Much how people refer to Revolution at SFMM as the first true looping coaster

And yet, it still is not the first successful coaster with an inversion! That would be Corkscrew at Knotts Berry Farm built in 1975 (one year before Revolution), now Corkscrew at Silverwood in Idaho.

Funny how I expected everyone to understand my comment on SOB. Instead of disputing why not get the BIG idea?

I was only saying that although many people regard it as the first looping coaster, many don't know Corkscrew was the first successful coaster with an inversion.

Nemo, as we all know people like to correct you as much as possible on here, even if it is a minor detail.

Regardless, I've heard nothing but bad things about the ride.

When I got in line for the first time since the programing changed, there were people telling me and others to get out of line. Here's a few things I heard: "Turn around! It's not worth it!" "This is stupid!" "That tickled my stomach" "Stupid Cedar Fair!" "KNOCK IT DOWN!".. There was many more but I will stop. Anyone else in favor of replacing the claptrap with a eurofighter?!

"Turn around! It's not worth it!"

You must have seen me there.......

Son of Beast was not first looping wooden coaster because there were looping wooden coaster in early 1950's

Uh, there were wooden looping coasters long, long before then, including in Columbus and Louisville. Just yesterday, a post card of one in Columbus was posted here!

Bring on the crazy dark wild mouse!

I'm up for that one!!!

Keep the building remove the ride! That building is perfect for another ride.

Please no! I've been waiting so long for the day that eyesore is gone!

The crypt should be given its own crypt far away from Kings Island!

Dare-To-Fly always has a vacancy in his pit in Siberia.

ROFLMAO!!!

Am I the only person on here that thought when TR:TR operated in 2002 with all of the special effects working correctly and theming intact, it was unbelievably awesome?????

No. I LOVED TR:TR and for anyone that knows me, knows i HATE spinny rides... heck i can't even look at the swings, or even Delirium for that matter >.< But I absolutely loved TR for the theming and the fun of it. I rode it last year on closing day... hated it... was way too much for me, but could see the fun if someone liked it. But hey now that its a kiddy ride i may ride it! lol

Really? Wow, just wow. A new ride added to my "Please Remove" list:

haha. i always do. But i always get people on that ride and then i kick their butt.. I got jackson, derek, and zosobeast on last weekend.. And only zosobeast was complaining bc his "gun was broken"... 2 times in a row, i think not.

My friend owned me on that ride,for the past 2 years he has worked that ride and he got 4,500 I have no ideal how he did it. Thats not even his high score.

Holy crap! I always thought SOB was the only looping wooded coaster... ever. Also, some of those coasters are from the early 1900s, even 1895, not just the 1950s .

It was billed as the only looping wooden roller coaster on the planet...but never as the first....

Am I the only person on here that thought when TR:TR operated in 2002 with all of the special effects working correctly and theming intact, it was unbelievably awesome?????

I thought it was great as well! Sadly, I always had to put my glasses in the pouch in front of me, so I didn't get to see all the effects functioning.

anyone else think they need to update the crypts page on the official website? i mean it still has tomb raider theming in the picture they use, and it still says they have three rows and that it does 4 flips.... i wish!

The Crypt

The Crypt

As does KICentrals.

That sounds like a challenge to me... We need to have a showdown next time we see each other at the park!

I wonder what the ferris wheel in a box would feel like if you didn't hold on.. humm...

What if we could do a theme kind of like at CGA. Where it's fire vs. water. Maybe something a little different and original.

Eurofighter?!?!

Haha not exactly. I was think of Firefall. It's the name of the topspin @ CGA

^ Oh sorry, The "Eurofighter!?!?!" was refered to be a comment along the lines of, the crypt should go bye bye, and a eurofighter in its place. As I have stated many times in this thread.

I just checked Huss's web site and they are using an old onride photo for there giant top spin header. Thats funny

^ Whats the URL?

http://www.hussrides.com/index.php?option=...&Itemid=165

...Of extraordinary size and power...*

Hmmmm....

*from that header...

Yea, NOT.

I'm just waiting until that page is deleted.......

Has anyone been on it today? If so, has the program changed again?

it was closed today, or.. at least it was when i left around 2:30..
