1 problem... Thats not Magnum XL200!

Wow... Think how crazy it would be to ride a coaster with the trains like they are in the 3rd pic down! Now i know they don't have the T-bars on the train in the pic! but riding it with everyting else, except for the acctual train sides! [:O]

^Old news. Majority of the ride was painted before the season ended. Where were you guys? lol

I have pictures I took of MF's trains dismantled, ready to be assembled in the park before the park was open. Twas pretty cool.

How cool would it be to take apart a roller coaster train and rebuild it! I'd love that! One damn mistake and you kill 38 people!!!!

No really, it would be an interesting job... So Real, do you know if there are any sheet metal shops in Toledo or Sandusky?

It would actually be 36 people with MF's trains I believe. I guess your why they make sure they have some honorable mechanics at CP! [lol]

I bet you have to sign a waver saying you will properly put the ride back together properly to actually work with the trains.[;)]

LMAO!
