Will Koch & Mike Graham take the first ever human Timberliner ride.

That squeaking is really annoying but whatever, should reduce track and train maintenance a lot and increase hourly put through, and make the Voyage more re-rideable. I wonder how the Timberliners will affect the airtime.
This is not my signature.

I'm sure they will find a solution to the squeaking because it's extremely annoying and I am sure they don't want to hear it all the time..lol. The PTC trains were squeaky too, but not that much.

They have some of the chassis off, probably to check the axle/wheel assemblies.

looks good. Except those weird blue things jetting out from the restraints.

Those trains look really stupid. The Millennium Flyers look so much better, and the old PTC trains looked the best. Why the change?

The squeak is from there not being enough lubricant on the tracks. I used to work Shivering Timbers and Mean Streak and after a rain, the trains would squeak.

I think the trains look great. A little different but a welcome addition to the lineup. Hopefully now PTC will step it up and modernize their trains some. Maintenance hate the current PTCs, at MiA and CP at least.

The PTCs beat the poop out of the ride.

I think the trains look a little out of place on a wood coaster, kinda goofy, yet comfortable. Hopefully HW can get the squeaking under control.

^Actually, there are ways to defeat the restraints on the PTCs in the back seat of every car. I will not explain them on any board because it is unsafe, but I have seen it done and it's very scary.

I am really looking forward to the Timberliners simply because there are no seatbelts, which mean quicker dispatches and that means more rides for me at Holiwood Nights! Can't wait to get back to the park!

Actually no, you can get out of them with the restraints down without touching anything outside of the car.
