Just a heads up on Cyclone if you were wondering, they haven't started on the paint job yet. I should have stopped and taken a pic of it while I was driving by it. I know, shut up Wes.

Has anyone noticed that throughout the construction of Intimidator, Vortex is nowhere to be found. If they were going to be repainting it shouldn't there be some sort of sign that its going to be repainted. I mean there are pics on this site of Intimidator, Planet Snoopy, and even TR being worked on, but with Vortex being so close to Nighthawk and Intimidator and for it not to show up in any photos seems a little odd.

Did anyone noticed throughout the construction of carolina cobra that borghawk was nowhere to be found...until closer to the season/when the season started? And if im not mistaken vortex was no where to be found when borghawg was being constructed but it was painted then. Most times when parks show off painting a ride is when nothing else is going on. Their new for 2010 is planet snoopy and intrimidator so yes, they are gonna show those and not foreshadow them by throwing the painting of 2 other coasters in mix. And the pictures of TR were done by one of us, and not the park...

Yeah, it is by many!


It was only their 3rd coaster built (open to the public). Give B&M a break...lol
Anyways...I dont "hate" it, but I understand why many don't prefer this type of ride; being a man and all...lol
