Not sure yet. I'm aiming for a mid-Feb issue and a final mid-March.

If you were to build a large-scale woodie again (e.g. Hades, Voyage), would you work on making it smoother and make it so you can easily re-ride many times without "punishing" you?

Not sure about the intensity of the turns, but I can confirm the maintenance advantage as it was stated by Waldameer park owner Paul Nelson that Ravine Flyer 2 was going to cost them more up front but have less maintenance over time than a woodie with a wooden support structure. More here:

The Gravity Group formed after CCI broke up. My question is… How is working for the Gravity Group different then it was working for CCI?

What do you think is your best ride?
What do you think is the best ride you haven’t designed?
What do you think about rough epoxies getting The Texas Giant Treatment?

For the last one I meant woodies Not epoxies

Why aren't timberliners going on the new china coaster with the high-5 element and Voyage at Holiday World? is there something wrong with them? has Mt. olympus talked about a timberliner or two for Hades along with transfer track?

However, their new high five element is 90 degrees and it has a wooden structure.

True. Wood supports couldn’t hold up and take 90 degree turns.
