Us being happy sure sounds like it's going to probably be a coaster. Now that would total four new coaster experiences for the year (Iron colossus, Iron Cyclone, and the ones at SFFT and SFGAdv) which doesn't seem likely (2013 and 2014 had two major coasters) Now this is getting confusing. And exciting.

Do we know this is for sure a coaster? If it is, I'm hoping for some sort of launched coaster that goes through the quarry wall. By the way, didn't RMC say they have a steel coaster concept on the drawing board?

^Goliath will definitely be a great coaster for your 50th. Definitely try both the back and the front rows if you have time, because the both offer completely different experiences. Also, a night ride of Goliath in the front row is very fun!

Do you mean this hole in the center of the webcam? Looks like the ground was just leveled, and the hole was not filled in (the footers are at the same level above ground in the two photos.

I don't know I think it's fair for people to complain, he stole other peoples photos and claimed them as his own for his TR, as some-one who spends time and effort when I visit parks like Everland and Lotte World to provide updates to parks that aren't visited often by people here, i'd be pretty annoyed too if some-one was using them as their own on another forum to pretend they'd visited and passing it as their own hard work. Look at Robb's posts when people took his SCAD tower video and didn't give TPR credit. Now I am on the same side as you. The photos were definitely taken from the Negative - G site, and it's just bad to make a trip report of someone else's photo's and claim that they are yours.

First of all, welcome to the forums! I don't really think there will be a difference in lines from Thursday and Friday. (I went this Tuesday, and the lines were as long as it would be on a Saturday! Yikes! - proves that the lines are consistent no matter what day it is.) The single ride line is open depending on if the ride operators want it open - it's their decision. Anyways, have a good time at the park and on Goliath! You're in for a treat!

Just give coasterchitchat a break! He was nice enough to put a trip report together, and all we do is complain about it? Seems not right . . .

That's just for Wildfire because RMC signed a deal with Vekokma to use their assistance for rides outside the US Thanks for the clarification! Guess I got my facts mixed up.

I thought RMC's electrical was done by Vekoma? Could be wrong, though.

Great report! I love the "feel" of the park from you photos. The "Trojan Elephant" is awesome! And I love how the park made a path right down the line of sight of the four heartline inversions, so that the coaster would end up being very prolific.

^To further prove that point, Batman rarely has a big line whenever I visit. That's the last thing I do at night, and I usually get ten rides in because I get to stay on the train the whole time. During the ay I would be surprised to see the line over 20 minutes.

WOW! That's a big track segment! I also love how the color pops against the brown color of the other three woodies at the park.

sounds good.

Does anyone know if the steel came in yet? It doesn't appear to be visible, so I was wondering if it was behind the launch building.

Awesome! I'll have to wake up early to see it - totally worth it. Thanks for letting me know, Paula! Holiday World is definitely worth it to go there. It's one of my favorite parks, and the have the best waterpark in the world not to mention Raven and Voyage. (Legend is just kind of rough) I can only imagine what the park will be after Thunderbird takes flight. Yeah, I've been wanting to for years. Never had a "real" reason to get out there but I may just say screw it and take a road trip, (or hope TPR makes a visit there!) You totally should come! You'll thank yourself once you're there. The employees are really nice, you get free soft drinks, the park is super clean, the food is amazing ( Plymoth Rock Café), and the rides are phenomenal!

la Ronde really needs to adopt the boarding pass strategy! That park's line jumping sucks.

My vote is also for Kings Dominion's version of Flight Of Fear.

I'm excited to see that track delivery tomorrow! Holiday World is definitely worth it to go there. It's one of my favorite parks, and the have the best waterpark in the world not to mention Raven and Voyage. (Legend is just kind of rough) I can only imagine what the park will be after Thunderbird takes flight.

Another tip, this puts more pressure on your legs during the ride but if you ride with the bicycle seat a little low so it isn't pushing into your crotch, it's way better in my opinion. Exactly, many people don't realize the bicycle seat (even though it is called a seat) is not meant to be sat upon. The coaster is a stand-up coaster and you need to stand-up straight the whole ride. That's also my pet peeve. If you learn how to correctly ride standup coasters, they can actually be quite fun.

The line jumping at Great America isn't that bad - maybe I will see two groups line jump per day when I'm at the park. Also, if the passes are out of order slightly, they are pretty lenient about it, so no worries. I don't really see a problem with them recycling the De 'Ja' Vu passes, as it saves the park some cash, and it's better for the environment.

Alright. Less than a month until the announcement! I am just really hoping this turns out to be an Intamin, as I would like to see one be built in the U.S. after a hiatus. That's probably not likely, though, but I can still dream!

^I noticed that too! It was pretty cool!

^I also find it strange that X flight never seems to build up a line. It's usually only 20 - 30 minutes for that nice, good coaster, which is great! Also, I really do find Demon to be fun. I rode it ten times in a row a few weeks back as a part of the "Ten Demon Challenge". It was a little dizzying on the last ride, but fun (I got to stay on the same train, because there was no line). Next time I go, I will definitely have to give Whizzer at night a ride, due to the hype about it. It seems like some people really like it!

I don't know if this was posted yet, but just in case anyone missed the live stream announcement here it is:

I think they wanted a highly dependable ride that wouldn't break down often. Rule out Intamin. They wanted something smooth, something enjoyable for families, so rule out Vekoma. Will's dream was a winged coaster (apparently), so rule out Mack. I think holiday World made a great choice picking B&M, so I hope this rides as good as it looks! Yes, but at least we won't get as hungry in the afternoon ... And Prozach626, X-Flight still has the sound on the lift.
