The Interpreter Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 At Alton Towers, yesterday, after 29 seasons of faithful service: http://www.expressandstar.com/2008/11/10/f...ll-to-corksrew/ http://www.rcdb.com/id778.htm http://www.rcdb.com/ig778.htm This one had the bayerncurve, too....

RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The only Vekoma Corkscrew with Bayerncurve I have ridden was Screamer at Boblo Island. Lets just say my memory of the ride is a little fuzzy, they say the mind blocks out traumatic experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Oh, I've ridden that one, too. It ended up at Playland in British Columbia. It's not exactly a pleasant thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Did it? I wasn't sure what happend with the rides from Boblo once it closed. Reminded me somewhat of Camden Park, just not as nice. Although I think the best ride was the Ferry out of Detriot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yep, at Boblo it was Screamer. The other two coasters: Nightmare moved to Astroworld as Mayan Mindbender and is now being relocated to Wonderland in Texas as Hornet. Sky Streak moved to Selva Magica in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and was renamed Titan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sky Streak, was interesting if not strange. Very rare to ride something like that outside of Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
