thekidd33 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 ^They did...they just did it 12 years ago. While I agree that there are certainly rides that have long term marketing potential, (Beast is a great example) Invertigo isn't one of them, IMO. To each his own though right? -thekidd33...always a little frightened by those who enjoy Invertigo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fear the Four Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 ^Invertigo in the front/back seat has the strongest acceleration forces going through the entrances and exits of the inversions... Which is why I LOVE Invertigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I found The Beast a lot smoother this year too. I mean it's really smooth for a 32 year old woodie. In what universe? Sorry, but I found The Beast the worst it has EVER been this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 And YOU would know this HOW? You weren't even born when it opened, were you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magm&MForce24/7 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 From my experiences it's been the best this year than any other year since i first rode it in 2007. Maybe I like rougher wooden roller coasters than others and don't notice it, but i truly thought it was better especially in the major re- tracked area's. -MagmMForce247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki4evr Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Racer, bring back the backward train and original paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianBeatle Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Bring the airtime back to The Racer! I still almost want to cry every time I ride it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaterboy22101 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 As far as Flight of Fear - I'd love to see that ride returned to its original glory (minus the OTS restraints that gave your ears a nice beating...). The one thing that annoys me the most about that ride now is the "bring the train to a complete standstill" brake on the MCBR. I realize that they need to slow the train down some, but why is it necessary to slow it down that much? You haven't ridden it recently have you? The first 3 cars basically fly past the brakes, the brakes slow down the last 2 cars and tries to stop, but it doesn't stop the train anymore. At least that's how it was 2 weeks ago. Really helps the pacing, IMO. It may help the pacing, but just wait till they have to evac like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Ahem. Joker's Jinx. Poltergeist. NO midcourse brake. Operate just fine in Maryland and Texas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Ahem. Joker's Jinx. Poltergeist. NO midcourse brake. Operate just fine in Maryland and Texas... Right, but I don't think they would take out FOF's midcourse. It would completely destroy the chance/purpose of a 3rd train... which who knows, maybe it'll return one day? When you're riding, you can see it sitting under the corkscrew. I never saw it in there last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 And since they added the brake between the two stations, it can hold 5... haha. I think 3 is a good number. Any more than that, and there would be constant stacking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more than that, and there would be constant stacking... 5 ould be WAY to much. I mean it's hard enough with 2. Getting a train out every minute is hard.

Titan Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 In what universe? Sorry, but I found The Beast the worst it has EVER been this year. If you want rough, go take a spin on Predator at Darien Lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 All the people talking about bad smells... In my opinion, the ride that needs help the most in THAT area is not a coaster at all, but rather, Congo Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
