DJeXeL Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Park is closed during the week so updates will be sporadic at best..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 There are updates over at SFNEO, track has been installed from the brakes all the way to the top of the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Seems like they are really progressing. Anyone think this will actually be open on time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Wait, Im confused, Did you forget what park this was being built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Remember people, this is a RMC crew building this, not some crew SF hired off the street. Don't even bring up Goliath last year either. Considering they started in September, the fact they had the ride completed by June is quite remarkable.

RMC has experience with topper track on woodies, so I do actually think this can get done on time considering the rate this is going up. I'm not saying opening day, but sometime in the spring ballpark. You ^^ can call me crazy, but I think this could be built on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsd2121 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 SFNE usually does a good job of getting their new rides open for Memorial Day weekend. Goliath, GCG, and NESS opened exactly when they were supposed to and BP's late opening was only a week or two later than planned due to the transition/seal between the capsule and slide not being smooth enough as it was injuring the initial testers. I'm confident WC will be no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 So, since the Golden Ticket Awards start today, does anyone have any predictions on where Bizarro is going to come in the rankings? I think it's going to come in at #2 or maybe #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Oh, never mind. Millennium Force came in first place (horray!) and Boulder Dash came in first for wooden roller coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Oh, it looks as if Bizarro came in second again. I'm thinking if they changed the theming a little they could take back first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thank god this park wasn't voted one of the Friendliest parks in the country again.

If they had a golden ticket award for the rudest and worst staff and they won I would have no complaints. I would be shocked if they didn't win that award actually.

Canobie Coaster Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I had a surprisingly good visit there on Saturday. It was my first visit of the year and it was probably the best experience I've had at the park other than Bizarro Bash and my first time there. Bizarro was running as well as it has since its transformation. While the audio wasn't working, the train was flying through the course and had plenty of airtime. While it is still behind Skyrush, Phantom's Revenge, and a trio of B&M hypers in my personal rankings, it is still a fantastic coaster. The New England SkyScreamer was a lot of fun. The cycle was quite short, but the views were fantastic. I personally enjoy the Windseekers to the Star Flyers, but both are some of my favorite flats anywhere. As for Goliath, I still found the ride to be very good. It was just as smooth as it was with the old Vekoma trains. The only negative is that the train does really drag through the cobra roll during the reverse portion, but I'll take the improved reliability. This was my first visit at the park where I never saw Goliath shut down due to a mechanical issue (it closed for an hour during a nearby storm).

ejot Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I had a surprisingly good visit there on Saturday. Likewise. After all the big rides closed briefly for some passing weather in the mid afternoon the crowds really cleared out. Bizarro line was station and stairs only. After the second brief weather closure it was walk-on everywhere but front and back. Awesome! Nothing like quick rerides on a top-rated coaster to really bring out the appreciation. Was running great too, fast and smooth. Many ride ops are so rude it's actually entertaining, so that was fun. And it was Pride in the Park, and sweltering, so there were scores of scantily clad gay dudes to ogle. No complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
