I thought those were from electrical work this offseason (I think either HWFan mentioned this or I must have the wrong park..)

This video is the same source video, sped up 1.5x (source: author's comment). Due to that, it can show more track in the alloted time. This is for a comparison.

It's okay to post the link. And mother of god. I can just hear it riiiiiipp.

^While many dislike Prozach as he is (generally speaking) very critical and pessimistic, that, my friend, is sarcasm. (Look at the grammer, spelling, and drama.) Oh, and it's more satire than just sarcasm.. but who cares?

Wood is wood to the GP. Don't think for one minute that they care about who made it. They will likely think that Dollywood made it (we know this as in house production). I think you missed his point, though. Lightning Rod will be far smoother than a traditional woodie, and the GP is not so stupid as to think: "Ow! This is rougher than the new one!"

Seeing how visiable joker is from the entrance, it would be neat to give it a colorful lighting package. Nothing fancy but just something.

Tower of Terror's at WDW is fantastic. Absolutely one of my favorite structures, ever. Manta and Vempesto had a pretty good ones (the latter at the expense of BBW).

Well - we do always want more airtime.

The 2016 Season map is out: https://static.sixflags.com/website/files/sfsl_park-map-and-guide.pdf

A friend of mine happens to be at the park today and she is sending pictures. Here is one: Notice the progress on repainting the tunnel. The difference is very distinguishable.

I hope to see some headcopper and treechopper galore! Virginia lacks a good wooden coaster. The fact that the ride is (or will hopefully be) in the woods and follow the terrian is why everyone is excited. No matter who you are, it's hard to deny that GCI doesn't make fun wooden coasters. Comfort is hit or miss but the MF trains make up with some softness goodiness!

^Read back a couple of pages

I cannot wait to see a wooden coaster diving low to the ground through this next year! Photo credits: BGWFans.com FaceBook I would expect it to be low to the ground based on the stats and 60ft above grade restriction (see pdf).

Oops - yep, 4.

Looks like it will cross the train tracks twice an go under the access road (plans call for a TAM ? bridge over the ride's trench). On the return it will run alongside the train and cross under itself. And sorry to those looking for it to go into Le Scoot's valley. It wont. It will however go twice under the turns right after Le Scoot's lifts. If you go to page 6, you can see the rest of the picture posted above me, which does include Alpengiest's situation. It will be across the ravine to project 2017 and will not interact.

No Woodstock Express cult? At all?

The Gear VR has a cover that you can put over the phone... And I'm sure Six Flags considered using the covers on the VR head sets, however... 1.) It's not that secure. It kind of just loosely snaps in place. Which I am sure on a roller coaster that provides decent g-forces the cover may not stay in place, and Six Flags probably didn't want random covers flying off mid ride. 2.) Using the cover causes the phone to over heat much faster. My partner and I have a Gear VR for our phones, and if we use the headset with the cover on the phone, the phone will over heat after about 30 minutes of use. We will get an error saying "the Gear VR has over heated, and needs to cool off," and the phone will shut off. If we use the headset without the cover on the phone the phone will not over heat at all. I'm sure almost continuous use of the Gear VR at Six Flags with the cover might have caused over heating issues. This may be another reason Six Flags decided NOT to use the covers. Anyway, after using our own personal Gear VR, and knowing how immersive the headset is, and I can not wait to get out to Six Flags and try this out. It really feels a lot less like "Strapping a phone to your face..." and more like "entering a whole new world." It's really amazing at how realistic the VR headset is. A) Gear VR and Six Flags could have worked together to re-engineer the cover's latch or simply have found a way to drill a set screw into the cover. B) Drill holes into the front of the VR. The inflow from the coaster's speed should cool them greatly. Not to mention they are cleaned after every use anyway.

It's about redundancy.

Dare Devil Dive is getting the VR at Over Georgia, not Ninja. There is a chance they will be moving the VR to Ninja but there is no real evidence supporting that. SFOG is advertising Ninja as "The All New Ninja" coming in summer 2016. We already know it is getting a repaint (which is unnecessary but I understand it helps market it) but I think we will see new trains with vest restraints since SFOG's Ninja is a great ride, just with a head banging issue for people who aren't tall enough to be above the restraints. Ah, thank you for clearing this up. The "All New Ninja" threw me off for a minute to think it was getting the VR. I forgot it is truely DDD get it.

Ninja at SFOG is being repainted for the VR. Does anyone think our Ninja will get some as well? The 2016 park map shows their Ninja as blue and white. Our map has not been updated for 2016 yet.

Why don't we just throw some glitter on all the RMC's? Everything is better with glitter!

Nah; it would diminish the beauty of the Eagle. I would rather see a hyper on the side of the park with the drop facing the parking lot.

There's no way that Goliath will be better than this. Haha, it's funny that you say that. I think this is my favorite new RMC, and Lightning Rod is my least favorite. I guess I am just weird.

I wouldn't be opposed to any B&M coming to SDC. I think that an Invert would be amazing to have on the side of a hill to use the terran as a "footchopper" throughout much of the ride. Realistically, I would expect it to be a dive coaster. It is basically unknown to this region and would be incredibly easy to theme to SDC. Branson is a "tourist" town. Most of the visitors come from other cities. Included in those neighboring cities are St. Louis and Kansas City, and both have inverts already. IF, and only IF, the B&M one-hundred mile exclusive zone is true (which i personally will not believe in until it has been confirmed, but given evidence and logical argument of its existence, I do at least consider the possibility and viewpoint sometimes when formulating speculations), then 2017 would align to be the first available year for a new installation of an invert. A hyper would be neat but not the first choice for me. I wouldn't mind it if it didn't penetrate into the skyline - which would imply that it must have a small lift and a very long drop (using the terrain to achieve this). A difference even more than that of Apollo's Chariot and Goliath. Think of Phantom's revenge if it were a B&M, starting from the second hill. In that likeness - even have the overbanks follow the ground closely.
