coney Island Luna Park last night on a whim with a friend of mine and I have to say that the Cyclone felt smoother than it did at the TPR event, but Thunderbolt's first three elements were excessively shaky compared to where it was a few weeks ago... I really hope they have a plan for the off season to fix this problem, otherwise this ride will not age well at all...

I'm sure it's for an access road or something that's not in the video... -
It really drives me nuts when a new development is built next to an amusement park, and then they complain about the noise coming from the park. The park was there first, you decided to move into the development knowing that there was an amusement park next to it. Why are you surprised that you're hearing noise coming from the park all the time... I know that we are the odd people out here, and would love a view of an amusement park from our bedroom windows. But it drives me nuts when people come into a new neighborhood and complain about things that were there before they got there...

The drop angle isn't truley that important on B&M rides... The floater air you get on the way down leviathan's first drop is magical! This will be a great ride! I hope to make it down there next season, I'm working on my trip plan now! -
