But shouldn't CORNstalkers be CORNy? Terp, not trying to tassel you, but hoping you are all ears!

This x2. The Voyage, since 2007 has gotten terribly rough. So much so that I have to take a break in between each cycle, I can't ride it over and over again. I also never ride Voyage unless it's in the front row, anywhere else and it's not fun at all. \#1 wooden roller coaster? Give me a break. It's not even in my top 10.

^^ Moreso, some of the best Haunt experiences I've ever had have been on cold, wet nights. The fog will be extra thick, and the scareactors usually use that to their advantage. If the wind's a problem... well, we'll just freeze together, then!

But see King Cobra.

You're comparing apples to oranges...

They spent how ever many millions on SOB. And it's just sitting around.

Did you ever remember seeing the Roller Coaster and saying, "Roller Coaster 1 looks too intense for me"?

^I have a picture I took last year of Laynce Nix signing autographs at Great American Ballpark, it doesn't mean he's still with the Reds.

The Beast IS rough. So? It's a feature, in my opinion. A coaster, racing through the woods, in pursuit of (or being chased by) a mythical, bear/wolf/monster, untamed creature. Very well designed, so well designed, in fact, that it appears to follow the terrain yet still have the hills and turns necessary for an exciting ride. Great tunnels. This is one ride that almost themes itself. Just remember that the ride used to be faster and rougher, and the park has done an excellent job of maintaining it, so that well into its third decade, it is still going strong. They put a lot of offseason effort into replacing track and maintaining trains so that most of the roughness we feel is a result of the design, not deteriorating trains and support structures. The cars used to not have seat dividers, so you'd not only get slammed by the seat, but slammed into your ride partner, as well. The mag brakes in the shed bleed off a lot of the speed. I can't imagine taking the three right-hand turns leading into the second lift hill at the old full speed, and I can't believe I did it as a kid.
