  • So I recently just got on Ka and Stormrunner recently, after missing TTD by a week, and xcelerator at knots the previous 2 years. And I don’t know, the top hat seems to play second fiddle to the absolute batshit insane launch. Like, you could launch me to 120mph and then hit the brake run and I still think it’d be like, 60-70% as good. The top speed is sick though, and I do love the reverse spike on like say Mr freeze. I’m sure it’ll be a blast, but Im mostly curious about throughput with 3 trains.

    Also, does anyone think they had this being planned out as far back as removing wicked twister? They seem like kinda similar layout wise, and would look similar in the skyline. Still cool though.







  • Yeah I get the sentiment. But if you rode the boss you’d understand (maybe…lol) American thunder is fantastic and screaming eagle fills the historic woodie checkbox. But the boss, with the gerstlauer trains is just awful. And I mean the park tries, you can see lots of the valleys have been retracked like this year. Regardless it feels like a losing battle. Like the last double up, from where they removed the helix, feels like in snowboarding/skiing where you “hit the knuckle”.

    Like the end of the ride feels pretty similar to this:
