The Buffalo

[Theme Park Musician]

No still the blue cover in the middle.

RIP! Anyway, i think Drayton could still fit a Mack Rides spinning coaster similar to Dwervelwind next to the Buffalo and it would improve the second entrance as well and if VertiGO is leaving (no one knows the park well enough to see if they'll rip it out) it leaves space. Just get the flipping money and splash the cash to theme it similar to the Buffalo!

A closer look at the new buffalo. Been told with its upgrade there’s no reason it can’t be in the park for another 10+ years

Love the new signage and queue line. Can’t understand why it’s got 2 gates.

Was there last week and it really does look nice in the flesh, they’ve taken care of the old girl.

Don’t know what’s going on but the on ride camera been removed

Don’t understand why the pictures are posting on the side as they were taken forward.

 

[shockwave2019]

wonder why theyve removed the camera. could be a technical issue?

I asked and while testing of the camera the pictures wasn’t that good not sure if they gonna move the camera to over the lake area or put it on the rumoured coaster coming next year.

I mean they still have got the other photo booth so it would make sense!

that it does it would make a lot of sense

They also reviewed guest feedback and the buffalo isn’t the type of coaster you would buy a ride photo on and at times it goes so slow guests on the ground can get a good video/photo of you anyway.

What rumoured coaster?

What rumoured coaster?

Apparently there's some sort of launched coaster coming? I heard it on a different forum too.

Looks like this was Vekoma's proposal to replace Buffalo, I wonder whether this was designed before or after the S&S suspended launch coaster that was going to come in 2018...

I heard Colin watched a POV of how the ride would run and he wasn’t impressed. Don’t know how much it was gonna cost but it wasn’t fast enough and the layout was boring so it was scrapped.

How many years does everyone think The Buffalo has left? It’s had good innings so far but I’ll be sad when it eventually goes for good.

Given the amount of work they did recently I imagine the original plan was to keep it going for at least another 5 years or so.

as far as rollercoasters go it’s a pretty simple one. Just electric motors that’s power it round a track.

I would have thought they could keep it going indefinitely if they really wanted to.

If the Buffalo is staying and with Apocalypse going, I'd like to see them add a smaller drop tower around the buffalo site, maybe something like Venom and theme it as a totem pole to fit in! Not as thrilling, but I love a drop tower and Venom is decent.

Does anyone know what actually happened to the fella in the midde of the train did they just take him out when they shortened the coaster train?

He used to sit over the motor in the middle car. It just has a blue cover now but the car is still there.

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

Would love to buy him if his just lying around backstage. He stupid when he was put on the front of the train.
I wonder why the ride didn’t have the on ride photo set up?
