PKIVortex Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Looks as if Racer is getting some much needed work done during the off season. This is a photo that was captured from the WCPO Web cam. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well, they typically retrack a couple sections of both The Racer and The Beast every off season as part of their annual maintenance program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZosoBeast Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 If we could just get them to face that camera a little to the right............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Correct, small portions of the two coasters are usually re-tracked over time. Although, for the 2006 season, The Beast received quite a bit more than it usually did. Almost the entire double helix was retracked and a lot of work done to the ride. The wood coaster maintenace team does a great job and I miss working with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a photo that was captured from the WCPO Web cam. What do you all think? That's good-it needed it-when the train is somewhat empty, that one is rough as Son. I thought Beast was much better after the retracking in the helix-that coaster is the best one I've ever seen still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think Racer didn't get as much attention this last year cause of SOB. I felt Racer was a little rougher this year then in years past. It banged me around a little more then usual.

Reclaimer Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yeah, it needs it...and it looks like they're working in a pretty rough spot. It'll be nice to ride it again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yeah on Backwards side too. I'm sure other area's will be done as well. Will Forwards get sections redone too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
