All that over a little paint, huh?

HP just announced June 2nd for the opening!

Is it just me or does Titan Track sound like its pretty loud?

Woot! We have testing! https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=259806769865489

So I did indulge myself in a POV taken this past weekend with the new track (won't post it due to it being questionable on permissions for said POV), and it appears that Grizzly wasn't entirely redone, but a good chunk is. The areas redone are the first drop into the second hill, and the second drop all the way through the fan turn after the tunnel. Could be a multi year thing like Racer if KD is committed to going 100%.

^That and on the video I posted in the TTD thread it's shown running.

We now have a HUGE crane in the TTD infield.

I've seen reports that Iron Dragon opened today.

You know, I just realized the T3 replacement actually could be a coaster. T3 is in that special line of zoning where Kentucky Kingdom can actually build at a decent height. They already have a freakishly tall slide. Eurofighter or Premier launch coaster maybe?

From what I'm aware, the drone footage in this was taken legally and within the proper guidelines. Overall, the track is done, they're adding a bit more bracing to some of the later elements, and getting the queue and locker area finished (the ride has 2 stations a la Flight of Fear or Millennium Force). The red track with the black bracing makes it pop a bit more visually than some other red RMC's IMO. Also like the use of the old track as a nod to the original GCI.

I'm seeing generally positive reviews of GG Grizzly on various forums.

Good luck finding adequate staffing.

I got the same issue with having to wait until the day before I go to BGW later in July, going with the better weather day if rain is a factor.

Other than the possibility of parts being scarce due to it being a rare model, I don't see how all these Invertigo removal rumors have any traction. Lack of capacity on its own isn't enough for me to see it going.

Thunderhawk at MIA is actually a pretty decent SLC, even despite it being relocated.

I feel like I have to bust this out for this thread. This is a whole other level.

Joined a live chat on YouTube with Eddytainment, and he's pretty confident Grizzly will be open by Memorial Day. There's apparently trains on the track and much reprofiling by GG. It's also a smidge taller and steeper on the first drop.

Bringing this back to the forum.

^One that's open more than 2 days a year.

I know this would have been unlikely, but I wish that history would have been kinder to Coney and that this area would have a small park similar to, say, a Knoebels, or a Waldameer, etc where Coney had like one centerpiece classic wood coaster and a bunch of classic flat rides and the like, obviously nothing at Kings Island's level, but a small alternative to KI. I really wish the Cincinnati area had a small park like that.

I don't see such a thing on either FB or Twitter.

All stand ups have that, I meant that the ones on the Surf coaster can still bounce during the ride a little bit according to the animations.

Must have not worked when I rode it or Shockwave because I never noticed it.

One thing I just noticed in the animation is that the seats have some give to them and aren't rigid, they bounce a bit. That actually sounds it might make it a tad more comfortable, but I'm still not buying it until I see reviews come out.
