It will forever be the New San Francisco Giant to me as I pretty much shun everything Texas.

 

Why yes, you've made that perfectly clear numerous times... Why you do such for a truly awesome state is still a mystery.

I was not really a fan of the trains until I saw this video - now I think they look great. I'm also waiting for a certain Mr. Alvey to get out there to shoot us some very professional video of this monster!

This may be a little off topic considering this is the TG thread, but I have gotten some views of La Vibora that the public usually never gets to see, so I thought that I would share it with you guys

Ancient Chinese secret!

^ Keep on dreamin, they gave you guys your day....when the park was closed!

 

I guess they just couldn't handle losing to a team from, of all places, San Francisco.

I've been a lurker around here for a long time, but all I have to say about the New Texas Giant is this...HOLY EFF! As SFOT is technically my home park (I grew up in the D-FW area), I think the new Giant's gonna shatter all expectations and hopefully win some major awards.

 

Hopefully I can be able to make it to Arlington when TPR visits.

Major awards?

 

I'm sure that it will be in the running for some IAAPA accolades, and perhaps some Amusement Today "golden tickets", but the one "award" that the rest of the industry is going to be paying attention to is whether or not the increased attendance and reduced maintenance costs mean that SFOT is going to recover the $10M they spent on this project. The quicker this upgrade gets in the black, the more coasters we're likely to see on RMC's to-do list.

The world's first steel-wood-steel coaster! Sweet!

 

Seriously, though, its good to see them taking the rehab seriously and not risking a SoB-type malfunction. I really want to get to Texas sometime to ride this monster.

So I guess I'll say it. If they ended up needing steel supports anyway, why didn't they just tear it completely down and build a steel coaster? They could have designed the layout the same way with steel supports. Now it's just starting to look silly, cheap, and almost even like a hack job. I'm sure the ride will still be fun, no matter how ridiculous steel supports holding up wooden supports holding up steel track looks.
