First fully vertical wooden roller coaster!

Featured Replies

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.

Fail coaster!

You stay classy backyard coaster designers.

Questionable choice of names...

^Agreed. But with less "ka-CHUNKs" and slamming around. Of course we can't see the other end of the track... ;)

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.

Very questionable. There's no escaping the double entendre here. :mellow:

Looks safer than SOB...

HTCO, will be here all night.

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.

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.

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.

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.

^if you worry about Son of Beast when it flexes, just wait until you see wicked twister flex.

well that's more like swaying. :P

I'm guessing you haven't seen Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta. That sway is nothing compared to Son of Beast's.

You may have noticed that I mentioned nothing of actually ridding it Terp, just that is looked cool! laugh.gif

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).

Looks smoother than SOB...

HTCO, is truly done this time
