I said this already. The red marked pipes we're currently seeing are from the Pictorium leftovers. Notice that all the red markers are from lines near the midway... These were the electrical hookups from those old racetrack games that were left unused.

If you want a RMC Raptor at the park, this could happen to you...

I honestly don't think we'll get a Raptor here. If we do get a T-Rex though, those trains are apparently using lap bars, so we wouldn't have to worry about the shoulder bruising :)

If they need extra space, maybe they will move Home Town Fun Machine next to Demon in the vacant Sky Trail plot.

They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.

I’d rather have a T-Rex. Lots of elements could be crammed into a small site given the nature of the track design. And if the lift hill is steep enough, heights of 150 + ft are theoretically achievable.

Remember though that T-Rex cannot have transitions as fast as raptors due to the 2 per row seats.

Because they can't have as fast additions we would see no injuries like on WW. No injuries means GP won't sue the Park and have the ride shut down for a couple of months. I would prefer a T-Rex over the S&S.
1.) Steel Vengeance 2.) Maverick 3.) Goliath (SFGAM) 4.) Top Thrill Dragster 5.) Mystic Timbers
Ragin Cajun and Iron Wolf went from Six Flags Great America to Six Flags America. I guess they weren't GREAT anymore.

Oh, of course, I’m aware of the difference in track gauge. A benefit of T-Rex track is that it requires fewer support columns than conventional coaster steel track, which translates into quicker transitions from one element to another, and therefore more elements, all things being equal.

I haven’t heard anything and googled it and nothing came up.

I think earlier in this thread, there was a post on facebook that showed someone's back beat up from the ride.

So what? People get beat up on all sorts of rides. Obviously this isn’t a widespread thing so it’s something only people who bruise extremely easily would have to be worried about. Overall, I hear Raptors are great additions and would love to see a high capacity single rail ride come to our park.
I gon' cut you...

Why is high capacity and raptor used in the same statement?

I get it, the moving station helps but when you have idiots with loose articles they'll never meet dispatch interval.

Now that I saw the announcement for Steel Curtain at Kennywood. I would like to see something like that come to our park. Maybe have it as a launch coaster would be good.

Oops, I meant a high capacity version of a raptor (T-Rex or other form of ride with similar intensity and experience).

I would wait for it to see how it does with the crowds. Then we can put one in

I doubt we would ever get anything like The steel curtain in the near future. I would love for it to come to the park though
