The teasers I'm referring to are these photos, captioned as "What is going on?"

Ah, okay.

now that they have a new wooden coaster on the way; they should take a wreaking ball to that headache machine, they call 'The Grizzly'. All that space could be used for something fun and NOT painful.

[AndrewoplisWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

^ Whats with all this talk of Grizzly being "Painful"? I never found it to be that rough, its just so.. BORING!

Not gonna lie, that photo is pretty humorous. But I agree with Andrewoplis, Grizzly isn't really painful at all, just boring. But the GP loves that thing, which means it makes complete sense to keep the Grizzly. My big wish for the ride is new trains, maybe some PTCs or something. I'm not a fan of the Morgans at all.

maybe painful was a bit harsh...but it is a pretty ruff and bumpy ride, and I've gotten a headache every time in recent years.

Don't you mean GCI's? PTCs would just tear the track apart I believe. Their 3-seater trains are good for classic coasters, but when it comes to new twistier and faster ones, they seem to love to roughen up the ride experience.

What about the extra seatbelt that only allows about 3 inches of slack?

GCI won't allow the Millennium Flyers on rides outside of the ones they built, and Grizzly is far from a new twisty fast coaster. The PTCs work great on KD's Grizzly and that thing is much faster and more thrilling than CGA's.

Slack? Where'd you hear about slack in the seatbelts? I wish it had 3 inches of slack. With the noodles as far down as it goes, the belt *just* makes it to the buckle. Definitely could use some new trains, if it's cost effective to do so when it's time the Morgan trains reach the end of their life.
