The BTMR Goat is Gone! :(

[xfkirsten]

Just got back from a day at DL, and while I'm to sleepy to type out an entire trip report tonight, I will point out that the goat on BTMR was missing from the ride entirely! I was trying to do the goat trick, and since it was missing, with threw me off. :lol:

What's the goat trick? Or do I want to know? :lookaroun :animwink:

The goat may be gone, but the baaaa-ing remains.

Ahh, the goat trick. Basically, you just stare at the goat the whole time, even making that turn around the hill the goat is standing on. Just have your eyes and head follow the goat and never take your eyes off the goat. It leads to a different experience of the ride :dazzle: .

From what I read on different boards it seems the goat has been gone for awhile. I wonder why...

Maybe for some repairs or perhaps replace the fur again. So, what's the goat trick like? I know you look at it as you go around, but what leads to a different experience?

Basically, it gives you a feeling of weightlessness.

The goat is being upgraded...Seems Matt didn't think it was quite realistic enough. He's not gone for good though...I'm surprised they didn't put a 50th anniversary banner where he used to be lol

Yeah, I figured it was just out for a refurb. As far as how it looks - it's always looked just fine to me! Maybe they should have left the goat and concentrated on trying to keep the whole ride running.

Hmm.... well that game does not sound as fun as superman. I want to be a CM just to try that game. I would probably get fired but it would be worth it. Or I could try the other game where a CM once got his butt clipped by the scenery.
