Thats because they put new wheels on Thursday night. It sounds amazing.
-
Firehawk has to have the train in the station in the station before another can leave. Thats because of block reasons. And i have been told by some ride-ops who work there that it is not an easy ride to run at all. Then how did I get this photo? I bet he is speechless ...Wow, I am so wrong.

How often do Evacs happen on rollercoasters?
skaterboy22101 replied to jondrewfoo's topic in Kings Island
I know as of last night, they had it back up. When I was on DB at about 10:30, they were sending the trains through test runs. It actually is not that bad. SoB is the only coaster i have ever had to be evucated from. I can't remember if it was early last year, or late 2007, but it was pretty darn cool. -
Haha, I ment fastest. And, it won't be the tallest. My bad.
-
Ring Racer. I mean it is the tallest and fatrest roller coaster in the world.
-
Well, delete me?
-
I'm just going to leave it at that....
-
Why not? Well because....I SAID SO. Bahahahaha
-
Even when that woodie wins hands down....
-
Actually, if you think about it, KI does get new things every year..
-
Ok. those maps are from a while ago. One map shows SoB still with the loop, and another shows GWL under construction. So those maps are 4 or 5 years old. KC's track has been scraped since 2006, or 2007. No, SoB can not run with 3 trains.

No. Trail of Terror is the one with the hillbillies, and I also don't remember crawling..

Thank you CedarPointer. So yet AGAIN, Kings Dominion's DT is NOT a gyro drop.
-
And I consider Avatar to be a roller coaster. Plus, Kings Dominion's DT NEVER spun.
-
It says it right there. So once again, Kings Dominion DT is NOT a gyro drop.

Theirs drops a longer distance. Our brakes stop the ride earlier than their ride. He is right. Our Drop Tower drops us 264 feet. Also, that is the tallest non-gyro drop ride in North America. Our Drop Tower is the tallest gyro drop ride in the world. What is the difference between a gyro drop and a non-gyro drop? The car on a gyro drop spins around while it is ascending. Notice how our Drop Tower makes one full 360 degree revolution on its way to the top. Intamin, considers Kings Dominion's Drop Tower a Gyro Drop. Well, then Intiman is wrong. Kings Dominion Drop Tower does not spin. It shows it very clearly that is does NOT spin. I does not have to spin to be considered a gyro drop. And Intamin considers it a gyro drop. I dont think they are wrong. No, it does have to spin to be a gyro drop. http://www.ridetrade.com/rti/index.php?opt...7&Itemid=37 Read it. Also, if Kings Dominion DT was a gyro drop, then it would be the tallest gyro drop in the world. Last time I checked, it wasn't. So, Kings Dominion DT is NOT a gyro drop.

7/20 anyone in the park today? is DB not running?
skaterboy22101 replied to zas's topic in Kings Island
A wheel change would require the train to be in the train shed. I'd figure it's just technical diffaculties. -
Is Son Of Beast Your Favorite Coaster?
skaterboy22101 replied to DrunkyMonkey's topic in Kings Island
Good to hear I'm not the only one getting sick of the same people constantly crying about the pain in every SOB thread. I think it funny these people claim they hate the ride, but yet they spend their whole lives talking about how much they hate it. At least you don't hear SOB fans crying to take out their least fav rides, as much as the SOB haters do You complained yesterday on a previous thread how people had no respect for your opinion. That is like calling the kettle black when I see these kinds of personal attacks. If you like SOB, fine, others don't like it. We have the right to express our opinion too. But you don't have to keep saying it over and over and over and over.... Why not? We have as much right to express our opinion over and over as you SOB lovers. Your right, but you don't see us SoB lovers going around EVERY 5 minutes saying "I love SoB". Once is enough. -
