    My thoughts exactly. I live about a half hour from Busch gardens and 45 mns from Disney/universal and all that crap and have never been to any of them. Wayyyyyy too impatient.

    There has been some rides of that caliber that has failed over the last number of years. It's a tragedy. Bordering on murder if no one discovered a failing weld before it finally just snaps.

    I would not mind riding those again because I enjoy them. Particularly the mountain rail and the wooden fast coasters. The mountain rail is simply a railroad track fastened to a mountain. You have a sled on it. You control your own braking. Bye off you go. See you at the bottom.
