No El Toro for Opening Day

<< < (5/7) > >>

Nitro1118:
February is usually the worst month for snow, so we shall see. The good thing is that the 2nd half will go up very quickly, but I said that over a month ago when this was topped off, but they have done very little vertical construction since then, none of the PDC, none of the theming, station is still a mess, etc...

Oh well, I can't wait to ride!

chilled182:
I do not see the point of not having a least the ride ready for opening day.  However, i guess now that i think about it we are the only people that go for opening day, and i guess its too cold for most of the GP to hit the park.

Nevertheless, i'm still disappointed.

It wont snow so much in February.  We keep getting these warm fronts coming in, and the horses at my girlfriend's barn are already shedding their winter layers.  I don't mean to be a farmer or say anything crazy like that.. but that's a sign that winter isn't going to be that much longer.

We'll see it go up fast i think as soon as the drop is finished.

ChuckR:
The station actually is all ready for track to be put in. They were finishing up modifying it for El Toro at the top off.

blazzinmatt:
Thats good to know though Chuck. I mean some progress we don't see from the pictures on the site so its nice to know that there are other things going on that we don't know and some progress is actually being made on the ride in terms of other than the lift hill.

--- Quote ---Yes....every ride at CP is open on opening day (yes, even TTD opened with the park in 2003), HW's Voyage, which is a MUCH larger project than Toro will be ready for May, SFOG's Goliath will be all ready for their opening day, Hydra was open for DP's opening day, the Italian Job's have opened/will open with their respective parks, Nitro and Medusa opened with GADV....most parks open their new coasters on opening day

Ok, so I missed a couple , but I will and did still ride those coasters  the first year they were built. It's not a big deal that the coaster won't be open for three weekends in April. That's only 9 days of operation. It's not like that's the only ride going to be open come opening day. I can wait.


--- Quote ---Viper being knocked down earlier wouldn't have done much in terms of keeping RT open, as vertical construction couldn't have started with RT open.

They wouldn't have had to gone vertical. They could have put in footers Earlier than Oct 2nd worked on the station. cleared out the whole infield of RT. With Viper gone  it would have saved some time is all I'm saying.
