Haymaker Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 It would appear that SFDL used the later opening day to do some much needed work (not my photos) New train for Mind Eraser Both Viper trains on the track, likely meaning 2 train ops Visitors also reporting that ROS has moved to a locker system and Titan Track is a huge improvement on Predator. 1
pryonisys Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 I saw that also. I thought they weren't going to run Mind Eraser this year, it's nice to see it open with a "new" train even with being what it is. There's also a clip going around of Predator on the new Titan track it looks like a really smooth transition and section. Well done by GCI and the park to improve some of that ride. I hope they keep adding new sections to Predator.

anonymouscactus Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 RIP Frakentrain. That was the coolest part. It made it unique. And had charm. Or something. 1

Correct, but they did have one thing right, it needed a "new" train, I'm just surprised they actually got one, it would be easy to block of that part of the park and not have to staff it this year

KBrylczyk Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 Jesus tapdancing christ, they couldn't even squeeze the budget to get the new restraints?

I would imagine the cost of a new train with new restraints is astronomically more than a used train from another park in the chain.

They can retrofit the new restraints to the old trains, AFAIK. They did it to Nor'Easter in Jersey and a bunch of boomerangs, I think.

Sk610 Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Did anyone go to the park this weekend to see if Predator is any better with the Titan Track on the death turn?

anonymouscactus Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 The ride cranks through the end of the course. Total ride time is about 12 seconds faster, I'm told. I can just imagine how is tearing up the rest of the track, though, and if they redo it all, how much faster the ride would run. I have not been on it yet to experience it for myself. To anyone who has been on it, is it noticably faster towards the end? Those last two major hills?

Insurance pays when the ride does it to itself.

The "death turn" that got the titan track just might be the smoothest part of the ride now. Its amazing how much that helped. As for the speed, it honestly felt pretty similar if you ask me... 1
TheAmericanKnight Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Stuff like this just makes me cringe. The dude in (Link removed because it's stupid) basically harassed one of the ride ops at Predator (and even tells on himself like it's something okay to do), and then calls it "racist" when they confronted him about it. Ride ops should never be harassed. No one should receive unsolicited flirtations when they're doing their job. And, for gosh sake, it ain't racist to call it out when it happens. The dude who made this video is actually disgusting.
