YoungStud Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I can see the voyage being SBNO next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't see why so many people have to be a wussies about wooden coasters, i rode the voyage backseat and i thought it was a awesome ride, its in my top 5 coasters.. It would take holiday world 1 offseason, some capital , and a phonecall to have this fixed.. Call intamin for prefab track or get Rocky Mountain construction for toppled track or iron horse replacement.. There just beating around the bush. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 It would be cheaper for management to save a buck by putting it SBNO and put the park up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 If that were to happen i bet that Cedar Fair will end up buying the park and add a flag over i in holiday, with the addition of a b&m coaster being built that same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't see what's wrong with the Voyage. Yes, the Timberliners would have been nice, but with all of the retracking work over the past few years, it's running as well as, if not better than, The Beast is now. Even wheel seats give me a comfortable ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 It sounds like the track is getting destroyed thats why they run one train. Would not surprise me if eckerrt had his maintenance team trim the first drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 They would be better off with a steam train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I thought the Voyage was running fine this year at Holiwood Nights. Better than it has in several years...I don't understand all the negativity about it. Beast is running great this year too. Its been a great year for woodies in our part of the country. As far HW selling the new train ride, I really don't understand that unless they decided to fix the old one but they put new track down and everything for the new one. It makes little to no sense. It has been such a strange year for HW. I am sure the family strife has caused a lot of it but I really don't get some of these recent decisions even in light of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 The negativity is them running one train the majority of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieninja Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't really understand the need for Timberliners. The Voyage is far from the roughest roller coaster I have ever rode and I thought the cars they were using were pretty nice. Almost every time I ride The Beast it seems like someone is out there looking at it or inspecting it somewhere along the route. Perhaps The Voyage needs the same level of attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It would be cheaper for management to save a buck by putting it SBNO and put the park up for sale. Are you kidding me? That's not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 the voyage is tearing itself to death, that is the need for the timberliners in the first place. If it was just a rough ride they would run multiple trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Are you sure that is why they are running one train? One train operation irks me too (are you listening Kennywood on a busy weekend day?) but there are several other reasons that they would choose to do that make more sense than the train is tearing up the track. It probably has more to do with the current management. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Running one train reminds me how Cedar Point cut the third train for millennium force and Gatekeeper the other day, is like they want the lines to be an hour wait... My thought was because they are trying to keep in the park longer which is smart business thinking but screwed up if your the one standing in line.

rcwizard13 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Youngstud, you should know how much this site does not like rumors from screamscape, but yet you started a whole thread based on one. Really? And here is why: http://www.screamscape.com/html/holiday_world.htm He has already changed his rumor; adding a park reply letting us all know that the train is not for sale. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 ^ Since the track is tearing itself to death, if you run one train instead of 2 or 3 that means there are 1/2, 2/3's less cycles per day. I apologize RC Wizard. They are for sure not using timberliners though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is surpising, KI was running diamonback with 3 trains yesterday sending out trains 2/3's full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 From all the times I've been Diamondback ALWAYS seems to be running 3 trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 millenium force, TTD, Gatekeeper, Mantis, iron dragon, and raptor from what i seen later in the day ( about 6pm, 3 hours before close )had train cuts... I was in line for millenium force, and It was painful to watch red train, transfer onto the storage track... From all the times I've been to Kings Island and Cedar Point this year you can tell there is a difference in how things are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Cedar Fair Park? Want to not wait so long? Just buy Fast Lane Plus. Conveniently available now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Not running all available trains could result from other circumstances that are not within the park's immediate control. In particular, that train you see on the transfer track may be having mechanical or technical problems that need more than one night to be fixed, or weather may be forcing them to run a reduced number of trains.

The Interpreter Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Which for some reason has happened far more frequently this year than ever before at Holiday World? Really? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 That was aimed more at Tr0y's comments about Cedar Point operations. The situation at HW is more than a bit puzzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
