WesReviews Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Wow... looks like Six Flags has rebuilt King Cobra! Even a similar paint scheme. Take a look at this thing! Quote
teenageninja Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 This ride has almost no similarity to KC except for the drop into the loop. After that it's completely different. Also green and orange compared to green and yellow? Quote
WesReviews Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Well I didn't literally mean they rebuilt the exact same coaster. Just some cool visual similarities, I thought. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 That paint scheme looks awful, but it's not as painful on the eyes as the ride is on the riders. 2 Quote
kingsrattler Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I have to agree with Gordon, Stand-Up B&M's have to be one of the most painful riding experiences. The only time I ride them is when I visit a new park to see if this one might be the one that changes my mind on them.. Still haven't found it. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 ^From what I've heard, the one at SFOG is good and the one that CHANGed into Green Lantern at SFGADV apparently rides smooth. (Credit to Terpy for the pun). Wasn't there a rumor going around that these stand ups could be retro-fitted with floorless trains? Quote
jcgoble3 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 The only B&M stand-up (in fact, only stand-up period) I've ridden is Mantis, but I found nothing painful about it. In fact, I loved it; Mantis is currently my #4 steel coaster out of 24. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Quote
kingsrattler Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 ^Mantis gets a yearly obligatory ride, then I'm done with it. It's either reminding me that I am male, or crushing my calves from me keeping it from reminding me I'm male. Quote
bkroz Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Of the stand-up coasters I've been on, Iron Wolf was by far the worst. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Of the stand-up coasters I've been on, Iron Wolf was by far the worst. No need to make riding it sound like the apocalypse. Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I rode it on it's last day at SFGam, and I was happy to say good riddens to it. Quote
