Curious to see if it would make a stop at Busch Gardens, or just stop in Ybor

I'm all for it really

Even if it doesn’t, a bus going back and forth between the station and the park is a sure thing.

I don’t know if it would encourage people to visit more since SeaWorld already run a bus.

The rail would be quicker, in theory

Doesn't matter where it stops. Busch can easily shuttle people from the train to the park.

I get the feeling, they'll focus on the remaining events up until Howl-O-Scream launches, for sometime in the early fall until a coaster announcement comes, especially if it's a SkyrocketII.

Still bitter over its removal.

The park needs more than coasters...and if the replacement is a horrible capacity shuttle coaster, I’m gonna be even more upset.

Especially since they've got the room to build so much more. A Skyrocket II seems like a major misstep. I could see them replacing Scorpion with one since it's also low capacity. But clearing TTW opens up a pathway for an out and back hyper a la Mako.

Exactly. I am still hoping it is a big coaster, and if it does end up being a skyrocket, that they add a thrilling flat ride or two in the area as well. A frisbee and/or topspin would be great.

Falcon's Fury closed around mid week last week with no real reason given, could see that the maintenance door was open and they were working on it... Now it's listed as 'Closed until further notice' on the website. They've put an annual maintenance sign in front of the ride. I wonder what's wrong with it :/

It seems to be plagued with issues since opening..I heard rumblings that they were having trouble with the tilt mech not returning to sitting position, if you will, not sure how true that is

I've never seen that happen, I'm here watching them work on it right now. Mechanics are climbing on top of the gondala

Can the ride operate without the tilt?

This is actually a great question...I will try to find an answer too...I assume no, but it makes perfect sense to be able to

Falcon's Fury is great, but doesn't have much force. It relies heavily upon the tilt to make it such a good ride for me.
