Doesn't help they have really let the area go down. The severely faded paint on the ground near the entrance just kills it for me. Picky, I know. But it kind of tells the story of United and their lack of maintenance and care for the parks.

Tempesto ruins the Apollo skyline. I always thought it would be great to relocate to Ireland the trash

FTFY

To be fair it had always gone for a bit of a carnival/daredevil theme. It feels a little thematic even if unintentional

You're talking about the actual country, right?!?

Yall crazy. Tempesto is a fun ride.

Please whatever you do, do not look down under the railing as youre walking through the queue on the walkboards. The painters DEFFIENTLY used drop cloths. Deffiently did not get blue all over that expensive ass decking board

The giant tempesto sign and station mural has been painted over.

I already had 2 of my least favorite coasters go defunct/going defunct in the future (Anaconda and ScreaMore). Maybe this could be a third!

Move it to Ireland!

The actual country of Ireland across the Atlantic Ocean, to be clear.

Looks like a good opportunity for a much-needed retheme (of the entire hamlet).

I think Tempesto is fine for the park*

*anywhere but its current location

 

[Thomas]

That’s a shame to see, it barely had any theming as it is.

 

[TheNerdyEnthusiast]

If I'm being honest, Tempesto can go away, and I would not be mad about it. The "Tempesto" theme just by itself would be ok on anything, but Sky Rocket II's are just horrible.

 

[MrBradferd]

I love tempesto. The seats suck but damn does it pull some insane airtime and the whip going over the top if youre near the front. But I wouldn't miss it if it left. Kinda a love hate. If it can stay cool, if not then dont let the door hit ya
