Creed Bratton Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It may have been built 6 years ago, but it's constantly going through changes and some (not a whole lot) of testing.Which will open first? Flying Turns, Kentucky Kingdom, or Voyage with Timberliners? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Biggest bust of all time? and has been built for six years..... If you want to talk about that we should take a trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg....I can show you a space that was once occupied by a roller coaster for 6 years... It was called Drachen Fire... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drachen fire is considered a success vs flying turns cause it actually opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 But can Drachen Fire really be considered a success given its short lived life at Busch Gardens Williamsburg? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Biggest bust of all time? On a KI fan site? Has FT reached $50+ million yet & been dismantled? Then & only then it can be discussed. Until then, only one ride easily has the identity of "biggest bust". 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sexy Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 SOB was the park's signature ride for at least 5 years and had the longest lines. Everyone raved about it but when intamin & b&m hypers became relevent it made people hate a hyper woodie even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Popularity is not proven through long lines. True "signature" rides last much longer than 5 years aside from the fact SoB's last rides were in 2009 after initially opening in 2000. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sexy Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Tough to troll for a sob topic when I never brought it up. I started topic cause I remembered it being built and read online it still wasn't open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Not for the first time.... Are you talking this season or in it's life? Either way, at least their is life in it. I mean, we could possibly see that Flying Turns opens before the Voyage gets Timberliners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I mean ever. I hope this works. I always wanted to ride an authentic Bartlett version. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoaster Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 good to see its open, and a classic is reborn. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I have to ask.... is there something that made the original versions of this coaster a ton better than this version? I am happy its open for the reason westcoaster stated above.... a classic is reborn... but I genuinely do not see myself riding this unless its a walk-on. I am not one of those who "must have coaster credits" like Im going to get some prize for them at the end of my natural Life, so I see this as being nothing more than a nice structure to take photos of when I make it to Knoebels.

The Interpreter Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I won't judge until I ride it. Many fantastic rides don't look like much...Traver rocket ships come immediately to mind. I'm still a wee bit under the weather or I'd have headed up there today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
