Disneyland Resort (DL, DLR, DCA) Discussion Thread

[ECZenith]

This is Disney we're talking about. I'm sure they're planning on SELLING the old loop.

[flyingspin]

I'm glad I rode Screamin 3 times last weekend! (love that single rider pass).

 

[speedracer]

Hopefully the new loop with be alot smoother, was the only spot on the entire ride where there was very noticeable vibration and shaking, just stood out so much due to the rest of the ride being so glass smooth. Better yet, wish they were permanently removing the pointless loop so they could also remove the equally pointless OTSH's.

[PhishyBrewer]

I wonder if they're going to scrap the old loop. You think if I sent them a box, they'd ship it to me?

 

I went to see if they put it up for sale on ebay, but all I found was this

 

[speedracer]

^ Looks like a fun ride!

[SharkTums]

Derek, just send a box and ask for either part of the loop or a turtle...oh wait, that didn't work so well for one of our other members did it?!?!?

[Ryan King]

*Sigh*

 

Still no reply...

[arrowfanman]

Update! Thanks to XP over at MouseTimes!...

 

Oh WOW that looks weird!

 

"Do you see what I see?"

 

Glad to know the SunWheel is good for something! Here you can really see the construction on F***** Mania, as a whole.

 

I like the string that is holding the two halfs together.

 

I blame Elissa.

 

Check out the full update, HERE!

 

 

 

 

Now some people are saying that the removal is principally to give cranes better access to remove the buildings down there--but I like my story better--its more dramatic and cool.

HAHA! My rodents are tearing it down!! I love it!

[coasterfreak101]

Wow, that looks really weird! It just doesn't look...normal!

 

You know, Chip 'n' Dale do look oddly suspicious in that picture...wait, what am I talking about? They always look suspicious!

Luna Park in Sydney might buy it as a Summer special Offer, like most of their other rides that are slightly ok.

 

-----Fake Press Conference------

"This summer, experience the Mad Mouse like never before! For 3 months only, the mad mouse Roller Coaster with have a loop-Dee-loop!"

 

I can imagine that happening...

[Calaway Park]

Woo! I have to get to America somehow, this coaster looks cool.

[Xme3]

Ha ha, that wasn't that great anyhow, even though I thought that it was only thing that made the ride a little more fun (well, after the half tunnels)

[Zen Coaster]

And here I was going to blame Carmen Sandiego...

[CycloneMan]

I didn't know it closed for a refurb!

 

Mayeb they are trimming the loop like Galaxy Express 999 .

 

-Dainan " " Rafferty

[Top Thrill Dragster]

I hope they get rid of the trims since they are going to get a stronger loop.

[the sound]

And here I was going to blame Carmen Sandiego...

LOL! She still stole the Casablanca Airport though!

[steel]

^She also stole Mall of America and Mt. Rushmore, I believe.

 

Wow, I didn't know about this until just now. That's really odd.

[PCW FREAK]

What is with parks tearing down inversions all of the sudden? Though at least unlike SOB it's not the only thing the ride is good for.

[Wes]

^ READ THE EFFING THREAD!!

 

**THE LOOP IS GETTING REPLACED WITH ANOTHER LOOP THAT WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME**

[mrfantasmic]

Hm. Replaced + reworked loop would be nice. This would be a good opportunity to beef it up, since they've had 5 years to work with it.

Of course, Intamin doesn't even acknowledge this as one of their coasters anymore, so where are they getting the loop?

*Imagines a Vekoma loop on an Intamin ride*

[kennywood!007]

Hopefully SoB will get replaced..Change your mind Cedar Fair!!! Grr.

[snuggles]

I still can't believe SOB has been oved to disney and half the loop is missing

[arrowfanman]

Update!...

 

By time the park closed last night, the loop had been fully rebuilt and around noon today, California Screamin reopened!

 

 

 

 

 

Just to put this into perspective for you--

 

On Sunday, my local Walmart's photo-printer broke.

On Sunday, California Screamin' closed down due to Mania's construction.

 

...on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Disney removed a good chunk of the ride's loop, rebuilt it, and retested the ride.

 

On Thursday, California Screamin' reopened to the public.

On Thursday, Fujifilm is still scratching their heads over the Walmart machine.

 

 

 

I know Disney maintenance gets a lot of heat for, you know...killing someone on BTMRR, but you gotta hand it to them sometimes!--they do a damn good job!

 

...and yes, X is still closed.

Man, California Screamin is gonna suck now without the loop. That was my favorite part of the ride.
