DropZone99 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Why in the world would you want an S&S woodie? CCI who is now S&S are not what they used to be... So Thunderhead, Lightning Racer, Kentucky Rumbler, Evel Knievel, and Renegade to just name a few are considered ordinary? I agree that Gravity Group has built some great rides, but I would not complain if CP went either way. I think S&S Woodies look pretty neat, another coaster id' like to see go to CP is something somewhat like this- http://rcdb.com/ig4065.htm I wouldn't be disapointed if CP got a GCI, im just saying i don't see them getting one unless it's alot more unique than the others. Renegade for example isn't like most other GCI's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Would I be dissapointed if CP got a GCII? Ask me on Sunday, after I've ridden 2 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Why would I want an S & S woodie? Perhaps because the two I have ridden are among my very favorite woods? http://www.rcdb.com/ig2588.htm?picture=24 (By FAR the best wood in the Dells, in my not so humble opinion). And: http://www.rcdb.com/ig2586.htm?picture=15 ' When it opened, the most intense wooden coaster on the East Coast, and by far. Either is miles better than any Gravity Group coaster I have ever ridden. As for GCII, the best I have ridden by far was/is located in a park now closed for good. Sigh.

The Interpreter Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 GCII....not CCI: http://www.rcdb.com/ig1888.htm?picture=2 By far the best GCII I have ridden. I hope it gets relocated. I much prefer it to Thunderhead at Dollywood, the second best GCII I have ridden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ^ Thats right I forgot you are not a Lightning Racer fan. Still one of my favorite woodies. I think thats what makes coasters so great. No 2 people have the same tastes or the same favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ^^You mean, "And the winner is...Lightning!!" Btw, seeing and smelling the Wendy's from the LR lift when you're hungry is NOT a good thing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigellinus Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ^^I mean, it doesn't knock my socks off, BUT...considering on all 4 of my lifetime HP trips this summer and last (during fairly crowded days) LR was near a walk on, has MF's (which I love), is super smooth (especially Lightning), and is really fun and enjoyable and in my mind how a true "racing" coaster should be, yes, I am a huge fan!! However, if I want my wood thrills, I go to Voyage or Toro, but if I want to smile and laugh, Lightning Racer it is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
