coaster_junky Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 ^they've modified/changed the trains twice, once they removed the last car of each of the old pct trains and then when they switched over to the gerstlauer trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Son of Beast never ran PTC's. It had Premier Rides trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausty1983 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I just hope something is solved and they can finally can decide what to do with SOB those trains currently do look so small for a roller coaster that size and the Premier trains terp were the problem with SOB before weren't they because of the weight of them or what?

The Interpreter Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The park has stated many times that the reason the Gerstlauers were installed is because they are much lighter in weight. The relative heaviness of the Premier Rides trains was certainly not a plus on this particular installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You can step on the actual track while boarding and exiting... I guess it's the part underneath that fits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimma937 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I been coming here all my life. And this past season (09) i seen SOB run like 4 days out of the whole year and it cost more to let it just sit there and rot away then to tear it down and put up something that will bring in more guests or they just need to restructure it and open it back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSoB Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I miss those old trains... not necessarily the ride the gave, but for the decals. I think it was one of the better train schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 They do look much nicer than the current ones. Couldn't CF have put decals on the new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It was nice because they actually gave the ride a story... If you look on the side of the train in the old picture it says PSV 1.5 (PSV 1 before they shortened them). The PSV stands for Perimeter Surveillance Vehicle. The story was riders boarded their own PSV to journey to outpost 5 (Adventure Express speil anyone??) to search for a mysterious creature that had escaped from a nearby holding crate. Once riders embark on their journey they realize the mysterous beast has captured them and takes them on the ride of their life. Using a quick edit and a picture taken by our very on ViolaKat you can see here the logo on the side of the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
