jdc12192 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Its also not as hard to keep a secret as people think and in an odd way, is kind of fun to know something that people don't or won't know for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 29yrs, just out of curiosity, do they notify you when they have finalized plans before releasing it to the public, or is more during the "concept" stage when the idea is still in development? What I'm wondering is if Six Flags had planned to remove RT for more than the one year in advance you were informed of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 It varies. Some years I've learned about things when the public announcement is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiller Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 You are very good at keeping a secrete. I understand why. You do not want to loose the good connection that you have with the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 ^ Thats correct. ^^ Well Railer, it just goes to show you that I can keep a secret !!! I was quoted in the news release for Zumanjaro which I gave several months before that announcement and I got the heads up about RT back in 2012. As I always say, I will share no news before its time! Oh, I know you can. I can too, I did know about the Book about a yr before you made the announcement. I was asking about the memorial, not the removal. Wondering if that was planned 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I don't think we even knew about the book a year in advance! In any case, no I did not know about the Rolling Thunder memorial or if that is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I remember i guessed about the Book, saying how one would be good. I thought it was the prior season in the Park when i ran into you. Long time ago now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittensgirl Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The rolling thunder memorial will be really cool to see in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasmspiritblue Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Coolest rollercoaster memorial ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I hope they don't need the last car of the green train back any time soon. It wasn't easy moving it by myself into the corner of the museum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetish911 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 You should get to keep that car after all that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Any updates on this? Would love to see pictures if it is in fact finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanobieFan Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I love to see the memorial. It's just a great way for an SFI park (WHOA) to create a memorial. Such a nice touch. I never rode RT, and I heard it was rough, but I'm happy they're keeping part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc98 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just went on Zumanjaro two days ago. Did not see any sign of a memorial for Rolling Thunder.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errico5errico Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I went on Zumanjaro Sunday, seems like there is no sign of them putting the trains yet. They're still sitting in where the museum was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Went on el today, looked like they had anti- roll off devices placed at the end of the track, lets hope they are on soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intaminous_Me Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Although I never really liked this ride a lot, I'm still really sad it's gone. It was the first wooden coaster I ever rode. Since it was already really old when I rode it, I guess the condition was a lot better earlier. The trains are still at the park, I went yesterday. I saw them after coming down the camel hump hill of Kingda Ka. They were on hard concrete floor, by the steel fencing that surrounded Green Lantern. They were all faded, the wheels rusted. Aren't they going to do anything with them other than let them bask in hot sun and get drenched in the rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 So maybe this will be ready for 2015? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gencx Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 was this ever confirmed anyway? reading through the entire thread it seems like someone repeated a rumour and we all assumed it was true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 based off the fact that the park left that section of track there and that it was neatly cut away from the rest of the demoed ride I would have assumed this to be true. Now we all know what happens most of the time when things are assumed but in this case it seemed quote plausible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
