I wish they would continue making coasters. Screamin' Eagle, Thunderhawk @ DP, Blue Streak, and Great American Scream Machine @ SFOG are great. The Little Dipper is just okay. This company is awesome in my opinion.
I thought PTC's big announcement came several months ago (when Tom Rebbie bought it outright). I'm still waiting for Bill Dauphinee's big announcement about what he's doing now.
Agent Johnson said:The Golden Nugget has nothing to do with PTC's announcement.
Yeah, I was *pretty sure* of that. But I keep hoping that GN will return...someday. Figured this was as good an opportunity as I was going to get to "plug" the ride... ;)
From what I've seen and heard, Morey's announcement is going to be MUCH larger in terms of sheer size/cost.

Have to wonder who ELSE might be in the market for a train like this...lower capacity, but lower maintenance as well - seems well-suited for a smaller park.
So basically they're MilF trains...but not. Four sets of wheels per car? I wonder if the MilF's are patented and that's why PTC had to go with 4 instead of 2.
I survived a Japanese typhoon and the Togo flat ride of death!!!!!!
Well, ACE Con started this past Sunday and ends Saturday. I didn't hear anything. Where did you hear?
Is it ridiculous to hope it coincides with some sort of announcement from Morey's... ;)
Perhaps they're getting back in the coaster-building biz? :)
And how many of the people responsible for those rides are still in the business? I'm guessing zero.
Bill, it's the same capacity as a standard 6-car/2-bench train.
