Thank you! So glad there's finally some high quality POVs of my home park. Kind of wish you would've waited a year though since WW and ST both got a lot of new track this year. Everything between the first and second turnaround on WW has been retracked and more importantly, reprofiled. Instead of 2 twisted bunny hills it's more of a twisted double up/double down now. It gives actual ejector in the front row and good floater through the rest of the train. The last lap is still a bit rough. Hoping that section gets reprofiled next year!
As of June 2024 they have added additional Titan track beyond what is present in this POV and I was thoroughly impressed with this coaster. Great ride.
I went to MA (my home park) for their Season Passholder Preview event on Sunday! I saw that they added some more Titan Track work to Wildcat this year, most notably on what used to be the worst part of the ride. (Right after the first turnaround) The more I think about it, giving the rest of WW a full-on Titan Track treatment would be a more wise decision. (Since the park may not have enough money to have RMC overhaul the coaster yet)
Are you sure that's Titan track? You can really only see it on ride...but I'm pretty sure it's wood. It is very smooth though... That section reminds me of Mystic Timbers now!
@@thehawknelsonfreak Shivering Timbers got new track on the first valley and pullout. Basically half of the first camelback. No more pothole there... I had the best ride I've ever had on it over Memorial Weekend. Oh...and I ride it a lot...86 times last year. So i think that means its running pretty good!
With new Titan Track on one coaster and fresh paint on another, that's a lot more off season love than the park usually gets. Hopefully they can continue to upgrade and invest in the park.
it doesn't have potential. 3hrs from Detroit, Cedar Point is 2. The lineup is already in shambles. Why invest in a park that's already weak and in a horrible location.
@@CoasterHabitat WW wouldn't be the worst guinea pig for GCI to try adding Titan Track inversions. MA will have to close Corkscrew eventually, so adding a couple of barrel rolls to WW would be worthwhile. (If MA does get another coaster with inversions, it'd be a relo - maybe WoF's Boomerang). It's just a question of whether Cedar Fair is willing to pay for Infinity Flyer trains, but they might do it to enable a full conversion of Boss. (I-Box might not be cost-effective for it)
I think the curving airtime hills in the middle of the layout were the most rough so I'd to see them titan tracked first since the train has much more velocity there than the turnarounds. What would be interesting is when retracked they change the profile of the airtime hills or turnarounds to make them more exciting like RMC. They will most likely leave it like the original though.
@@CoasterHabitat I grew up riding Phoenix! We used to camp there every summer. At the time (before social media), I had no idea what a treat I was getting being able to ride it every summer. If you do get there, make sure you take some time to ride the bumper cars....they are the best I've ever been on haha.
Wolverine Wildcat was built because the owners of Michigan's Adventure loved Phoenix... they hired Dinn because he's the one that relocated Phoenix. Unfortunately, he was better at relocating woodies than he was at building them from scratch.
It would make for a great RMC opportunity since many wouldn't want to change Shivering Timbers classic layout. While I'm glad the park is investing in its coasters, Titan Track would be a better option for Shivering Timbers and Wildcat would make a great small scale RMC. Unfortunately there's not much hope for new stuff at Michigan's Adventure.
@@CoasterHabitat Yeah, sadly, it's one of the more or less abandoned Cedar Fair parks because there's no real competition. But that doesn't mean it deserves to be neglected.
I'm glad to see the Titan Track was install on this Coaster. Perhaps more of Titan Track will be installed on other parts of the Coaster during the off-season. Enough of Ruin My Coaster (RMC) destroying the Traditional Wooden Rollercoaster. Time to stop the murder of them.🎢💞💞💞
@@ellexking9136 Titan Track should be saved for decent wooden coasters with a few troublesome spots. Using it for rides like Wolverine Wildcat and Predator is akin to polishing a turd. Wooden coasters aren’t going anywhere, by the way. The only thing RMC is “destroying” are piles of garbage that would have been destined for a scrapyard anyway.
@@eccentricgamer4111 Well apparently Cedar Fair feel that with more installment of the Titan Track, and that probably will happen, they feel that The Wolverine Wildcat is worth saving. How you feel about it doesn't make you in titled, and it's not your decision. This is the problem with Coaster Enthusiasts. And BTW, once Ruin My Coaster turns a Traditional Wooden Rollercoaster into a Hybrid, it's classified as a Steel Rollercoaster. You'd know this if you did your homework 🤣
@@ellexking9136 I’m well aware that RMC’s conversions are steel coasters. Thing is, I only care if a coaster is good or not-whether it’s made of wood, steel, or a mixture of both is irrelevant to me. If making a good ride means having RMC come in to transform a garbage wooden coaster into something vastly superior, then so be it; I’d rather there be a few good wooden coasters in the world than a bunch of crappy ones giving the genre a bad reputation. Quality over quantity.

Yeah WW is amazing now, and yeah hopefully the rest gets retracked next year
I rode it on July 29th in the back row. It was very painful, though that first part with the titan track was smooth.
That drop on Titan Track, in the back row is 👌

That was awesome and looked like a fun ride. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
Thanks for subscribing, stay tuned for more great coasters :)

How much of shivering timbers was retracked? How was it?

@@carysage I rode it that Sunday too and it was the roughest ride I’ve ever had
@@thehawknelsonfreak Haha, you should have tried it last year...
I really wish Cedar Fair would show this park some love. It has so much potential but CF is blowing it.
With new Titan Track on one coaster and fresh paint on another, that's a lot more off season love than the park usually gets. Hopefully they can continue to upgrade and invest in the park.
@@CoasterHabitat Yeah.
My thoughts exactly. CF only cares about 4 parks unfortunately.
it doesn't have potential. 3hrs from Detroit, Cedar Point is 2. The lineup is already in shambles. Why invest in a park that's already weak and in a horrible location.
@@_stafford Why keep it running at all then?
This looks like a fun coaster, albeit should definitely titan track those turns.
Maybe they'll titan track the whole thing eventually. It would make it more of a "must ride" for enthusiasts and help out the park's reputation.

Good looks
When I rode it this past summer I thought that the turn arounds definitely needed the titan track. I guess we'll see what they do in the off season.
I think the curving airtime hills in the middle of the layout were the most rough so I'd to see them titan tracked first since the train has much more velocity there than the turnarounds. What would be interesting is when retracked they change the profile of the airtime hills or turnarounds to make them more exciting like RMC. They will most likely leave it like the original though.
it's kind of opposite, and turns a little in the middle, but its a very similar layout to the Phoenix at Kneobles.
Lol yep I was thinking the same thing when I watched this - gotta think maybe the Phoenix runs a bit smoother, but I'd love to try this for sure
I'm excited to experience the buzz bar airtime on Phoenix!

Nice POV
Thanks! 👍
Titan tracking this ride was long overdue. Though personally, I think it would be even better if it were RMCed.
It would make for a great RMC opportunity since many wouldn't want to change Shivering Timbers classic layout. While I'm glad the park is investing in its coasters, Titan Track would be a better option for Shivering Timbers and Wildcat would make a great small scale RMC.

Looks a lot like the Timberwolf at Worlds of Fun in KC, MO
I need to ride that!
So they smoothed part of it with Titan Track. Meh, I still think this should get the RMC treatment.
Imagine having two world class roller coasters right next to each other! Shivering Timbers and RMC Wolverine Wildcat would be astonishing!
