But where? Aside from the 2nd hill, Wild Thing doesn't *have* airtime. -Nate Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:40:38 GMT Jon http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32886 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32886 ... Okay you are technically correct, the Voyage has turns. It is at its core an "out and back" and has burned up lots of it energy on "air time" before it Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:37:50 GMT Jon http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32885 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32885 ... Since I enjoy just about any roller coaster, that wouldn't make for very interesting conversation.

I know that it needed retracking but not a complete rebuild.

I wouldn't say dismantled... it's being upgraded undergoing a massive refurbishment that will keep it closed until the 2011 season. ...

I think that's exactly the point. Who cares what your phone says? I judge by how much *I* enjoy a ride. :) -Nate Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:53:00 GMT jay_ducharme http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32878 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32878 ... I find it amusing that our phones are now telling us what is real. I'd prefer to hear it from a person. :-) Jay Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:49:40 GMT brian farral http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32877 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32877 Remember, that's just what his iPhone says and your results may vary. I just got the Motorola Droid phone, and while I haven't ridden any coaster with it yet, Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:20:27 GMT Nate Kohlrusch http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32876 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32876 ... Which Voyage did you ride? Aside from the first three or so hills, the lift, and the brake run I don't think there's a single section of straight track on Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:43:09 GMT munkye1972 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32875 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RollerCoasterTalk/message/32875 Totally agre with Mike. That's a great suggestion, Jon. I also agree that, typed out in the way that you have, it does make you come off as snooty or jerkish.

As such I would like to ask what you see as the goal / use /
