HWFan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 think I read somewhere that SF has a contract with RMC - wonder if that agreement had a specific number of Conversion attached to it. I actually talked to Dave Roemer about this "contract" that everyone has been talking about. Basically unless corporate is hiding something from hi, that contract is just a rumor. Either way, he said that it has, to his knowledge, no impact whatsoever on the Boss getting converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbmchl Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Oh don't get me wrong, I know there are people who understand and totally get it. I appreciate the hell out of those type of people. It is the ones (in general) who complain/ say it is the worst service they've ever had and then threaten to never come back who drive me nuts. We went on Saturday and had a great day. Crowds were light in the park. Longest wait we had was 10 minutes for Pandemonium (although my little guys aren't tall enough for Boss, American Thunder, Batman or Mr. Freeze, and I did not get a chance to see what those lines looked like). It was hot so I would imagine HH was pretty full. We easily processed our 2015 season passes and dining passes and picked up our cups and enjoyed some free beverages. We had no problems with service for our lunch and dinner. You can't beat the value of deal they put on this past weekend. HWFan, thanks for the heads up.

jrkstl Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I asked this a few pages but no one knew exactly for sure.. What type of repair has RMC done on The Boss? This was taken off RMC website If I'm not mistaken, the RMC work on the Boss was a few years back, and it was mainly the installation of the L shaped side brackets put in place to keep the laminated stack of wood on the track secure. It did make a significant difference, at least during the first season or two after installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 ^^ Wish I could come out and meet up with some of you guys to have a few beers, but unfortunately I'm working. think I read somewhere that SF has a contract with RMC - wonder if that agreement had a specific number of Conversion attached to it.

That would be like saying that you are not going to SFGAm because there was a riot in Gary. Indiana.

theymitbgi Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Anyway back on topic here. Two things weird about the new ride, they say six perosn vehicles, but the picture only shows a 4 seater. I'm guessing it would be three rows of two? According to the link both buildings are 15,000 SF, but we onlt get 6 cars not 10, done on purpose to keep the line at the less attended park longer?

theymitbgi Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sorry I meant 7. Does anyone know how many boats Scooby is currently operating with and how many it was originally opened with? I'm just thinking 7 vehicles x 6 passengers will be less than X number of boats x 4 passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because other parks would rather be known for maintaining the rides they have and building great new rides from the ground up rather than being known for letting rides go to crap and then having to pay to convert them into great rides. I said there would be no RMC without SF, but where would SF be without RMC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
