They really should have built an entirely new station.

^Why? They have a perfectly good station there that fits the theme. Why would they need a new one?

^Same thing with Shockwave. They kept the station when they built SUF and it fits in great.

Cause basically all they kept was the shell. It looks like it would have been easier to build a new one. Just my opinion. And FRD they kep the quee house when they build suf, not the station.

Meh, I'm more impressed with The Voyage's 24 seconds of airtime then being 188ft above ground. I could do that on Viper at SfMM.

I think that Voyage looks like a more exciting ride but that doesn't mean that El Toro is a bad coaster. That 180 ft 76 degree drop looks really intense. I wish that SFGAM would replace Eagle with a coaster just like Voyage. It might fit. That would be cool.

I have noticed that with all of them. Tatsu, El Toro, and Patriot all haven't been doing much vertical construction lately. Or maybe they have and it just isn't showing. :?

You have to remember that with El Toro, its a pre-fab coaster which means they have to receive the parts from Over-seas which could explain the delay.

They probably ran out of money to fund it.
