Beast1979 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 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. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Funny how I expected everyone to understand my comment on SOB. Instead of disputing why not get the BIG idea? Quote
Beast1979 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 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. Quote
teenageninja Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 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. Quote
HTCO Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 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?! Quote
Beast1979 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 "Turn around! It's not worth it!" You must have seen me there....... Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Son of Beast was not first looping wooden coaster because there were looping wooden coaster in early 1950's Here the proof http://rcdb.com/id2512.htm http://rcdb.com/id2336.htm http://rcdb.com/id2626.htm http://rcdb.com/id1780.htm 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! http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=298288 Quote
StalkerChick Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 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 Quote

Skywriter Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 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. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Son of Beast was not first looping wooden coaster because there were looping wooden coaster in early 1950's Here the proof http://rcdb.com/id2512.htm http://rcdb.com/id2336.htm http://rcdb.com/id2626.htm http://rcdb.com/id1780.htm 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 . Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 It was billed as the only looping wooden roller coaster on the planet...but never as the first.... Quote
Rollercoast19 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 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. Quote
jondrewfoo Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 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 Quote

XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 But i always get people on that ride and then i kick their butt.. That sounds like a challenge to me... We need to have a showdown next time we see each other at the park! Quote
HTCO Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I wonder what the ferris wheel in a box would feel like if you didn't hold on.. humm... Quote
ZukoGirl Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 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. Quote
HTCO Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 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. Sounds like avatar to me... I think your just missing air and land? Am I correct?? Eurofighter?!?! Quote

HTCO Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 ^ 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. Quote
Beast79 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I just checked Huss's web site and they are using an old onride photo for there giant top spin header. Thats funny Quote
