Is it just me, or does this belong in the Rumor Thread?

It's just you. Good night.

[Carnage]

It wouldn't surprise me, what with those damn G-trains.

Another Cedar Fair coaster derails ...

Is it just me or maybe you should read this thread:

Your obnoxious attitude here lately is exactly what that thread is about.

Mark it isn't just you. I had a friend at GL yesterday that told us it happened. He said the train is covered with a tarp and that no one was injured when it did happen.

 

I didn't find anything on the net about it either, but it really shocked me to hear that it happened.

[Homer]

Another Geauga credit missed on the Midwest trip.

 

Anyways, I am also not sure whether or not this is true. I looked on the only GL fansite I know of (Geauga Guide) and their forums had nothing.

[OFortuna]

^ and it's you too. I didn't see anything anywhere about this, If you weren't there and heard it from a friend it's likely to be 98% rumour and 2% Truth.

 

Yeah, the dude who sells amusement rides for a living is getting his info from the Dippin Dots man. Lurk and learn.

[Bubba Z]

I also got the same message Katie and Mark. 3 people all with the same story, how can it not be true? Unless it's the Coastermania Hoax of 2007?

[Johnny Upsidedown]

It seems to be legite. I have read that it seems it may be the G train that derailed or what ever it is that happened. I have read some track seems to be torn up as well.

Well, sorry. I didn't know that and I sometimes make mistakes and everyone does.

 

Sorry, I stand Corrected.

This sucks...No Raging Wolf Bobs for me now when I go to CP and GL in late July. Atleast this may be an opportunity to get new trains.(PTC tisk tisk) Good to hear that it wasn't a big disaster. This is a big blow for CF though. First Magnum, now this.

[carolinacaniac]

Well, if the g-trains failed on a slower, lower coaster like Raging Wolf Bobs, I wonder how they will handle a faster, bumpier Son of Beast?

[Reon]

Seriously? Boo! Hopefully they can get it back up and running by next month, if at all. I finally get to go up there and it's down? And what will the GP think? 3 of their coasters just got removed from the park in the last year.

[CoasterFanatic]

^ What GP? Last I checked they were all over on the other side at the waterpark.

[XII]

Oh well, 1 Geauga Lake Credit missed. But that just gives more time on Dominator.

[Masked_Maverick]

Proof? link? News story from a credible source? photos? Sorry I won't believe any of this untill I see some real proof.

[Arez55]

Sounds like its starting to come together. I called GL and asked what rides were not operating today, she said that the only ride that was down was Raging Wolf Bobs. However, when I asked her if it would re-open at a later time in the year and she said "Later? Its going to be open tommorow..."

Maybe this was a secret government experiment to destroy the lives of coaster enthusiasts so they don't keep building parks on the land they want to use to construct weapons of mass destruction.

Take a look for your self. Seen this on RRC.

That's the old G-train, too, not the one they got from Legend. I have a feeling they'll be down to one train operation for quite a while.

[CoastersNSich]

Actually, it is the one from Legend, as the cars have the closed fronts on them. Villain's trains (and the third one used on RWB) have the open bars on the front of each car. I rode RWB in the former Villain train somewhat before the incident, and noticed the ride was pretty wild on some turns, but not really uncomfortable. I also saw a fast glimpse of the train (then covered up) from riding Dominator...

[kidcoaster]

Dang first the Monorail then X-Flight the Steel Venom and Now Raging Wolf Bobs why does God hate Geauga Lake.

[Coasternerdette]

Well, I was at GL yesterday, and I can assure you it is no rumor. It was quite sad seeing the tarped train on the track.

 

I was thankful that we slept in yesterday and didn't go into the park until well after it happened. I'm not a nervous nilly rider, but seeing that might have dampened the day for sure.

[ginzo]

I rode this thing a few weeks ago. Although it wasn't particularly rough, the ride has a really poor appearance. Wanting for paint, of course, doesn't necessarily mean that the structure is unsound, but it does hint at the maintenance policies of the park.

 

As much as I'd like to see an Intamin woodie at Cedar Point, I think Cedar Fair should just give up on wood. They suck at it. I better go ride Renegade soon before it falls apart.
