Will they finally axe Goudurix?

thats probably one of the rehabs

They've already retracked the first part of Goudurix so it wouldn't surprise me if they went all the way and put new trains on it. I really hope it doesn't get axed because it's one of my favorite layouts.

Let me say like that "butterfly" element is exceptionally beautiful!

Yeah I hope Gouldrix stays - then I can plan a visit after this expansion rather than needed to ride it (looks like a painfully fun ride!)

When i was last their with ACE in 2002, I was one of the only people that rode Goudrix multiple times. I loved it! As long as you held your head back against those "wings", your head didn't hit the OTSR. I tried once to hold my head out away from restraint like I do on most looping coasters. Did not work very well! LOL

Vekoma's bommerang at Carowinds has the new trains soft restraints similar to what Intamin did with I305 & Maverick.

^ Thanks for sharing the useful tips for riding!

^ Yeah, my first time riding, I was like, "what the hell are these for?". It didn't take long to find out! LOL
