^Raging Bull is 202 feet tall. The drop is 208 feet.
Not that that changes the classification of anything, lol. Gravity Group fan
So Chang will be shorter than Bull as it does not even reach 150 feet.

Sure. But, the floorless aspect of Chang will possibly make it much more interesting, along with the inversions.
Ok, talk about Chang in the Chang Forum Topic!
(sings)If you want to be my Chang-y, doesn 't matter if your black or white, or brown, or blue, or green, or red, or orange, or mauve, or yellow...
2010 trips- Dollywood, SFGAm, maybe SoCal
It seems that Chang and Little Dipper should be one topic...
Gravity Group fan
Yeah, Maybe then I can finally stop telling people Wrong topic!

So, Dipper is all gone from Kiddieland now? How many weeks will it take for it to rise again? I'm guessing if it in fact does go to the BBNP area it will still take a while and the station maybe the longest?

I'm thinking it's going to go in BBNP as well seeing that there really is no other spot besides SWF. Hopefully Little Dipper will bring more people to that deserted area of the park. There really aren't any rides besides kiddie rides in that area of the park between Batman and Iron Wolf.

Was at the park this afternoon for employee hire event and posted some new pics of the Little Dipper close up. It has not moved since it arrived, which is understandable.

That is storage. SFGAm has nowhere to put all that indoors. Plus when it's erected it's going to sit outside for the rest of it's life anyways. Not sure which you are talking about but Chang has been outdoors for 12 years now and Little Dipper for over 40.

Yes i know, but it seems like it would get even more worn getting soaked in that snow.

^btw, your signature makes no sense.
"bizzaro number 1! Top 5 steel - #1: Nitro, #2 Bizzaro..." Gravity Group fan
Haha a bit off topic... But have you gone on Bizzaro? At the end of the ride it has "Bizzaro" chanting that through the speakers on the trains. Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.

The entire right hand side of the employee parking lot was full and the other side was 50-60% full. I believe the way SFGAm hires is first come = better jobs. I know if you are only 15, you are only allowed to do certain Non-ride based tasks. But if you want to be on the Raging Bull / Giant Drop team for example, those people get in the first day (today) to secure their position.
Rob, was it just me or did S:UF look far darker than usual? Was it just the snow?
Do they let you in the park, or is the event held in a building outside of the park premises?
I posted this in the BBNP thread, I thought I would post it here.
This is where I think little dipper will go:  Gravity Group fan
Mhhm.. thats the ideal spot
