  1. Actually all of the superman ultimate flights have that inversion.
  2. you cant put anything but metal wheels on a wood coaster. BTW i'd like to have that jerry smily right about now.
  3. For the record, a cobra roll and a boomerang are totally different. Yes they are both two half loops and two halves of a corkscrew but the experience is totally different. Vortex has a Boomerang, fof and faceoff have cobra rolls.
  4. I agree, fof gets more acceleration at the beginning of the launch, IJ gets more at the end of the launch.
  5. Because its WRONG! Have you seen any footers, any track. Clearly the area its going is still a bit occupied. I see no Avatar. I agree, Counting chickens a bit early. Though we can all wish we had 15 coasters.
  6. Those trains do more harm than good, you can feel that same bumpiness when the trains leave the station on The Beast and when they run through the brake shed, just be glad those Premeir trains are holding you in so tightly. No they cant use FOF's trains as those are for a smaller gauge of track, once again the problem with SOB is the track not the trains, if the track was fine and the trains were the big problem something wouldve been done and thousands of dollars spent on re-tracking wouldnt have had to be done. Think about it. What are you guys talking about, Its that we're trying to make a normal wood coaster go 80mph. If you tried to make the first hill on any of our other wood coasters 218 and have the coaster go 80 it would be just as bad. And what do people mean by suspension. There are no shocks, no struts, no rubber tires on these trains or any other trains. BTW heads up, fof runs on tubular steel rails with nylon/polyurethane wheels. Oh and cobra didnt have problems, it was just old and togo was no longer in business. Plus they needed to spice up AZ some so they took it out. I never had a ride on Cobra that I didnt absoultely love. RIP Cobra, Maybe I'll find love in Skyrider because everyone knows that we're not gonna finde it in Shockwave.
  7. You do realize that if you're looking at rcdb.com they count king cobra to still be here just in storage. Personally I dont count that. We only have 13 right now.
  8. The first time I ever road The Beast, the line was back to the potted plant and my dad and I waited for it. It was 56min for my first time on The Beast in 1995.
  9. Calm down, please, everybody just calm down. Deep breaths, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Ok now back to SOB. And by the way, I love Americana!!!
  10. dude i always thought that the fyling eagles would go great where flight commander was because since its elevated and there arent any trees, you could really get some good wind there to help push the eagles
  11. i didnt even know that pkiguide.com was a fourm like site, i thought it was just info about the park, same with guidetotheisland.com. guess i never got involved back then
  12. "in case you missed the fun and safety guidelines up front, the Son of Beast is a high speed, forceful, turbulant roller coaster ride with quick turns and sudden drops. People with existing, or prior, back neck or bone problems, recent surgery or illness, pregnancy, high blood pressure, heart condition or any other condition should refrain from riding, the Son of Beast. if you have any questions, please ask a ride attendent"
  13. Im not even gonna get started on the nasty gross family planning (or preventing) tools we find under the catwalk at tr.
  14. Ok now lets talk about cleanliness at say, oh, i dont know, kentucky kingdom?? On that note, Kings Island is goregous.
  15. I remember those adds, every time you went to the site the first thing was a little box that said CONGRATULATIONS!!! and had ballons and streamers. Those adds were everywhere.
  16. but the Son of Beast has fireproof wood lol
  17. Why? It would still have the problems that it has right now. The design of the entire ride is what makes it rough. What do you mean the design of the entire ride, have you looked at colossos. Lots of same types of elements as SOB. Plus its just barely shorter and goes 75 mph and its supposed to be amazing. Personally i think that is just about the only option ki has left with sob. And it CERTANLY couldnt hurt it.
  18. yea well if you start this year you will have a lot more say in where you go next year because you will be a returner. Otherwise, they can still put you where they want you
  19. I remember that, yea there were some really cool photos that i havent been able to find since. Is he the same one who did guidetothepoint.com.
  20. I actually do recall a lot of fighting on that sight
