Which trains will the new CCIs use?
Jeff probably thought you were prompted to start this thread based on the editorial in First Drop (it was First Drop, wasn't it?) which stated CCI forced parks to use the Gerstlauer trains. You didn't imply that the parks didn't have a choice, but it was an easy conclusion to jump to based on the recent buzz about this misconception. I for one like both trains. Call me crazy.

Off topic a bit (it regards GCI and not CCI) but this does deal with trains...
There was a rumor floating around that Hersheypark may be refitting Wildcat with "Mellinnium Flyer" trains (as on Lightning Racer) in the next few years. Anyone hear anything about this?

Yup, Cornball Express will be using just one PCT train (would like to see two, but oh well). I'll be waiting on the midway to get that one perfect picture of the trains from Cornball and Hurricane crossing on the lift hills!

I hope this is false, those trains are HORRIBLE. Talk about ruining a good ride...:(

B&M Webmaster, are you kidding? Out of thousands of comments I have heard about those trains, your's is the first negative one!
If you really don't like them, why? Everyone, including me, RAVES about them. The only criticism is that the lap bars need a little reworking so the Gs don't puch them down so much.
Just curious

B & M webmaster speak for yourself. Its alright to express your opinions, but where are your facts to support the allegation? I think that is dumb if you ask me. I happen to have ridden both coasters,(LR & Wildcat)and I think that Wildcat would benefit alot from that retrofitting. I love wooden coasters and there are few coasters that hurt me to ride them. Wildcat is one that does. I have to ride it the front seat at all times. I love the coaster and the layout its just a relenting ride that doesn't stop until the end. The way that Lightning Racer is a great ride with just as twisted of a layout(as The Wildcat) leads me to believe that those trains would be perfect for the Wildcat. I can ride Lightning Racer from any seat and have a comfortable ride. I'd like to do that on The Wildcat too.
