Attraction Corkscrew

Looks like a wheel fell off. Second picture, third car’s unstop seems to be missing.

“After 46 seasons in operation, Corkscrew, as you know it, is being retired…”

So, bring in S&S, air launch, through TTD's top hat, then on through Corkscrew's layout at insane speeds. Shades of Steel Phantom.

To entertain this idea for a moment, I'd assume you'd both have to switch the launch to the other side, and somehow slow down the ride to prevent the forces from the inversions from killing anyone... Plus getting the TTD train to ride on the old Arrow track without causing structural issues... Plus actually finding an interesting way to connect them together.

So basically, not happening.

However, I had a hard time seeing the upstop wheel missing from that picture - not sure it's because I'm on a phone or it's just hard to see.

I just thought the crosstie could be blocking us from seeing the wheel.

They had it fixed before the day was over. I was there yesterday, vallied during morning testing and was back open by 7pm

I'm not overly familiar with Corkscrew's valleying history, but I'm going to make a wild guess that since that particular section of track has a catwalk, it's happened there a time or two before.

They still have a couple Intamins to take care of first......
