But then the rest of us in the know would have to actually wait in a line - the horror!

Agreed! Literally renaming the gift shop in front of the entrance "Grizzly Gulch General Store" - and heavily theming it to the ride - was a good start, but I've still seen guests missing it all the time. They really need some giant sign that says "Grizzly entrance this way" somewhere around the building.
I would just like to point out this is not me. I haven't been out to the park in months. Also my footage would look better?
I'm pretty big on the second to last row. I don't have much preference on which side of the train is better, as both of them still hurt. Just watch out for entering and exiting the turn around after the tunnel, if you're not prepared it can be extremely painful as it is home to a very serious jolt. Also, try and keep your back off the seat and stay relaxed. Despite the various rough patches and aggressive laterals, the ride is still vastly superior towards the back half of the train and is a great night ride.
Definitely the back car, late at night, and be slightly tipsy.
One of my favorites.

Seat to the left, rear car when you have a lightweight next to you (literally and figuratively). Those lower laterals though...
You have to be careful with a lightweight next to you. I’ve literally had my shoulder knock into my kids‘ head on multiple occasions with how aggressive the ride is.
always the back right seat. (best view of the park at the turn around.
I love Grizzly and like it pretty much in any seat, especially at night. It is rough, but it's awesome. Should be smoother next season, though. Is there any new footage of the track work?
This may have been discussed before; but I'll throw it in the loop again. Many of KD's guest were impressed with Twisted Timbers. The only thing I regret with it; is that it's not that long of a ride like Steel Vengeance. Would it be weird if the park had two coasters by RMC? I'd almost like to think that the TT theme would have worked better if it sat in Grizzly's wooded area. But imagine an RMC with the launch lift, like Lighting Rod. I'd still keep the Grizzly Bear theme; but it could be a lot more aggressive to incorporate an actual Grizzly encounter during the ride. Maybe the launch hill features a loud roar before launch hauled up to the top. Not sure if you'd want to extend the course out into the defunct Dinosaurs Alive area.
Hear that? That's the sound of an army of angry Grizzly fans crying out in unison in response to another "RMC Grizzly" suggestion. Now would be a good time to run. ?
I would be ok with the park building another RMC, but it should a ground up build instead - maybe back by Dinosaurs Alive so it could be seen from I-95.
Grizzly needs fixing, which they are doing, but the layout is good on its own and wouldn't benefit much from being RMCed. Hurler was a different story and a good candidate for RMCing.

I'd probably settle for the RMC T-Rex design. This is only off the assumption that KD wants something unique. The T-Rex concept is designed for taller drops. I can just imagine something in the 200-250 ft in height. Imagine the night ride experiences on that, when rocketing through tight turns and inversions in the woods.
