Back on topic here...does anyone know if Shockwave is definitely down for the rest of the season?
Not sure, but I'm *thinking* that the NTG incident may have pushed the repairs on Shockwave up the proverbial to-do list. If Labor Day weekend rolls around and either of them is operational, I'll call it a win.
Tekwardo, it may depend on how often you've ridden it before. Voyage, my number one woody, had been ridden by me only about five times (best 5 laps on any non Beast night ride coaster). If I went HW, I'd be very sad if it wasn't working.
Then Beast, which I have ridden about 50 times, would make me sorta disappointed if it were broken, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. Beast I'd my #2 favorite ride.
Then, Shivering Timbers, a top five woody of mine, has been ridden by me 100+ times. If it were broken, I'd be very ok with it. I mean, there's always next time, and one of my greatest friends and cousin lives 15 minutes away. I'd just go there.
What I'm getting at I'd that the amount of times ridden makes a difference when you talk about how much you feel like you need to ride it. I'd be interested to know how often you've ridden NTG.
To me, a Texas trip will be a wasn't of mine, but I know it's not going to happen for ten or so years if I have a nice job because I don't think my family would want to spend a lot of money on a Texas trip where we basically only do theme parks. NTG looks insane. Iron Rattler does too.
Not interested in drama from elsewhere on the Internets. No one here cares.

Are the trains on IR Gerstlauer trains as well? Not quite understanding why they'd have to shut down Iron Rattler when there was an accident on NTG unless the trains were the same manufacturer (I am guessing they are).

I was at SFoT today. Giant didn't test as far as I could tell. Seat belts are on trains. Lap bars still looked to be black. Station still tarped over. I seriously doubt it will be up by the 8th. I would be incredibly surprised if it came back up before Fright Fest and pretty surprised if it came back up before Holiday in the Park.
