Check the Loch Ness Monster thread for similar…threadsI hope they create more shirts like this for the other coasters.
I will always feel InBev murdered the Wolf. I'm sober now, but back when I was drinking, I made it a point to avoid InBev. Realizing that the discontinuation of free beer was also part of the InBev coup, I can better understand the decision to build something new and shiny to make up for the loss of free beer. That said, I still feel BGW should build a new Wolf some time after the Drachen Fire plot redevelopment.As far as I know, [ElToroRyan] nailed basically everything substantive. I think he's probably off the mark a little regarding his guess that the impending sale to Blackstone may have impacted the choice not to pursue the renovation/update project (which I have LONG heard from many folks was on the table), but other than that, I think I agree with him through and through.
I believe in Defunctland supremacyStill not as egregious as Kevin from Defunctland stating in his Orient Express video that Nessie is in Tampa...

Yep, there was a slight turn before the drop.Kevin has good videos, but c'mon you can't both say Nessie is in Tampa while also acknowledging BGW exists in the same video.
However, having watched ETR's BBW video a few times, I think it's pretty spot-on from my experiences riding it. I was young enough that I don't quite remember the layout, so it's good he broke it down a bit.
I just don't remember there being a turn at the top of lift 2...
a video where the presenter specifically says that others are wrond and that the story in their video is "the truth." Even though that "truth" has been debunked by numerous credible people.
I also don't see the need to make a video called "problematic coasters" on a ride that was closed more for its age than any individual problem.
Yes, I was referring to the DF video. And as far as Wolf and Xceler-8 are concerned, I believe they were developed at the same time with the changes based on what Arrow learned from the Bat. Given that the first Bat is generally considered a failure, I've always considered Wolf as a prototype, just a prototype that worked. In my opinion, Griffon is more problematic than Wolf was, but that's another story.Is this a reference to ETR's DF video claiming the ride design was 100% Arrow with no B&M influence, ignoring that while B&M as a company may not have been influential enough at the time, their work under Giavanola for Intamin rides certainly was? Or the claim that Larry Giles was quoted as saying it was a B&M proposal they couldn't deliver upon in the timeframe the park wanted, but could at least construct Kumba in Tampa?
I get where you're coming from, but I'm inclined to give him a pass since he's stated on a few of his videos that problematic sounds better than coaster quirks and issues. I'd like to think what's basically a first run build of a second generation of ride is basically as you've described, a prototype. Not sure if it came before or after Xceler-8 at Astroworld, though given the timeline presented it's likely it was in development at the same time so neither had operated enough for Arrow to be able to use what it learned in the plans for the other.

I did used to make videos about coasters on youtube, but deleted the channel after college as I felt I needed to move into a new chapter in life that didn't involve parks/rides as much.With your experience, I know I'd love watching a video or listening to a podcast where you go into such details...
Thoosies have that effect.I did used to make videos about coasters on youtube, but deleted the channel after college as I felt I needed to move into a new chapter in life that didn't involve parks/rides as much.
