^No, they are two different beast.

The Hurricane in Myrtle Beach was an out and back with helixes at both ends. It was rough! The Dania Beach Hurricane is an out and back with great airtime and it's fairly smooth!

Here's a link to a live webcam set up across the street:

Those videos are AWESOME!

Nothing better than watching a coaster that deserves to die get it's sentance! Still though, I'd rather have seen all of Family Kingdom get the chair and keep the Hurricane.

I've always wanted to see a coaster set for removal used for a crash test!

Just remove a section of track or buckle it at a point where it'll shake the train loose, and then send it around for the final trip.

I mean, why not? It's going to come down anyway and it'll probably save time too if it takes out other supports when crashing =)

Ouch, that really hurt me. When I rode this coaster, it kicked A$$, in a good way! :b Watching them tear it apart makes me all sad inside :cry:

That was my sons first roller coaster, so it is sad in a way. But the good news is if you rode it right now it is just as smooth as it was 7 months ago =)
