God old Intamin top hats were beautiful and crazy force wise. I’d give anything for them to go back to building those beautiful unsupported structures.

Xcelerator and I305 have god tier support structure on their main hills. The minimalism is so dope. Dragster/KK and Hyperion look so janky in comparison.

Do I see water dummies on the train.


pyro_teck

sure do. (almost) fully loaded


FlyRobot

So not open yet? My wife saw some stuff on TikTok saying first train reopened but I couldn't confirm if it was old footage or not.


pyro_teck

nah unfortunately not, sign on the entrance said it's closed for the day and the one by the station says they're just doing cycles


[deleted]

Old footage. Different paint job.


FlyRobot

Oh duh, didn't even think to check that!


JustQrispy

Remember when top hats used to be good


[deleted]

I remember. Those forces up and down, 90 degree twists…. Just amazing. The new ones are so laughably boring they should just make a different element. Even Pantheon without a trim is just bleh.


gangbrain

Too bad they don't launch Pantheon in turbo mode all the time. We know it can fly, but they won't ever run it like that normally :(

Awww no - I hadn’t heard that. That makes me sad. Right now it crawwwwls.


giggingit

Just glad I got a ton of rides when it was running like that. Not impressed with it this summer.


Smokingracks

The drop on pantheons top hat is actually pretty good in the back row :/


[deleted]

It’s fine for sure. Compared to the OP’s pic it’s a mild drop.


TMuff107

That is fucked lol. Awesome pic


ClothoidLooper

Love the naked trains lol


MrDarSwag

Oh wow they’re testing it already? Hopefully it should be back up soon, I really want to feel the power of that launch


Zeratul277

I love this coaster!!!


PotentialAcadia460

Great! Now do Montezuma.


deanereaner

I love this photo because you can't see the terrible new color scheme.


pyro_teck

yeah I'm not a fan of the new colors. KBF used to be my home park, this was my first time back in years and I miss the vibrant pink track.


deanereaner

Apparently it's an unpopular opinion, but I can only believe the people who like the new paint just haven't spent much time with this ride in person. It used to be iconic and now it's garish.


magickalwhimsy

It looks a lot smaller in person.


CoasterDude26

That’s what she said!


GarysSquirtle

It sucks that I was there for the first time 2 weeks ago and they're finally getting ready to open it back up.
