No.

The actions of the way this coaster has come into being and been operated speaks louder than any words we could type.

That and Universal's unhappiness with it.

 

[Eckert]

You know how embarassing it'd be for Universal to have to get rid of HRRRRRRRRR?

 

[Jmaff]

Is it really that bad? I want to ride it if I go this summer. I knew there were problems before its opening but I stopped following this board after it opened.

Whats the problem?

 

[Tbad556]

They've had several valleys(none with people on board), due to weather(cold and windy) and are no longer running it when it is below 60 degrees outside.

New HRR Slogan, Come ride our state of the Ride coaster in The Spring and Summer. Sorry during peak events, like HHN, Mardo Gras and Macy's we don't want guest to ride so they can focus on the event, Thank You and enjoy Manta.

This ride is simply put nothing short of a disaster. A $45,000,000 headache.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but they started putting up the banner on the lift again. Yesterday, about 3/4 of the lift was covered with a banner. It was a windy day, but the banner held up fine so far. Also, it's different than the first one.

 

[Tbad556]

Whoa, I have not heard or seen anything about a banner being placed up again. Was the banner similar to the previous one?

Thank God! The exposed lift hill was an annoyance to me. Thanks for the news! :thumbs:

BriMan is live at Universal Studios and just sent me this picture. The banner on the lift hill is back..

Ok who wants to start a pool on how long it will last this time?

Over/Under is 10 days... I'll take the over but just barely.

 

[Brian G.]

More pictures of the banner.

 

[DisneyFanKevin]

Great pics, Brian! :thumbs: As far as how long, I say a week. Tops.

 

[Jakemeister]

I hope they learned their lesson and it's built better this time.

 

[Tbad556]

Thanks for all of the pictures, Briman. I personally think(and hope) that it will last quite awhile this time around. I just think that they would have learned their lesson the first time with the banner but you never know.

 

[violarum]

This is great, but what's with all of you bashing Universal for their newest roller coaster? It's Mauhrer Sohne's fault for not taking Florida into account.

 

[Jmaff]

I don't have a right to say anything because I haven't rode it yet. Hope it is fun if I go in the summer. I might cry if we dont go here...thats how much I love Universal lol!


Whats the big difference between this banner and the first one? Thicker? More restrained?

 

[BJCool]

I love this design so much more than the lift hill saying the coaster's name. Great pics :happy:
