Fear the Four Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Meant to drop its riders vertically, it will soon after follow up that adrenaline rush by turning them face down as they skim a mere 2 feet above the ground. What you see here is the first fully vertical wooden roller coaster track known as the Reverse Cowgirl, where it was designed by Mike Nawrot and Romain Teil. Fret not about safety, since you will have your backs strapped to the cart, although it won't hurt to increase that insurance premium of yours whether you are extremely paranoid and want to remain on the safe side of things. http://techgeer.com/...-coaster-track/ Fail coaster!

RailRider Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 You stay classy backyard coaster designers. Questionable choice of names... Quote
LordSkippy Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Reminds me of an early Intamin Freefall. Quote
Dvo Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 ^Agreed. But with less "ka-CHUNKs" and slamming around. Of course we can't see the other end of the track... Quote

I'm sure any insurance company will be more than happy to increase your premium, especially if they don't have to increase your coverage limits. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 You stay classy backyard coaster designers. Questionable choice of names... Very questionable. There's no escaping the double entendre here. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Got to give it one thing. "It looks cool! Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 ...so does a guillotine, but I don't want to ride one of those either... Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 I have seen alot worse home build coaxzsters at least this one looks halfway professionaly done. Quote
HTCO Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Looks safer than SOB... HTCO, will be here all night. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 SOB really looks like a swift wind could knock it over. Quote
Dvo Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Seriously? With all that lumber? SoB is a massive structure. The newer steel models, however... now THOSE look crazy to me. See: Behemoth @ CW. Or even Diamondback. Quote
rotag Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Got to give it one thing. "It looks cool! yes it does... ...so does a guillotine, but I don't want to ride one of those either... ...& you sir just made me fall out of my chair with non-stop laughter for 5min. Quote
Jasper Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 That looks like a death machine on wheels. Not to say I might not try it out, but it looks like you would be cruisin' for a bruisin' on that thing. Quote

See: Behemoth @ CW. Or even Diamondback. IDK to me sob seems fragile. On the dip right before the big drop ever see it flex? I can see it from the parking lot. I know its supposed to do it but it just makes it seem fragile to me. Quote
coaster_junky Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 ^if you worry about Son of Beast when it flexes, just wait until you see wicked twister flex. well that's more like swaying. Quote
count_of_tuscany Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 I'm wondering if the bull horns are on the cart so they can impale you when you get the bottom?! Quote

The Interpreter Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 [...I'm guessing you haven't seen Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta. That sway is nothing compared to Son of Beast's.... One should watch the helix on Shivering Timbers....one of the most remarkable features on that otherwise mediocre ride (in my opinion, but not in the opinion of many others). Quote
HTCO Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Looks smoother than SOB... HTCO, is truly done this time Quote
