I was there on Saturday, and I can confirm that Tatsu was running one station, at least in the morning. When I walked by the station later the line was out behind the soda counter. Two trains. That's interesting because I rode Tatsu twice on Saturday, once around 4:30 and again around 7:30, and both times they were using both stations and the line was only filling about 1/2 to 2/3 of the switchbacks. It was about a 35-45 minute wait. I saw it at ~12:00, so the line probably died down before you saw it

600 PPH totally smokes Xcelerator's capacity though, so that may not be much a problem for a park like Knott's. ??? Xcelerator has a capacity of 1,300 PPH, according to both RCDB and Wikipedia. I don't think that a ride with half the PPH "totally smokes" Xcelerator in capacity

Amen. Riptide always rode rough

I need pictures! Anyway, even with no source, I hope this is the case. The all-white loop is such an iconic element that defacing it with blue would cause all sorts of uproar, and not just on TPR. But hey, they've got enough blue paint to paint it blue again after deciding that the all-white wasn't good enough

Took some photos when I was at the park on Friday and Tuesday. Riptide was the only ride closed on Friday, on Tuesday Montezooma and Surfside Gliders were closed. I rode Xcelerator 18 times combined during the visits. Xcelerator had a max 15 min line all day, both days. Rode it 18 times by the end of the second visit. Taken from Silver Bullet's station Lines were nonexistent both days I was there. Silver Bullet ran 2 trains, never broke a station wait. Maintenance on Surfside Gliders, Knotts' Larson Flying Scooters Boomerang looking pretty, riding ugly If you ever have the chance to marathon a Schwarzkopf shuttle loop in the back row, do it. I left after 9 runs, only because the park closed

As of now, this is my current route. If anyone has any tips on how to take the parks, as well as good food, must-rides, travel info, and hotels nearby, they would be very welcome! Thanks to everybody for helping me with this! Current route: Knoebels and Hershey

I am going to Dickinson College for a couple of weeks during the summer. As any sane coaster enthusiast would, I am trying to fit at least one theme park into my trip. I am already aware of HersheyPark, Kennywood, and Knoebels, and would like to know if there is any other parks I do not know about. Any insight to which parks I should go to and travel arrangements is welcome. Thanks!

I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain today to process my Season's Pass and ride Twisted Colossus (Which broke down and later in line someone barfed in Orange Train), when I noticed crews painting The New Revolution. Here are some of the photos I took. The blue paint looks really good in my opinion. Station work and track painting Inside of station Blue supports!

None yet . But hopefully I can get around to processing my gold pass at SFMM and get some airtime-filled RMC goodness! Also dueling would be nice, if ops allow.

Yay for double downs and Legend retracking! It wasn't stated, but we might see the old rolling stock replaced by Millennium Flyers. Also, I hope that they don't touch the banking on those turns, we can't lose those CCI laterals!

Any flying coaster...said no one ever. In reality, it would probably be Thunderbolt at KennyWood, as there is pops of air and good laterals to toss you around, but nothing too extreme enough to throw you out.

Pretty self-explanatory. What theme park trips have you taken that worked really well? Anything way better than you thought, or far worse than you thought? I live in So-Cal, so California trips are out of the question for me.

Disaster Transport: -Built by Intamin -Demolished for Gatekeeper -Was originally outdoors -Renovated in 1990 Next ride: Ring Racer

I just happened to be browsing Intermark Ride Group's used coasters, and among the piles of Flitzers and Zyklons I found this set of Timberliner trains going for $550,000. Because of their color and their manufacturing date (2010), I was lead to believe that these were the Timberliners intended to be installed on The Voyage. Can anybody confirm or deny this? And if they weren't so pricey, I would totally buy the lead car as a piece of furniture.

But the real question will be, since it is sponsored by and based of an EA game, will there be an upcharge for the full simulator, or does admission only get the video screen

Since Christmas is just around the corner, and I know some coaster enthusiasts (I'm using their account to post) who would totally enjoy a rollercoaster gift, what are some inventive, fun, or just plain cool rollercoaster gifts?

Hi Robb, Elissa, and others, Due to your experience with coaster trips, I decided that you were the best people to ask about the best itineraries for coaster trips that have a good combination of parks, culture, coasters, food, and fun! Also, I live in LA, with relatives in NoCal, so I've already done the West Coast Bash parks as well as CGA, SFDK, and Santa Cruz Boardwalk. So what trips worked well for you, with a good balance of everything. Thanks!

2001 posts! Granted, but Twisted Colossus is down, X2 has a typical four hour line, and Tatsu is running one train. (typical day here) I wish I could coaster-marathon the east coast plus Cedar Point!

Hi guys! I have been trying to work on a park to post here, and also get up to standard, and I am getting stuck on paths and a plaza with a flowerbed centerpiece. Does anyone have any suggestions of CS, easy tactics, or other possible ways to make it look better. Any replies help!

Oh, my mistake. I meant northeast.
