I believe at one point they were considering purchasing a sixth train so they could have 5 available at all times if something unexpected happened while the spare was out for rebuild.

Opened today and running strong!
Nothing. Paint falls off when it's not prepped properly.
Jesus that looks like new paintchips falling off. They really needa prime that shit. Alpengeists immulmean has a hugeeee paint crack on the support thats gonna look bad in a year
There was one on the pre drop support just as you turn down the drop to your right, but I’m pretty sure it’s been fixed by now.
Don't remember row 3 being so drastically more "rough" or rattley than the front. It's almost 2 completly different rides. I assume its running its new wheels too which is strange. -shrugs- oh well. Maybe im crazy
I’ve never felt a vibration on Griffon that my brain registered as a “vibration” so that would be a shock.
Do note that yesterday the park was empty and that many cycles were very empty. Empty trains are more likely to run rougher than an full train will.
Oh yeaaa very true. I noticed lochness on a empty train was pretty bad vs full train. So makes sense

Griffon playing lift hill noises this year. I was wondering what i been hearing. It sounds a lot like the Teaser song for Griffon.

I think that's been there for at least a while. Even leads told me about it when I worked at the park.
Guess Apollo isn't the only B&M here to have this honor!
Shoutout to griffons crew for being the best in the park 
. Absolutely rolling trains barely stacking on the brake run.

My favorite coaster in the world after over 170 credits. Fully nostalgia-driven, but Griffon will always be my number 1. Objectively, I do think it has one of the best presentations/atmospheres of any regional park coaster. So happy to ride it again this weekend after four years
So why does literally no one talk about the small kink right before the brake run that genuinely has the best airtime pop of the entire ride?
As much as i like things like that, i hate it on griffon. A smoothe graceful ride and then radomly ejecting my ear into the harness sucks
If that's anything close to what Magnum feels like, I think I can smell a new #1 coming up...
