I don't doubt it. It's a very "Americanized" version of European things.

Those pictures of Alpengeist with the fireworks in the background are just amazing!
Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't wanna live there.

Haha. I guess Ravine Flyer runs better than you realize because in fact every seat on any PTC two bench train is a wheel seat. Their last trailored trains to run were on Predator and they have been retired. Only two bench non wheel seats are going to be Morgan these days as far as I know.
So Arrow was the bomb. I said that out loud :oops:

^Well the front rows don't have the bench directly over the wheels like the back rows do. I mean, technically, your feet are over the wheels, but rides are noticeably smoother in the front rows on the two-row PTC trains.

Great report, as always.



Ummm, no one seems to point out the name Vettle Engineering...EVERY single roller coaster source guide has his name spelled Vettel! Everywhere you can possibly look, thats how its spelled!


I knew something with that name looked off, but after reading it out loud I said to myself, "no, that's right." Ha, I'm not going crazy.

I rode that ages ago when it was located at Dogpatch USA. My cousin and I loved it back then. Of course, being 25 or so years ago, I was obviously a bit smaller, which probably helped.

The old cars are from the comet, before they changed the colors to the orange and green. Not sure if they're the original ones or if there was another set before them though.
