At the No-Coaster Con this past weekend, Tom Rebbie from PTC apparently announced that they have been contracted by Holiday World to build new cars for The Voyage. Now, this little story has kind of grown a bit out of control it seems, as the story has evolved to the point that in some circles, they are saying PTC is building all new trains for Voyage.
I contacted Paula Werne, Holiday World ??????s PR Director, to shed some light on the issue at hand and what this means for the Gravity Group Timberliners. According to Paula, ??????Since the Timberliners are still in testing mode (testing resumes here next month) we wanted to be absolutely sure Voyage was ready to go--either way--on opening day. So we ordered 5 more cars (not trains). To quote a former US president, "must be prudent."??????
So there you go?????? five (5) new cars?????? not trains. Now you??????ve got to be wondering why just 5 cars. As Paula explained it to me, Voyage started out with three 7-car trains. As they were expecting to launch the new Timberliners last year, they managed to sell off two 6-car trains to another coaster, keeping one full train and having two cars leftover. So the addition of five more cars will give then two full 7-car trains once again.

So they bought more cars to run the ride with 2 trains while the Timberliners are testing. Is that really had to understand?

I thought the timberliners were all good to go, I guess not.

I think this is just a safety net. Raven wants it's train back.

After this the 5 new cars can just become the "parts bin".

you cant tell me you don't look at those and it isn't obvious.
even gravity group took my response seriously . this hasnt got anything to do with a particular brand name. wooden roller coaster like that ought to be " box with seats in it careening towards certain death" if gravity group had come up with their own version of that then it'd be fine .
sort of like calling a pt cruiser a hot rod. or doing this to a classic car http://www.just-spinner-rims.com/images/donk-6.jpg

You do realize that no one on this site including yourself has ridden a Timberliner right?

Oh. so that suddenly makes you an expert on how well they navigate a track layout HAHA J/K but seriously, I sat in a maserati, but, that doesn't make me an expert on how they drive.
