Browntggrr Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 ^ Quite honestly, I was more upset seeing KCKC getting torn down. That was a great family ride.
PKIVortex Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I also miss King Cobra, it was my first Stand-Up coaster. It was also one of my favorite Stand-ups.
gnarkiller Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 To bad it could of made a good roller coaster for another Theme Park.
BoddaH1994 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 To bad it could of made a good roller coaster for another Theme Park. Nah -- that's the problem with the industry. A park that could afford to purchase, construct, and maintain the King Cobra wouldn't want anything to do with it.
WooferBearATL Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 As both I and others have stated here before (and correctly), King Cobra was the first of its type in North America AND was composed of Japanese steel. You bring up an interesting point. If the steel used was substandard compared to US steel, why would they even try and sell the ride knowing it would not last? Everyone in the industry would have to know the same information as yourself, and others. If this is to be correct, Paramount had a serious integrity issue. Paramount not using sound judgement? Who would have thunk it!?!?!?!
The Interpreter Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Industry knowledge is not evenly distributed. There are many things that others know that I have not a clue of. And, I'd like to think, at least, there are many things that I know that at least a good portion of the industry hasn't a clue of. That's the way the world works. Information is not evenly distributed, and even it if were, it is not uniformly applied by those who have it...
TransAm78 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Do u think when we go on the tour behind SoB we will see the remains of King Cobra?
