FireChaser Express - full animation

It's ok to pick on kids, but not women.

Or something.

Or Maverick.

Sucks.

Or Pancakes.

It's never OK to pick on pancakes...

Waffles, sure, but NOT pancakes.

Yeah, but the broads that stick around have a good sense of humor. Quality over quantity wins every time.

(incidentally, it's also what Holiday World needs IMHO).

As much as I love HW, and can understand their expansion plans relative to their market, I've never understood why there isn't something between Howler and Raven. A mouse, a roller-skater, even a Galaxy/Wildcat/Zyclon like they used to have. Something to ease the progression from a 10 foot to a 105 foot tall ride.

Well there's very few mouse-, roller skating-, or outer space-themed holidays.

Great looking ride. The initial release and description left me expecting something far less impressive. I'm making plans to visit DW for the first time next spring and I'm glad to see this ride looks like a lot of fun.

This place would beg to differ:

Really jumping on late here, but wow...this is nothing that I had imagined based on what their initial description was. It sounded so...dull...but this looks like an amazing little ride, and fits perfectly in Dollwood's lineup.

Looking forward to going back in a couple years.

This is exactly the kind of creative and exciting attraction I'd like to see Cedar Fair invest in. Imagine how much more interesting the Planet Snoopy expansion at the Point would have been with something like this for an anchor.

With a top speed of just under 35mph and launches that only go up to 20mph, it's definitely "family friendly". Still looks really fun! I'd ride it :)

This coaster looks like it could be a Blast.

The FireChaser Express lead car was unveiled today at IAAPA

Jason, show us the restraints... so we can start complaining about them.

Lol. I'll see what I can do. I'm not down there. A friend of mine sent this to me.

I'm going to spend some time there tomorrow... I'll try to make some time for photos.

^^^ I know you're funning, but here's a good view of the restraints and seats. If you click forward and back there are more pics of the lead car.

Sucks.

It looks roomy and comfortable for a kids coaster.

Sorry Travis, but I read your post in the voice of Herbert. Whistling "s" sounds and all.

mmmmmm

Meh, I didn't have time to get everywhere I wanted, but I did snap a few photos for our Facebook page.
