boldikus Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 The front of that train is kinda ridiculous but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I absolutely love the lead car for this coaster. I can't wait to try it some day since Gravity Group has knocked it out of the park with Wooden Warrior and Roar-o-saurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Don't know if anyone here shared it or not but this Saturday is Fun Spot's 19th birthday so they're running a pretty sweet special. $19 for single day passes and $19 for skycoaster tickets. The best part is that the special is available online and tickets don't expire until June 1st of 2018. $40 for an all day wristband and a skycoaster ticket is an awesome deal if anyone plans to check out Mineblower while in town anytime in the next year. If you're buying online make sure you check out the details in the link below, the deal is only available from 12:01 am til 2 pm, so don't miss it.

DILinator Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Thanks for posting, and alerting me to that! I'm going to each park, and taking three of my kids this November, so those passes will come in very handy, as will the discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 We'll be there either Saturday or Sunday so count me in! Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgtlover Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I didn't realize you could buy it online to use for a later time. Good to know. I've already set several reminder alarms so I don't forget. I have some family coming down to go to SeaWorld in September and they wanted to do Fun Spot so I let them know too. Win Win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 All these amazing pictures of Mine Blower just piss me off all the more that Mt. Olympus' Hades yearly maintenance budget is $10 and a bologna sandwich. I have yet to experience Holiday World's Voyage, but I'm sure that some would say something similar. #Waiting4Timberliners #HWVoyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 This ride has the goods. I'm so jealous of everyone that lives near this these parks. From the Gravity Group Facebook Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djackson Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Would it be unrealistic to expect this to be open within the days of June 17th and 24th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOGdude25 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 ^Fresh off Holiwood Nights last weekend, Voyage was running pretty darn good to me! I really geeked out when I saw that "suspension bridge" support structure for the zero-g roll on Mine Blower. Seriously this coaster looks amazing.

I rode Voyage just last week, and it's as awesome as always. Holiday World takes great care of their wooden coasters, and they hold up quite well. But don't take my word for it; go and ride for yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yeah, I rode Voyage less than 2 weeks ago and can confirm that there's nothing rough about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Has there been an opening date for MineBlower set yet? I know it looks like there's a lot left but I wouldn't be surprised at all if this thing is open by July 4th weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 At this point when bad engineering don't happen too often, the smoothness of wooden coasters almost always depends on maintenance. While GCI coasters stay smooth for a bit longer than Gravity Group coasters because of their track fabrication process, it all comes down to maintenance after a few years.

AndrewRnR Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 ^Curious what is the differences in the track process? The new Iron Wood materials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
