I just now caught up on the SV news. Oh my goodness! Crash, minor injuries, keyboard engineers, testing, reopened with riders. All in one day and several pages of a TPR forum! It was like a short suspense novel lol!
Last year during Fright Fest Ninja actually had a fairly significant line. I waited in the over flow queue for the first time in my Coaster riding life lol!
As a tree lover, it is always disappointing to see such massive land clearing. But with that being said, I know it will be a beautiful finished project. And Dollywood replants I believe two trees for every one removed.
^ The only time I got to ride Gwazi was in 2003, so I was fortunate enough to not only get to experience both sides but before it apparently become horribly rough.
^ Outlaw Run is the only RMC I have been on, unfortunately. I have to admit, if it had grab bars, as nervous as I was the first time I rode it I most certainly would have been squeezing them lol!
^ I'll admit, I was a little disappointed learning about the grab bars. But after really thinking about it, no it does not make a difference at all. But I do still agree with FeelTheFORCE that the absence of a bar is a nice added intimidating touch.
