This one had the bayerncurve, too....

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.

Oh, I've ridden that one, too. It ended up at Playland in British Columbia. It's not exactly a pleasant thing.

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...

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....

Sky Streak, was interesting if not strange. Very rare to ride something like that outside of Japan.
