^Depending on what year ahead Head Spin was built, it could have been manufactured in Cali or Utah by Arrow Dynamics. If that is the case, the original train would have been an Arrow train also. So yes the track gauge is the same. The Bat at CW runs an Arrow train from Dragon Fire.

It is the same gague track. Arrow licensed out their track design among other things, to Vekoma at one point, and Vekoma even used arrow rolling stock.

I'd heard that the trains on Cobra and Sidewinder weren't capable of direct lateral movement, but I could be wrong. If that's the case, then they couldn't just slap the train on Cyclone or it wouldn't make it successfully to the lift hill. But that's just something is heard at one point by some people, not sure it's true.

PS Headspin ran an early version of Vekoma trains at Geauga. I don't think it ever ran the Arrow trains.

So, is it just a red herring?

That Canada's Wonderland boomerang with the Arrow train is glorious. First time I've ever somewhat enjoyed a boomerang.

How long does it usually take to get out of the park on Saturday nights? I'm going from 4-10 today and I've never been on a Saturday because of the crowds but this is the only time this year I'll be able to go with my dad.

WSOC shared this photo on their facebook page from someone at the park about 30 min ago...

I just saw this on Coaster Crew's Facebook page. Looks like a good deal!

^Kind of irritating that those didn't come out at the beginning of the season, for those that already spent the money on the regular cups.

Does anyone know where the Pick Up location for the Campground Shuttle Bus is? Prior to Fury, it was where the first turn is today roughly.

If you leave through the path that Fury DOESN'T go under you will see a small shelter that looks like a bus stop. It says something like "Tram Station" on it. This is where the bus has gone the last few times I've visited.

Seems as if both webcams are down right now. I wonder how hard it would be to get one of them turned over towards the Thunder Road/waterpark area?

Thank you, this explains why I haven't seen it. I have always use South Gate or the bridge walkway.

Hey all, I have a bit of an unusual request. So I was at the park this past weekend for the first time, and I just realized that I had forgotten to go to the gift shop to look for a t-shirt from the park!
I know this is an odd request, but would anyone who has a season pass or was going to the park be willing to check out the shirts for me? I usually go for the more subtle, vintage-looking shirts; these are the ones I got from my previous park trips for reference. Not sure if there is anything like that in the shops.
If anyone is up for it, I'd be more than willing to pay you back for shipping and buying the shirt, and would even be willing to get you something from Great Adventure of Hershey or anything nearby if you'd like. If you're up for it just reply or PM me or something like that.
On a related note, does Carowinds have those sets of four shot glasses? I've seen them at the other parks four the four biggest rides, but all I could find were all Intimidator-themed ones

I stumbled across this interesting tidbit...

Yahoo is promoting "Awkward Vacation Photos" and some sort of contest aligned with the "Vacation" movie and #39 in the slideshow is an on-ride photo on Woodstock Express. Excuse me for not having a direct link, you'll have to browse through to #39. https://gma.yahoo.com/photos/awkward-va ... 40372.html
