Fear the Four Posted December 14, 2010 Share 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!

Dvo Posted December 15, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dvo Posted December 16, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted December 16, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted December 16, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
count_of_tuscany Posted December 16, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).
