PhantomTheater Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Metal Rot to be exact, it was rusting from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcfreak339 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Simply put, Kings Island's King Cobra was not as well taken care of as that of Skyrider (Although Canada isn't in North America ) and Shockwave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (Although Canada isn't in North America ) But it is, or are you kidding? It's so hard to tell what people are saying and how they are saying it online.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcfreak339 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Dang it. Failed, Brain fart. So no, I wasn't kidding But then noticed I was stupid for saying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Dang it. Failed, Brain fart. So no, I wasn't kidding But then noticed I was stupid for saying that. It's alright...there's many people in my school I had arguments with about Hawaii not being in North America...it is...it's a part of the U.S.! ...so off topic. Sorry.

Coney Islander Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 But Hawaii is not part of North America. Hawaii is in Oceania... ... And it is very off topic. I myself recall hearing certain mention of "Inferior Japanese Steel." As a matter of fact, here's a good mention of King Cobra right here: As has been stated before, the inferior Japanese steel used in the prototype King Cobra was the primary reason for its removal. SkyRider and Shockwave remain....if it were just parts, neither would still be running...yes, the trains for Kings Island's ride were scavenged, but that is to be expected.

KIfan1980 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 But Hawaii is not part of North America. Hawaii is in Oceania... ... And it is very off topic. Staying off topic for a second. The site referenced below has an interesting assessment of Hawaii (and I'm sure many sites say many different things) "Hawaii is approximately 2,550 miles southwest of Los Angeles, in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. Politically it is part of North America, but geographically it is not part of any continent." http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/contnent.htm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Islander Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Politically, Hawaii is part of The United States of America. Geographically, Hawaii is part of Oceania, not a continent, but an expansive archipelago. North America as a whole has no centralized government, so it cannot reasonably be considered in that political aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
