boldikus Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 its first wooden-steel hybrid coaster So can we talk about this? I asked in my post earlier but it hasn't been brought up since. I guess the supports will be steel with wood track/catwalks/etc? From the rendering it sure looks like the track is wood. I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot. Ugh... I'm so torn on this place. It's nearby, we have a Season Pass to Busch / SeaWorld parks, I'll definitely drive by it from time to time and now they have two perfectly respectable looking coasters but it's f*cking Sesame Place and we're two grown a** adults so I've never been there. I feel like now we just need to bite the bullet and go for it, then never speak of this again. Dude. Make it a kiddie park weekend. Do Sesame and Dutch Wonderland. In fact, throw Story Book Land in there, pretty sure there's a wacky worm lol. Would make for an epic addition to the "Coasterbill's Alcohol, Coaster and Culture Trip Reports Land"!

Painted in green.
boldikus Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Oh yeah look at that. I already apologized for sounding like an idiot, so
EliHorton Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I didn't even notice the green supports. That will look really cool! I'm really excited for this!
JordyC Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 What a great addition for this park! Looks like a very fun coaster!
Picto81 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 This looks more intense than SW8 at Alton Towers!
SharkTums Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 This looks more intense than SW8 at Alton Towers! Wouldn't be hard!
Nrthwnd Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 ....Dude. Make it a kiddie park weekend.... Btw, the new coaster looks like it's going to be fun for everybody, especially the kids.
TwistyTie Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 wooden-steel hybrid coaster Looks like we're getting more hybrids this year so far than 2016 and 2017 combined!

thrillseeker4552 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Wow! Maybe I missed something, but I was not expecting a green support structure! Looks good.
bert425 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Wow! Maybe I missed something, but I was not expecting a green support structure! Looks good. themed to Oscar the Grouch. . . of course it's green
cal1br3tto Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Never thought of that either...very appropriate.
Nrthwnd Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 It needs a few garbage cans here and there, to complete the theming of it.
Canobie Coaster Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I wasn't expecting the green either. This is right up there with Dutch Wonderland's Kingdom Coaster for the oddest paint scheme on a wooden coaster.

boldikus Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I didn't notice the green when they first announced it, but it is in the announcement video if you look closely.

DoinItForTheFame Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Hmmm... The green supports are growing on me!
Nrthwnd Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Love the announcement banner: "Sesame Place's biggest grouchiest most exciting ride ever!" Edited February 4, 2018 by Nrthwnd
larrygator Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I can't wait to use the Purell after riding this.
boldikus Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 As time goes by I find myself more excited about this ride. I know its small and isnt gonna set the world on fire but for one I still haven't been to Sesame Place (for obvious reasons) and its really, really close to me - this finally gives me an excuse to get over there. On top of that I have never ridden a Gravity Group and I'm stoked its not such a tiny thing that I have to be embarrassed riding it. Also, my nephew, who will be 5 this year, will likely love this thing and I can't wait for him to ride it to see what he thinks. It's big for him, but not too big, as he's only done kiddie coasters and RMT @ GreatAdv. The cherry on top is that we got BGW Platinum Passes this year so it won't cost me anything to visit.
