Indrivetec is.

I'm feeling pretty sold on Zamperla Dragster at this point...

The new train does lend itself to that idea. Have we heard aanything else other than simple rumors?

 

[Jonesta6]

Emphasis was on Canada, as well as it sounded like that quote was about the wheels.

I'm not convinced, though we'll see.

200 kmh works out to about 120 mph….

Just saying….

I'm stating the obvious but lighter weight trains would make a big difference

Last week at IAAPA, Zamperla redoing Dragster was the worst kept secret at the convention!

Any tea to share on this?

My one thought was if these trains would have enough momentum to overcome the wind resistance that often causes rollback and stalls.

I wish I had more. I know it will be using those same trains as the one for Canada but still nothing about the new layout. Also, I heard they might be painting the track a greenish color.

Are they also going to add a hill on the return track?

Have no idea. Like I said earlier I have no info on the new layout and adding a hill would be a significant change to that.

Sorry, I should have been more clear I was not genuinely asking and was joking about how painting it green would make it more similar to another coaster in New Jersey.

Man I hope they make this issue a lot worse!

That's part of the reimagining...

That's part of the reimagining...

Turn it into basically a shuttle....

 

[Jonesta6]

Turn it into basically a shuttle....

It was already halfway there - if it stops at the top for the world's tallest dippin dots stand then it'll be the best shuttle ever!

Seriously though, got my pack of discounted passes over the weekend so hopefully it's ready to ride when I get up there this summer.

 

[Glorymaker]

Any new news? So quiet around here for so long.. Make something up please..

 

[Jonesta6]

Just waiting for the RMC I-box to show up... Any day now...
