I am actually very interested to see the layout of this coaster. It sounds like it has a lot of potential. They'll have three great woodies then: Boss, Sreamin' Eagle and this.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.
It appears to be pretty similar to Thunderbird the GCII woodie at PowerPark in Finland. Supposedly from people who've ridden, it's some of GCII's best work. This holds alot of promise, to bad SFGAm is stuck with a Standard Off The Shelf Portable Wild Mouse, IN A BOX!!!!!!!

This ride looks good, and after riding the Boss, they DEFINITELY need Millennium Flyers to keep most of these people on wooden coasters. Do you think the negativity surrounding the Boss will affect people from wanting to ride it? Man, two coasters in two years, and in the past, they barely had any...GO SFSt.L!

I'd like to see the coaster have a long, drawn out and even rampy hill spanning the bus parking lot (or at least a few active spaces). But I guess it will have to do as it is

i'm excited for this coaster. It only adds to how much I want to make a trip out there next year. Haven't gotten to ride Tony Hawk's Big Spin yet either so this way, i can knock out two coasters with one trip.

Why would this be a bad thing? If anything, now they will dedicate this coaster in his memory and all he accomplished.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
That's not what I meant. You referenced saying this wouldn't help SF's cause by naming the coaster after him. I say it won't hurt the cause and they will proceed forward with it. The advertisement and marketing for it will probably now shift to naming this coaster in his memory.
If ACE can slap plaques in front of coasters, SF shouldn't have a prob doing it with Kenivel.
Of course with your smiley at the end, you were probably joking but still wanted to point it out.
