CHANG WATCH: The Official Topic

[tp41190]

T2 is nothing....

I think it's more in your head that anything. There are a lot of other coasters out there that are rougher than T2.

[FParker185]

It depends on the day. Usually on SLC's they do certain maintenance once a week. The day of, the SLC can be quite smooth, including T2, I've had really smooth rides on it, then the more time that passes it gets more and more violent, until it's beyond un-ridable.

[monsterfan99]

I would. Do you know how rough, and painful Vekoma SLCs are?!

Compared to T2, other SLC's are B&M's. It was even worse then Iron Wolf.

[Chitown]

T2 is pretty bad.

The one SLC I rode that I didn't mind re-riding was Serial Thriller at Geauga Lake (now Thunderhawk at Michigan's Adventure). For some reason that particular SLC didn't have the "jackhammer" effect.

So I presume lines are very short for T2?

[FParker185]

I've seen lines for T2 anywhere from walk on to 1.5 hours. It will be closer to 1.5 hours anytime after May, especially if it's running one train (normal), and now without Chang T2 is the biggest coaster in the park.

[tp41190]

^It may be that bad on a Saturday. But on weekdays expect walk ons for pretty much everything.

[onyxhotel08]

So I guess people DO like T2 and now with Chang gone it is the star attraction at SFKK? I found only 1 video if it on youtube and it was NOT a on-ride video.

[monsterfan99]

^For the back half of the park, it is the star sadly. Thunder Run is better but is also rough. The two coasters in the front of the park are the parks best.

[Jcoaster95]

The only thing that would really get me to go there is if they still had starchaser. It would also help if they still had twisted sisters running, chang, hellevator, Rainbow, and of course, better maintenance

[FParker185]

StarChaser was a JetStar, same as Tigrr at IB. A heck of a lot closer to home

[Jcoaster95]

^I know that, but starchaser obviously had better theming. I've always wanted to buy a jet star and put it indoors.

To bad, it was only a water main pipe!

He could have easily been talking about the pipe for the flumes.

[vprlvr456]

what about the stairs?

[DejaVu2001]

^ The stairs are used to walk down into the hole

[onyxhotel08]

There were TWO confirmed supports....with some possibly still covered in snow.

[rcoaster]

I highly doubt this is a water main pipe.

Unless it's from kentucky and coincidentally painted the same as Chang's supports.

[DejaVu2001]

^^ There is one support, and only one support. Nothing more has been spotted or confirmed by a reliable source.

[onyxhotel08]

One was spotted with the staircase early November and one recently covered in snow with Iron Workers KY written on it. TWO

[david]

Sad that your blind.

Those are the same support.

See the paint scraping spots?

[onyxhotel08]

The earlier post had the picture taken from far away. I did not realize it was simply a close-up. It is still rather odd only 1 support has been spotted. Why wouldn't the supports be kept together? Like the track is?

Yeah, Cause we all know that B&M supports make great replacement pipes.

You know, Shapiro really loves theming! That's why it's blue!!!

IBE SOLBED DUH PUSSLE!

[vprlvr456]

^ English Please?

[coastercrazy]

I am pretty sure the water pipe he was talking about was the one spotted on the service road by S:UF.
