The Goodyear tires on the trains

Will Cedar Point ever re attach the Goodyear tires on the back of the trains?

No, they wont. I even wrote cedar point a letter earlier this year asking this same question, and Monty Jasper said,

"The theming gave way to extra seats for additional capacity. I would say at this point, these theming items will not return."

I think the tires not returning is more likely caused by one of them flying off despite being bolted on. The only way those tires would stay put for sure would be to weld them to the axel it seems.

will the spoilers ever be reattached?

Probably not, but none of us know for sure, we'll just have to wait and see.

I dought it. Plus it would look weird with a Spoiler on it and no tires.

You "dought" it? What the hell are they teaching you in school?

Looks like its time for the bi-weekly "will theming return?" thread.

Though I'd love to see the theming return, reality shows that it is just not going to happen. You can say all you want about how cool they looked at it made the ride look 10 times better, but nothing will happen. Like cheese on a stick said, this is far from the first time this has been dicussed. It took me to this May to finally realize it's not worth arguing about this issue. Enjoy the pictures with the theming attached because that's the most you'll see of the wonderful theming on the trains.

I'm curious to know why this wasn't the case with the original design. The wheels didn't have to be functional, so why not weld and bolt them to the frame.

Jeff, its that new grammar where through like 3rd grade they don't correct spelling. As long as you spell it phonetically correct you get an A. Aren't you glad your taxes go toward this system?

If they were welded to the frame they could not be removed for repairs and replacements, functional or not they are exposed to the elements

Maybe if they were bolted on there they would be fine. If I'm not mistaken the tires were able to spin. Why would they be able to do that, I don't know.

Don't the big black things sticking out of the trains have something to do with the spoilers? If so why are they keeping them on? Maybe they're saving them for some reason. Or maybe they can't take them off.

Because they also serve as the rear bumper for each train. Wouldn't want to go tearing those out...

The tires were bolted on just like a car. but they kept breaking them and the tires became free, the accident probably would have been prevented but they would stop spinning by the time they reached the unload station that night one flew off so the ride ops didn't notice. If you where ever there to see the tires spinning, they weren't supposed to be able to.
