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"!

Yes. Wood track, steel structure. Painted in green.

Btw, the new coaster looks like it's going to be fun for everybody, especially the kids.

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

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.

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

Love the announcement banner:

 

"Sesame Place's biggest grouchiest most exciting ride ever!"

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.

Here's an awesome view from the construction of Oscar's Wacky Taxi, opening late Spring 2018!
