ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Neither of the two I mentioned jerk you around and have the train bounce all over the place so you get a headache. It's not as simple as the train either; T3 has the new trains but it's the worst one of them all. Maybe more of a track thing? Really not sure. I just know that on the two with no square wheels, that layout is really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Even when this ride was at GL it had a reputation for being the "smoothest" of the bunch. I never really had a problem with this ride going back to it's GL days. Always thought it was a comfortable ride. The other few I have been on include Great Nor'Easter, Flight Deck @CW, Mind Eraser at DL, and T3 most of which is awful. I never experienced Great Nor'Easter prior to the retrack but I thought it was very comfortable with the new track and trains. Now, the other 3 listed I will never get on again, ever. Unless something dramatic happens. Heard some good things about the new trains on whatever SFNE is calling theirs these days. Back to this ride, I dig the new colors, looks wonderful. Slightly disappointed it didn't get the original 90s teal supports, but this is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. My glowing review of it is based only on the 2017 retrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsolmagno Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I have rode plenty of SLCs, MA's is near the top, along with Great Nor'Easter & Mind Eraser at SFA. All 3 very enjoyable IMO. T3 at Kentucky Kingdom & Flight Deck at CW are the worst and should be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new paint looks great! SLCs may be terrible rides but they are quite photogenic. They do work on the track in the off seasons and they keep the trains in great condition Are those supports brown? I really enjoy most SLC's. I hold my head all the way forward out of the restraint and get zero head banging. They are forceful little rides! I will be at Camp snoopy preview day. Anything in particular anyone wants pics of? Park confirmed the supports are a deep brown. I just found out an interesting tid bit. In the early 90's the park tried to purchase a chance Toboggan. It would of been after Wildcat and before Zach's Zoomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Does anyone know if Shivering Timbers has opened yet for the 2021 season? Queue-Times is usually pretty good, but it's showing that Shivering Timbers has been listed as "Closed" every day thus far in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Queue times shows it as open today though, so crisis averted. Are you really going there on purpose? Explain yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 C'mon Bill, it's a good park to stop in and kill 2 hours if you're taking the smart route from CP to SFGAm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I heard it was closed opening weekend. Sounds like the parks opening weekend went as badly as every other cedar fair park. I am going Sunday to check out the new camp snoopy and get a ride of Timbers and check out Thunderhawks new paint scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I finally checked out the new camp snoopy. Looks very good. All 7 coasters were running. They were short staffed like every other park but the employees generally seemed very happy. The new snoopy area looks very good and fits in well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Sorry for the double post. I heard a rumor that this weekend Shivering Timbers bumped in the station leaving damage on both trains and the track in the station. Has anyone heard anything about this?

tndank Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I know it wasn't running yesterday for sure. Had not heard the reason but seems plausible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJoe123 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Shivering Timbers did bump. Credit to Cassie Villarreal on Facebook. "So FIRST ride is Shivering Timbers. Ride went fine but then we got stuck trying to get off. They literally SLAMMED us into the cart in front of us that hadn’t taken off. No apology except from the teenage employees working the ride. No medical check. They took our names and seat number and nothing else. No phone numbers or anything. They then just let us go. No compensation or anything for literally crashing us at probably 30mph into an object not moving at all. The metal and actual track broke from the impact. Michigan’s Adventure is a joke and needs to STEP UP." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It should be noted that the ride is posted as open today on Queue Times. This took place on the 19th and it was closed for the rest of the day and all day yesterday. If that's accurate I'm assuming it's just running one train and probably will be for awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I still can not believe the train was able to leave the final brake run with the other train still in the station. Eltororyan needs to show those workers how a block section works lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy06 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Depends on how much they are willing to pay for the new parts. I know a park that had some damage done to a PTC train on Saturday and they paid something like 30 grand for the new parts and overnight shipping from PTC so they could have both trains running for a certain donkey loving theme park tour for their ERT session that Thursday.

They were on the block of 10 minutes, then maintenance forwarded the train into the station causing a collision. BTW they got a refund and they did call a lawyer.

CP_RULES Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Welp. I came here to mention the new RMC track option for Shivering Timbers (can we call it ShTi?) trying to spice up the thread seeing it had posts in it finally, then I realized I had been beaten to the punchline by the ride itself. Maybe now is as good as time as ever to get that new RMC re-track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Michigan's Adventure removed the message that Shivering Timbers was closed from their website and posted on Twitter it has reopened (they posted a picture of the ride and replied to someone it reopened late today).

Canobie Coaster Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Shivering Timbers reopened today. Only one train is available. Some new wood can be seen going into the station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 This park really needs to open a week sooner then it is. And make a fall fest. This park would kill it with a limited attraction fall fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
