HWFan Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Before the announcement in August and the car/animatronic unveiling at IAAPA, I don't think anyone would have believed SFSL would get such a top of the line dark ride. A lot of Guests that come to SFSL haven't been on Transformers or Spiderman, but even those who have will be blown away be this attraction next season. With Scooby being the best (according to many enthusiasts and Sally Corp) version on the Ghostblasters-type dark rides, it great to see that it is being replaced by something even better. That animatronic blew me away. Six Flags really seems to be dominating so far. Neal Thurmond was recently promoted from SFMM Director of Operations to SFFT Park President. The identification and promotion of great leaders like him is really helping to grow the company and improving the parks' quality. In other news, I love the Games-U-Ride concepts. With the popularity of games declining in the industry for the past 30 years, I think that these games could be able to help bring them back a little bit. To the TPR members who were able to try them, do you think the experience was enough for a lot of parks to really make money in a park? I can't be thankful enough for all of the great TPR coverage year after year. Keep up the great work as so many really appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonGeorge Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 That overbank spike... Also, it's interesting how The Gravity Group likes to put swing music to their trailers, such as that one for Roar-O-Saurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 More announcements and reveals! Triotech talked a bit about Knotts new Voyage to the Iron Reef dark ride! Yes, these creatures feed on metal and will eat Knotts coasters if you don't stop them! Was great to meet Matt Ouimet from Cedar Fair! Love what you guys are doing at your parks! Marie from Triotech is a TPR fangirl! We need more of these! Just announced! "Switchback" wooden shuttle coaster from The Gravity Group going to ZDT's amusement park in Texas!

ZeroGravity55 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 ^Nice! It's a shame the video doesn't show how the switch track works but I think I've got it. I don't think there is a switch track. There is. It's going to be that straight bit of track after the first drop. You just can't see it, because TGG is still using No limits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It'll be interesting to see how well the wooden shuttle coaster goes over. It does look like a good alternative if a park wants to get a "big" ride in a small space (and a nice change of pace from old shuttle loops).
