  1. i have a maxx pass and i have only got to use it seven times this year(five times to ki and twice to cp) (it would have been more but i can't drive yet legally that is )
  2. . . all that you'd have to do is make the post holding the rail extended to the supports and it wouldn't be too hard to get cars just think of the seats the same (not upside down) but the wheels are on the opposite side and put the metal rail on the wood in between the wood... . . but if you think i'm on something.....uhh i got nothing cuz im not on anything. You forgot one thing... its wood! Remember what happened the last time someone tried to make a wooden coaster go upside down? Wood is not made to work againse gravity. Steel is different, you can weld steel, wood, all you've got is bolts, screws, and nails. The supports on the loop of SOB had to be made out of steel because wood would not support it. How could you possibly build a wood structure strong enough to hold trains upside down. A support that looks like this |"' made out of steel is a lot different than one made out of steel. Steel could hold a train, wood could barely hold itself. did i dream this or did Son of Beast get stuck up-side down in its loop? and if i wasn't dreaming then wood is stronger than you believe it is because its track that it ran on in the loop was made of wood not steel and it held a train up more than once if i remember right.
  3. that is what i thought but i wasn't going to say any thing about it unless i knew for sure

  6. Well if you want to take that avenue, and since most of the population of the planet Earth dislikes SoB... If you like SoB keep it to yourself, most people find SoB as a terrible ride. Have you not rode it since it was re-done? because it is alot better then it was!!!(In smoothness that is)
  7. third row of the red train on the left side is smooth to
  8. you all are telling about the smooth seats on Son of Beast but does any one know what the smoothest seat on mean streak is? just a question
  9. Thes is kind of a stupid question but what is a dive coaster??????????????????????????????????????????????? There is no need for that many question marks, even just one, yes one, would have shown that you were asking a question. A dive coaster is a B&M coaster that is either 8 or 10 accross that goes vertical. They are very larg coasters. Most notable coasters are Sheikra at Busch Gardens Africa, Griffon at Busch Gardens Europe and Oblivion at Alton Towers. Example: But Oblivion doesn't go vertical
  10. it opened with three trains but only ran with two on the track at a time so they took the third one off
  11. sounds good to me
  12. what is the point of having a transfer track if there are only two trains and a dual loading and unloading station?
  13. so why was there themeing out back of the ride?
  14. so are they re-themeing the ride or what?
  15. i was just wondering how long has tomb raider been down why is it down and how much longer will it be down all i know is it has been down since at least sunday(8-5-07)
  16. coaster_junky replied to thomas's topic in Rumors
    wicked twister at Cedar Point and i think it would be great but would they be able to use the top gun theme or i guess they could just keep a fighter jet theme and drop the top gun name
  17. i was at the park yesterday and bought the on ride video and it was only $10's a video
  18. so why do they even have the transfer track doesn't that defeat the purpose of having one? and why don't they get the third train back?
  19. coaster_junky replied to welchce's topic in Kings Island
    The Beast is a great ride but i would love it if they would take the trim breaks off the bunny hop after the first drop and not slow you down as much in the covered break run
  20. am i the only one that noticed that when Firehawk opened as x-flight it had three trains and a transfer track as soon as you came out of the station and what happend to them durring the move because the third train could be used if one train starts messing up you could just switch out trains
  21. did i just miss read or was there supposed to be a behind the scene tour of Son of Beast?
  22. sorry i read your post wrong and i would count it again because it is a different ride and if you rode The Racersbefore'96 then you might wan't to count it again because they removed bunny hopps on each one
  23. they made it a new ride doing that and if because they altered the track there would be 4 racers insted of 2 so no
  24. but i thought that The Racers were counted as one coaster just as twisted sisters at sfkk are considered one, and gemini at Cedar Point are considered one
