Intimidator and Hurler are still running trim free! A back row ride on Intimidator with a loose restraint is not to be missed.
Some other stuff:

Horse-be-gone

New very transparent banner that I don't remember being there

I see that the Cyclone Airplane made it's way to the new themed area. Happy I suggested that XD. It made more sense to have it in a new location with a new paint job.
The horse would still be a good fit there somewhere. I mean, why not?

I just want to make sure I understand correctly. You are taking credit for the horse being replaced by the plane? You suggested that they remove the horse and add the plane sometime in the last week and now they changed it? Did I understand that correctly?

No, I didn't suggest anything about the horse :lol: Didn't even know they had that.

No back in August, shortly after the announcement, I saw the airplane above Sweet Frog and thought "hmm, that would look even better with the new Cobra theme, and look even nicer if re-painted (either the same color or new colors)." So I went and told our Maintenance Director. Some notes were jotted down, and 7 months later.

I really do think that Intimidator runs faster when its hot and when the trains are being sent out train after train. Last season when I driving if the train was going through the trims too fast the panel would send out a message saying a certain train was going too fast through the trims and we would have to stop sending the trains out for about fifteen minutes.

Remember when Fury was hitting the brake run too fast last season that one day? It would hit the emergency brakes and shoot past them. It kept shutting the ride down until finally around the evening when the trains cooled down enough to where they would stop like they were supposed to.

So it's ok that I take credit for fury as I have said the park should get a giga coaster several times in the past?

And now you are on a forum that the general public comes to, talking about how Fury can fly through the emergency brakes? I'm not trying to be mean, but do you think before you post? We saw how the general public reacted when a train stops on the lift hill and now you are going to announce to a paranoid GP that if the weather is just right, the ride will fly through the EMERGENCY brakes?
