There may be a similar new style of ride that intamin produces but you need to remember that TOT was the first of its kind, only to be followed up by a second of its kind and then no more were made. Intamin provided support for these two experimental rides way longer than they realistically should have. Especially in the case of DW who were already limping theirs along because they only opted for the cheap, quick and dirty upgrade, many years ago. Along with all of the other reasons stated by @franky.
Really it should have been removed and salvaged for Six Flags Magic Mountain about 5 years ago. Then maybe the one at Six Flags would have more than about 2-5 years left in its lifespan. -
ITT: Everyone is jumping on @DaptoFunlandGuy because he made a comment and now everyone is an expert and thinks he is trying to personally kill his entire neighbourhood.

Can someone Smol bean English on here?

You'll see the full tunnel removal before the track gets removed from in there

If that’s the case, I’d be getting your system checked by an independent solar installer. That’s not typical behaviour.

Meanwhile i'm just impressed with the excavator operator not only wading through at least a foot of water, but also balancing the tracks on the unsecured rocks as it tries to not accidentally run into raised rampways.

Yay, free crap

Holy crap, they are speeding along with this thing!

Look, I didn't wanna be the first to say it but if the rafts can get a conveyor to the top then should be able to as well!
Conveyor belts and people have never gone wrong... right? -
It also doesn't help that Taipan is built on a berm with a giant retaining wall at the back. It pushes out much further than the boundaries for Gold Rush ever did and it's elevated right up to the train line. It will look very out of place until the groundworks and landscaping is complete. Having to circle the whole park just to get to the northern side near GD is a bit of a pain and really adds to taipan looking out of place too.

Oh no, they heard my comment about Steel Taipan going into technical rehearsals on Leviathans opening date

Accidentally opens it for technical rehearsals the same day that Leviathan is supposed to open

All signage and official words from DW have been that it will be open in December. It is still the case unless something big causes a delay

Buzzsaw has been testing most of the day so it’s possible it could reopen tomorrow when it’s maintenance period is over

Taipan is starting to take nice shape as it grows into the sky.
more importantly though, this tree. Tied down because it kept running away.

Incidentally, it's not just a theme park thing; The proposals for Brisbane Olympics is a classic external example of small thinking. Did you know they're going to totally rebuild the Gabba, and when they're done it will have 5,000 more seats for a total of 50,000? Meanwhile Stadium Australia for the Sydney Olympics which they did some big thinking for was 110,000. Same with the GC comm games too.
Isn't this plan to add the extra 5000 seats also super complicated? Like lifting the whole stadium and demolishing a good portion of it to be rebuilt? So much unnecessary money and work for such a little return. (though I feel that could sum up anything the government does)

Thank god JFK didn’t think going to the to moon was too “complicated.”
TBF, he knew it was complicated but he cared more about beating the Russians. So maybe they just need some actual competition?

In my personal opinion, someone must have croaked to produce these abominations.
Surely there's something that can help remove this stain from our park history?

I'm pretty sure Mack updated their support structure design process recently which allowed them to cut down on some of the spaghetti they used to have

No I don’t maybe the fact that I have a life outside of this space and time is critical. After this comment makes me question the engagement piece. Anyhow i am going to leave this right here. Have a great day everyone.

This kind of proves otherwise though?
Most of your posts on here have been in response to someone saying something about you. Wasn't the reason you originally started posting because you were having problems with @T-bone making comments? I was just stating what appears to be the truth based on the history, not having a jab at anyone. -

See I think its crazy we have such a long ride like Rivals, yet it only has two trains. I feel it's a ride that could have had 3 trains in operation at once since its a 1.2km track, with a 4th in maintenance. I get SE can only use 2 at once since its so short, but I'd like to see it have 3.
GL I feel was built with the mindset to be a capacity monster like SD, being 6 in operation at once with one in maintenance. But it sounds like from what people say here, the computer chucks a hissy fit at any more than 4 at once, regrettably reducing capacity.
It's also a matter of sacrificing a nonstop layout. Rivals has trims and you feel those. If it had sections where you could completely stop because their terrible operations have caused the train to stack again, it's a pretty boring ride.
