Blue Streak Titan track?

I think they should put Titian track on blue streak.

No.

It's already been proven that if a park wants to, they can have a wooden coaster that is relatively smoother and enjoyable while not being boring. See Grizzly at Kings Dominion and Beast at Kings Island.

I was recently on the predator at six flags Darian lake, and it's been re tracked with titian track and I actually experienced airtime and it was the smoothest coaster in the park. The last turn around to the end of the ride isn't retracked and it's quite different. It' supposed to be finished for next season.

No way.

It’s an old woodie; it’s supposed to be rough. To me, that’s part of the appeal.

I was thinking no at first but looking at the ads I think it may be the way to go to cut down on the amount of maintenance. Blue Streak was really rough the last time we rode it. I don't remember it ever being that rough.

I've been riding it since 1965 including one year we rode it 24 times in a row in one hour. That was the first year they added seat belts to the original trains. It was quite smooth that year. Since they don't run the original trains it doesn't have quite the same feel of the original with the buzz bars. I think this new track may bring it back to that level of smoothness to enjoy the awesome air time this ride once had.

Hard pass. If they wanted to do the pre-cut engineered stuff from Gravity Group, that would be fine.
