So they are advertising this as wooden... WTF?

^most people think Gemini is wooden. Anyone with the impulse to sue Six Flags for false advertising would not even know the difference.

^Yeah, I've told something like 25 people (25 of my good friends, that is) that Gemini is a steel coaster. Hell, today I showed my roommate a picture of El Toro and he said "that is not sexy, it's wooden and old," Once again solidifying my lack of faith in the GP to ever understand the first thing about roller coasters. Oh well, not what this topic is about....

Why can't parks come up with decent NoLimits recreations? Honestly, that's something that they should be able to do. Send out a notification to all of the NL community sites advertising a contest to get a track in their commercial video. I guarantee the results will kick the ass of whatever poop they make in house, plus I'm sure that simply having a ride that they made in a commercial for all to see would be enough compensation for most people, so it'd be cheaper, too.

looks like they managed to love a good ride up and made it into a total poop storm of fail
i liked it before they redid it..
loved working on it and being able to see peoples scared and tormented faces before the drop after the brake run
sad...
r.i.p tx giant
they really should change the name now
