Thunderation?

Looks great,thanks for the update Patrick!

During the design process, Morgan gave Busch the option of a traditional support structure or their special visually interesting support structure that would one day become the subject of a thread on a message board. It was done under the request of Busch. That supporting structure costs a lot of money because of the nature of the columns, not to mention the extra man-hours to design.

The supports were done that way for visual interest.

Great coverage of the event.

Looks like you had fun! How was the roller coaster?

The ride looks really good! You have to admire the hard work the crew has put in to get this coaster built as fast as they did. Can't wait for the first ride.

123 rides, they are really going to pack them in! I look forward to the announcement, I need an excuse to get back to Denver.

The banking looks weird because they have't installed the Y-ledgers yet.

Underground water slides? Cool! Sad to see the place go.

That is great news! I have always been a fan of his work, and enjoy getting to speak with him at IAAPA. I wish him luck with the company.

Not many exist. Shane has some of the best up though. That's what I used (among other things) to make my OE recreation in NoLimits. If you find more, let me know.

Great Pictures! You should post the two photos of Troy over on the Great Coasters Facebook page.

Worlds of Fun is full of history. The former entrance to the Zambezi Zinger was used for the entrance to Boomerang up until a couple years ago, when it was converted into a haunted house. The former station for the Orient Express now houses a haunted house and Club Blood. The coaster's tunnel is also used for the attraction. Yellow/Brown building, upper left. Timberwolf occupies the old station for Screamroller/Extremeroller (Arrow Corkscrew). As an added bonus, some of the footers for the corkscrew supports can still be found in this pond. Here is one of the old sky heis (chair lift) stations in a new life.
