PKIDelirium Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Looks like they're replacing bents and/or footers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 That is the Backwards side, and the backwards side was closed for most of the post season. Probably some kind of trouble with that part of the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 The Backwards side was closed most of the 07 season. That may have something to do with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 And the forwards side was running rougher than even Rebel Yell ever did. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 While I was at the park in Oct. they said that some track work had to be done for the backwords side. Also if you look at the pictures it looks like Carowinds is doing its best to make sure they can get the coaster back in working order. Also a something I thought was odd The backwords side at Carowinds would be the forwards side at Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I love seeing pictures of coasters doing track work and such. Good coaster hopefully it works out for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Same as Rebel Yell at Kings Dominion. The Backwards train on the the left track, and Forwards on the right track. Thunder Road however just started going backwards within the last 10 years, I believe it was during the 1998 season. I know when I went to Carowinds in 1994 both tracks went forward.

AintNutinElse2Do Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Stuff like this actually gives me a bit more faith in Cedar Fair. It really seems like they like to keep their coasters in pretty good shape. Well at least they like to do a lot of work on them. Judging by the pics above IMHO it's a lot more work than that coaster deserves. Much like many of you think work on SOB was undeserved.
