One of the points made in the video that I really didn't think about until now was that he said this would be a Topper Track coaster, and not an I-Box track coaster like Texas Giant is now and Rattler will be. That certainly brings the cost down more. It also means this will be somewhat less of a thrill coaster. I was beginning to picture TG's crazy new drop going into SDC's ravines... a beautiful though, but maybe a bigger coaster will do that someday. Now I kind of feel like the maintainence cost issue factored into this decision a lot. I don't know how much money the chain spends on OzCat, Thunderhead, and Cheetah, but maybe they are growing wearisome of maintaining wood coasters to their high standards.
Still, it could be a great ride. I just hope they know what they're doing with this being a very different kind of ride than Texas Giant was. I trust them though, it seems like they have done great work so far.
