When Hades opened it was easily one of my favorite wooden coasters in the world, so freaking fast and intense and the tunnel was just insane. I know the thing hasn't aged well but if the Timberliners can restore it it's former glory with the new inversion that thing may jump back up into some people's top 5's once again.

I hope to hear about a retracking as well.

 

You can't just put new trains on a coaster and all will be great. I was even talking to Alan Schilke about this today!

 

If the ride is retracked, new train(s), plus this it could be really awesome. I too loved this ride opening year.

2 things:

1. We clearly see that the inversions on Wooden coasters are a great step, what will change our view on them for following generations. But please any park in Europa go to RMC or Gravity Group and order one. I can't stand the fact that they're still America only.

2. Man IAAPA 2012 looks like a lot of fun. Kind of want to be there.

It's not a Michael Bay thing. There's not girls bent over in shorts, There's no American Flags, and there's nothing Republican there.

and NO Explosions!

 

That donky-ish thing, is kinda cute. In a sick-twisted way

 

Seems Intamin is realizing people want reliable rides, I'm not surprised they're not showcasing anything impressive. Who wants Multi-Million dollar coasters that are half-baked? Cedar Point
