I thought this thread was going to be about the website, for the title!

Looks very fresh and bright. It's a much bolder blue than I thought they were going to do, but it looks good.

Red!

Can't believe we've been slapping crazy weewee coasters for 25 years!

So do I, but there's not much going on

I understand why you'd pinch tracks from Ibanez, A113, and AJClarke. All extremely good builders!

I'm sure wherever they are now, they'd understand that you were young and stupid - we all were once.

Master or Puppets as I live and breathe. This makes me feel young again, like it's 2003.

I imagine it'll cost more to remove it than they'll get back in scrap materials so the only way I can see it being bought down is if it becomes unsafe as a structure (unlikely). Why did you give me this false hope 2 years ago? I remember reading this comment and thinking "yeah, that sounds rig...

Nope. Got no recollection of you at all, Jason.

I would say that this is more than likely the case, yes.

This is probably the start of the phasing out of the hydraulic launchers.

Cedar Point just put this out:

Looks like I was mid-2006. 34 year old man with 2 children checking in! Quite scary to think about. I joined in October 2003, sitting in an ICT suite at school just waiting for the end of the school day, sat next to my friend Jacob. I remember him commenting on the fact that a website called "...

Interesting. I wonder if we'll see a bit more of an uptick in this type of lift hill as a result. could be a good solution for some smaller parks.

The layout looks mega short in some of the shots, but the POV makes it seem a decent length in fairness.

Teenage me who was desperate for these things is screaming with excitement! This looks awesome.

Holy bump!

Didn't many states actually get this sorted now?

Has Cool5 made a new account!?

We were all like that to some to degree when we were younger, though!

Every now and then an old topic will get dragged up on here and I'll see one of my comments from like 2005 or something and just cringe

I wonder why this is happening now? Is this an issue they had before they changed to the loop from having a top hat? I don't recall reports like this before the conversion.

This is a very cool thing to have made! You'll have to do a video of it working.

I haven't played it on PC for quite a long time, but I have fairly recently been playing it on PS5.

Every new ride will reincorporate the systems in a different way. Construction projects of this size are hugely complicated no matter what it is. Rollercoasters incorporate thousands of technical components, all manually strung together into a system that has to be configured to that bespoke setup,...

You'd have thought so yes, unless they've implemented a new system/design for how it all works, and this coaster is the test mule for that new system. Then going forwards you'd expect future versions to have less issues until they implemented another new system again. Hard to say without knowing wha...

Hopefully that will just be teething issues as it's a new ride, and they'll iron out all the problems soon.

Think I'm a little bit in love. Every hill seems to be ejector air.

The thing I love most, though, is that it's about a 40 minute flight away from Birmingham

POV is at about the 1:00 mark.

This is a shame to see, it certainly isn't positive news - but at the very least this does mean the park is remaining as an entity at all rather than just straight up closing down entirely. My ultimate concern is that anything happens to The Ultimate. I don't have any knowledge on whether or not tha...

I hope it really does end up looking like that and not a budget version of that, because that really does look good.
