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.I have way too many questions about a wood inverter. First, how would the track be laid upside down? It's not like steel rails at all. Next, how would you make inverted cars for said track? Maybe if I was on something it would make sense.Anyway, my choice(s) would be to bring back a lot of the classic flats like a Tilt-A-Whirl, Rotor.
The Jump 2 looks interesting. I'm not really sure what is left that is non-coaster that would fit in Nick Central. I'd also like to see a ride like Skyhawk at Cedar Point.

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.
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.

that is what i thought but i wasn't going to say any thing about it unless i knew for sure

If you don't like SOB keep it to your self, some people find SOB as a great ride.
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)
-
SOB is pretty smooth in the front, and that's the only place I sit.
third row of the red train on the left side is smooth to

A dive coaster is a B&M coaster that is either 8 or 10 accross that goes vertical.
actually you did
-
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
-
Thank you for the tips but I know all of that stuff. Every time i go up beast or raceer, or even Vortex i look around for area's possable and I will state this again. Rivertown is geting a Dive COaster!!
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

I new that i could have three trains but it only said it could have 2
it opened with three trains but only ran with two on the track at a time so they took the third one off
-
And some day, the owner of the park may want to buy another train and install it.
sounds good to me
-
what is the point of having a transfer track if there are only two trains and a dual loading and unloading station?
-
so why was there themeing out back of the ride?
-
On 8-1 and 8-2 it was down, and if you ride The Beast you can see that behind TRTR there is some theming of TRTR tooken out.
so are they re-themeing the ride or what?
-
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)
-
Are there any suspended LIM coasters?
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
-
i was at the park yesterday and bought the on ride video and it was only $10's a video
-
The storage track is still there. Right between the station and the lift hill. Because they only have two trains, it is unlikely that a train would be parked on the storage track, as they can just park the train that is having issues in the station. Also, because of the fact that the lift hill is located away from the main line and midway, the storage track is not readily visible.
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?
-
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
-
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
-
did i just miss read or was there supposed to be a behind the scene tour of Son of Beast?
-
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
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

I would have to say that ANY launch coaster is a powered coaster... so should they 'not' be included? But I coundted 14! -Hauntguy
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
