Not sure, but going by what I've been told, it probably would have been a good thing ;)

SOB's second hill/helix entry section collapsed in a nasty windstorm in late 1999/early 2000.

Makes sense. I'm wondering if the park asked them to post that so people wouldn't have any doubts about the coaster being solid when it opens?

Can anybody hear translate that youtube vid into english? At very least, put some butitles on it?

I am a bit rusty on my Dutch but I believe she said something to the effect of: “What are these people crazy? That rickety thing fell over in a gust of wind. There is no way we are getting on that not-so Great Coaster. It’s all good though because it probably did not have much air anyway. Sure GG’s bents may be ugly, but you won’t see The Voyage blowing over any time soon. Let’s all book a trip to HW this spring since it is obvious this ride won’t be ready…”
