The wooden coasters in those smaller parks are more important to the park, a bigger investment relative to the rest. They're often an afterthought or just not very significant in the bigger parks. Why spend your budget fixing up an old wooden coaster that's not much of a draw based on ride experience or stats when you can buy something new and shiny, or fix up infrastructure like pathways where more people will notice or otherwise appreciate the difference? Not saying it's right or wrong, it just is what it is.

What annoys me is that the biggest chains, Six Flags and Cedar Point, who you'd think would have the most money, seem to care the least about spending that money to properly service their wooden coasters. Meanwhile you have much smaller, independent parks like Holiday World, Kennywood, and Knoebels going to pains to keep their woodies smooth as glass and as filled with airtime as they were on their opening days.

Corporate stinginess?

Barbisan do some weird stuff. None of it has ever been good.

I don't like a single thing about any of that

This is the weirdest dark-ride I've ever seen.

First, look at it climb the stairs... and yes this is the station:

Dare you climb aboard the nightmare train?

Cyclone, by me and Element115

Azteka at Parc Le Pal ?

Exactly, that was fast! How did you found that fast?

Because this video was poping in my Youtube subscription. Very coincidence haha.

Here's a new one. I'm trying to make something easy.

Working on a Intimidator turnaround and need some critique here or help simplifying this. I'm using a quaternion force section and currently using cubic for the roll graph.

Too bad all parks don't treat their wooden coasters this well.

I think its funny that I still have not been on an RMC and will probably ride Steel Vengeance before I get to ride TC at my home park.

Six Flags has been opening all their new rides on Memorial Day weekend for a while now. The exception being Wonder Woman this year.

I read that they're looking to open Memorial Day weekend.

I made a little tutorial, hopefully this will clarify some things:

We have also had an unusually rainy/snowy winter for us down here, so I am sure that has slowed them down.

Also announced this morning is that Great American Scream Machine will be run backward to start the season. They are apparently using the PTC trains from Cyclone for this which should be interesting.

I would be criticizing six flags for having a lot left to do whereas the cedar fair RMC's are nearly finished, but Georgia Cyclone operated in 2017 so they have a reason I guess

Wonder if they're counting on it not taking long at all.

I stopped by Six Flags over Georgia last night on my way to some friends for dinner to take a look at the progress on Twisted Cylcone. Needless to say, there isn't much to show.

They have repainted the existing wood to a nice shade of grey and have only done trackwork from the station, up the lift and the first drop. What was most interesting is that the crane on site was not put together and rather was just sitting to the right of the ride. They have a lot of work to do still and I can't imagine this will open before late April or early May.
