RollerCoasters

A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.

Here are some important resources:

  1. RCDB
  2. Thrill Data
  3. Coast2Coaster
  4. Terminology and Abbreviations

Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).

Some basic rules:

  1. Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.

  2. Back up facts with sources as much as possible

  3. No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.

  4. No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.

  5. Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.

  6. No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)

  7. No posting personal information.

  8. No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

The coaster reopened on Monday but there are many reports that the transitions between the new 208 track and the wooden track were terribly rough and it was rumored to have shut down a lot of Tuesday because of these issues.

I personally wish they would have just let Gravity Group come in and take care of the mess the ride was. There's a well circulated rumor that Fun Spot decided to get their own contractor to build the ride and that was the reason for all of the problems. After seeing the magic that Gravity Group worked on many of Cedar Fair's coasters there's no doubt they could have taken care of this situation.

I found this really unfortunate, there have been so many wood coaster retracking success stories this year and it was surprising to hear that RMC couldn't help this one.
