Cpt Crunch Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This type of coaster seems very challenging to work with. I am not surprised with all the obstacles that Knoebels encountered while constructing it. I wouldn't ride it anyways. The thought of having no track is outrageous.

Cpt Crunch Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 ^Say that to DISpatch mASTER TRANSPORT or to Avalanche at KD. Hm. How long did it take to build these two rides? If not long, then Knoebels has one big problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Knoebel's is trying to use an old style of the trackless ride compared to the previously mentioned which were built using modern technology (in which sand was not taken in to consideration.) Terpy, this whole series of articles is an interesting read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think this one would be more fun to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think this one would be more fun to ride. I would love this ride. I was told there was something akin to this in Ober Gatlinberg, called the Alpine slide, but I'm much prefer this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpine slide at Ober Gatlinberg does not have a lift hill and you can control your speed and breaking. I hope the flying turns turns out like the Screamin' Delta Demon that was a fun ride.

RailRider Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yes the Delta Demon was a very fun ride. I hope someday they get the Turns up and going and some think SoB is nightmare of a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
