That instance was funny, though... I hope they at least do a MF (drop into overbank) to remove the damn trims.

I wish Reed Road was more open like that but even that won't help much this offseason.

I actually agree with Shoe and B-mac. I think that would be a great element in that location. But if they get the first part of the ride to handle to the full speed and remove the trim, they'll be back to the same problem with the second half as before and thus still have the major slow-down on the first bunny hop. And still there is the problem with the overheating wheels. I wouldn't count on anything super awesome happening.

The ride is a $25 mil failure. Nothing can fix that.

Well IMO, there are several other ones out there too, but they bring in the masses regardless and that's all that matters, not whether or not enthusiasts think they're great.

I liked the ride the time I rode it
It felt much faster then Millennium
 
haven't tried it with the new restraints and trims but it was fast the first week in May

The chiller was the same way, whenever it was open there was a two hour line no matter how many people were in the park.

I must have been in the park during many atypical times, then.

Wow, who never once waited two hours for Batman and Robin: The Chiller.

Every time I was there there was a two hour line, the few times I rode it I got a flash pass.

I never got to ride it, because it was either closed or had a 2-hour queue.

I must be a lucky duck.  I also got to ride Evolution numerous times, and Jump2 aka Jumping Jack Flash.  And I got to the park far fewer times than most of you.

I never got on Jumping jack Flash or Evolution because I was too small.

Every day in every way I feel older and older.  Thanks for that.  I think.

I get my permit in 5 days, if that makes you feel any better.

I also grew up to animaniacs, tiny toons, tom & jerry, scooby doo and many other shows... if that helps, i think a lot of the stuff on tv these days is a waste.

Our tv (we had ONE) was black and white.  We got three channels.  One of them quite clearly.  And Howdy Doody was on when I came home from school.

It's HOWDY DOODY TIME!!! I loved that part in back to the future.

How did this topic go from i305 track missing to cartoons?!? Lol but really does anybody know what the new layout will be for that part of the ride? If there is any change.

as long as it doesn't need the trims I really wouldn't care.

Yes, someone knows.  No, they won't be talking about it at this time, if ever.

The second I said Chiller there was no turning back... I like when there's a bit of an off-topic banter, but this was a little overboard.

It's a long running joke...but yes, someone does know.  Seriously.

or they could be adding trims to the second hill. Doubtful, but the wheels did overheat on the ride due to speed.
