Im sorry to pudge in on 5 other pages i have yet to read..but wanted to brag that i got to hit the coaster on top of the Strat. before thery closed it!

 

Has all the track been removed yet? I know they took off a little of it, but they were having problems as to where they were gunna put all the track. I mean you cant exactly get a 114 story crane, and just drop the track...wheres it all gunna go?

OMG stacking on Canyon blaster is horrid. Being on the train that is being stacked sucks!!! It stopps so hard in B block it isnt even funny! You hear everyone scream OWWWWW!!!

When they run two trains i have to give it to the attendants there, they have to dispatch the other train once the other train goes through the second loop otherwise the train coming back to the station will abruptly stop at the transfer area..

 

I was there during Christmas week/New Years 1995 and they were running two trains the entire time. I will give them some pretty good credit- they avoided stacking the trains as much as possible- to the point of being obscenely fast in many cases- Outside of the Tennesee Tornado (Also a great Arrow coaster- well worth the, um, 'Dueling Banjos' populous of Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg) I have never seen such well choreographed movement of crew- they worked their backsides off to keep things rolling.

 

That having been said, yes...

OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!!!

 

Whoever designed those brakes must have been big on pain in his/her life- those brakes not only stopped on a dime, but the train picked it up and gave back 8 cents.

No, there is still a couple hundred feet left I'd guess, and even some pieces that are sitting up there waiting for a ride down. They are being cut up into short pieces and taken down by elevator... no way will it be salvaged
