RE: Mäch Tower
I would imagine that MT would be really busy at night considering the view of Illiuminights.

Ah. Hope it dies down a bit tomorrow, though on a Sunday, it's unlikely.

Yes, the ride itself is pretty meh, but I like it for the view!

Getting a view from coasters is kind of restrictive as in you're pointed in one direction, especially with Griffon because the angle going up is so steep. At least with it rotating you can view more of the park.

RE: Mäch Tower
Yeah i got some info on it, there was never a real crash, there this buffering material that got worn off during testing and the train hit the shock absorbers metal on metal since there was no buffering material.

Just in case there was any doubt that that was the problem

RE: Mäch Tower
I finally got around to riding this thing after it was broken down from about 6:00 to 7:00. And....it was alright. Nothing special in the drop tower world (I highly doubt there are many drop tower enthusiasts out there.), but probably still a good addition to the park.

RE: Mäch Tower
I have to agree that it has a nice niche to fill at the park. It's a flat ride that's a bit more extreme and has a nice view. My hope is that next year the focus will be on the new coaster and the line will be short enough to justify it.

RE: Mäch Tower
Uh the top of griffon the the track essentially does a 180. Best coaster view in the park
It did hit. Do you really think they'll tell a walk up guest it crashed? No.
Multiple sources gave the same account of the impact and carl lums reaction

RE: Mäch Tower
Griffon is undoubtedly the best view of the park and one of the best views of a roller coaster I can think of because of its huge turn. Think about it, you can ride to the top of Griffon to walk around after the park closes because of the view on one of the park's tours, but I seriously doubt they'll have a tour where you can ride an elevator to the top of Mach Tower for the view.

Griffon does have a nice view, but I still see Mach Tower being better IMO.
Can anybody confirm/deny the rumor that MT will be open during CT as an Observation tower only?
