Seems like they're trying to class up the old SF parks a little by painting these huge obnoxious colored faded rides. Even Georgia's new plans for splash'sanitymania' (brought to you by Taki's extreme nacho flavored hair gel) mismatched bright colors are being taken in a more subtle direction with the Gold Rusher theme.

Titan's paint scheme hasn't changed in 24 years. Long overdue.

Just a reminder guys! As track starts to arrive the excitement will undoubtedly build! I will be covering the construction of this incredible new coaster from start to finish! From the arrival of the track pieces to the first footers going in all the way to Media Day coverage, passholder preview and Grand Opening! I will be bringing you all the excitement! Stay tuned!

Thanks for keeping us updated.

I'm going to miss the bobsled. I remember when it was still blue and white. That said I am not going to miss the wait, last time we were there in Oct I bet we spent 30 minutes in the fast pass line, and the people in the standby line must have been waiting 2 hours plus.

That sucks, since it seems like a roller coaster for all ages.

Wait times won't be a problem with the new Giga Dive coming in. Dives typically have great rider capacity.

Valravn is the dive coaster I'm most familiar with and it seems to eat lines pretty quick.

The new 309' Giga Dive Coaster known as "Project Rubi" has been approved by the FAA.

Well, that settles it! We're definitely getting this baby!

Rancho De Pollo is on its way out. Word is that El Diablo is being relocated to a another park outside the chain.

It was going to go to SFStl, until SF realized they already had one. That, and the ride isn't quite old enough to gift it to the park.

No free gifts! If you guys want our Larson Loop it'll cost ya BIG. 10 million dollars and it's all yours baby!

Sportsdude360 · April 12

Big changes coming!! I would just like to say that there's a real feeling of excitement when you visit the park, just knowing a new coaster is coming which will break all records for coasters of this type!

Rancho De Pollo gone!El Diablo on its way to another park Gee I wonder what this could be!

What are they doing to the exit area and the building right next to it? We were there on Saturday as well. It was weird not seeing La Vibora (the bobsled) walking in from the parking lot. And Titan looks odd in the dark blue and white scheme, especially with the Reese's Pieces trains, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. This dive coaster sounds pretty slick, though. Now if only I could get someone in my family to ride it with me. I'm still trying to get my son to ride the Judge or Shock Wave with me.

Here are a couple of shots of Titan with the new (nearly finished) paint job. It looks pretty decent, but it's not as striking as the original orange and teal/aqua, but at least it sets it apart from its sister Goliath.

Supposedly the entire front entrance is being redone. We'll have to wait and see what they end up doing.

prozach626 · April 16

Titan looks great. It's much less obnoxious.

El Diablo deconstruction has begun. It has apparently been sold to another park outside the chain. Also, the preferred parking lot to the right is closed until further notice. The entire area is about to be turned into a massive construction zone, Credit photos to Brandon Skilling and Texas Thrillseekers.

Deconstruction underway Off to another park
