Tower of Terror 2 closing

[Jdude95]

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.

I wouldn't say their current version is even in the same class as TOT, it just looks smaller, slower, and boring (to me)

 

 Having ridden Turbo Track you're bang on the money. It had no real wow factor when I rode it. The launch wasn't very forceful and the bunny hop didn't really give much airtime at all.

Isn't Turbo Track just a boneless Impulse coaster?

It seems like the dumbest coaster ever. They went to replace a shot tower, so they spent millions on a ride that’s shorter and arguably worse. 🤷🏼‍♂️

First time i've seen a video of Turbo Track and it looks horrendous. 

The best thing about it is the LCD screens and signage

It's the epitome of not telling your client no when they suggest a shit idea and clipping the ticket anyway.

Having ridden it, it is by far the most underwhelming coaster I’ve ever been on

Mick Doohan's Motocoaster has entered the chat.

That’s some pretty terrible content. He called Dreamworld “Dreamland” at one point, speculated wildly and passed it off as fact and then recycled the same three shots a hundred times. 

[Smol bean]

He got the name dreamworld right the first time so how did he mess up the name after he already said the correct name.

I thought all awesome youtube channels did that?

Awesome, I was hoping that boxy tunnel thing would be removed as part of this.

Definitely Gold Coast Theme Parks

I’m hoping they get rid of the building and this shelter too (that this photo was taken under) that I haven’t seen be used in over a decade.

I think it's one of those niche pages that start out focussing on a small part of a small topic, and then run out of content, so they just start update-spamming every new garbage bin installation at the parks in a desperate ploy for clicks to try to stay relevant. 

I think I saw them post something about trading hours the other day - something i've sorely needed since TPSN blocked me for posting too many fountain updates.

Here you go @DaptoFunlandGuy

Who needs a nice watermark when you can just plaster the photo with shit?

The tunnel has now been demolished pretty much up to the station building. Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ4_HAgp7IB/?utm_medium=copy_link
