Browntggrr Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 This wooden coaster is the world's longest in both time and length, thrilling riders for more than four minutes on a track that stretches 7,400 feet, Ruben says. It includes a 540-degree helix that twists through a partially covered tunnel. "You can hear the screams echoing through the forest." http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/10great/2010-07-22-roller-coasters_N.htm Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Paul Ruben. I must be quiet. I must be quiet. Mission accomplished. Whew! Quote
SOB_TOM Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Wasn't Paul Ruben one of Ocean's 11? You know, the one who bankrolled the idea? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Not that Paul Ruben...this Paul Ruben says every coaster he ever appears at a media day for is the best coaster in the history of Earth (in exchange for a monetary consideration). So much for me being quiet... Quote
Browntggrr Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 ^^ That would be Reuben Tishkoff played by Elliott Gould. Quote
Guest Millennium Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Wow, Intimidator is getting rave reviews. Hopefully I can make it east by next year to ride it and Afterburn. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Okay, I can't take it anymore. I'd no more trust a coaster review by Paul Ruben than I would a Wikipedia article. Less so, actually. The man has never met a coaster he didn't rave about. Ever. Quote
Dvo Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I agree. This guy is just terrible. And he's EVERYWHERE in amusement media. Simply awful. I'm kind of glad to see Viper at SFGAm get some notoriety, as I feel it is pretty underrated, but I am not glad that it came in this form. Quote
Browntggrr Posted July 23, 2010 Author Posted July 23, 2010 For a guy that is so "into" the industry, it was a real pee wee article... Quote
