Beastly Terror Rider Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hey, all you guys out there! What's going on with PKI and its coasters? I want to hear from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Well, we have some good ones, and some day, we'll get another one. The last ten years have brought the world's first LIM-launched coaster, Flight of Fear; one of the world's tallest inverts, Face/Off (hey, if you don't believe me, chech RCDB, it's like 6 or 7 on the records); the world's biggest, baddest junior invert, Rugrats Runaway Reptar; and not to forget that other coaster they call Son of Beast...something about it being the world's tallest, fastest, only looping and second longest wooden coaster. That's it. What's in store for the future? Nobody knows...yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I think he was asking if there were any upgrades of some sort for this year. The only one I know is some stuff to do with Beast for it's 25th. We'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbari Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 They are redoing the rosebowl to make it smother, on SOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoObKiNoS Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 They are redoing the rosebowl to make it smother, on SOB. You dont know that. I require evidence to support such ridiculous claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanner Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Ok, we can't all go believing what people say and we need to learn that. If we all believed what other people said this world would be very bad and as many questions as you ask about the park Drewbari, I'd get more sources before believing anything.

Aaron Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I think Boob was most likely being sarcastic in his above comment, since that's usually how he is. Jeffrey Siebert mentioned at the Boomerang Bay construction tour that they were in fact redoing the rosebowl on SOB to make it less of a, well... SOB.

Browntggrr Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 They are redoing the rosebowl to make it smother, on SOB. You dont know that. I require evidence to support such ridiculous claims. Perhaps she was referring to the unknown fact of it being "smoother" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shman Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Now I know many people on this board do not believe when people say they have "inside" info, but you should believe me because I have been inside the park and I have seen with my eyes that the Rosebowl of SOB has been extensively worked on during this off-season. The bowl has been re-track and much of the structure surrounding the bowl has been worked on or replaced, all in hopes of smoothing out the circle and the transition in and out.

Beastfreak Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I'll be the second pair of eyes to have seen that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 If the work on it makes it as smooth as the first turn after the first drop on The Beast, then the rosebowl could end up being tolerable and maybe, enjoyable. Hopefully, the money the park is sinking into fixing the rosebowl will make it smooth and allow the park next offseason to work on other parts of the ride. Hopefully, the ride is on its way to becoming a smooth, enjoyable ride. As I remember reading a wooden coaster designer saying that a wooden coaster is always under construction. With Son of Beast, I`m sure that will be true. I just hope that they get it to be more tolerable and re-rideable than what it currently was last year.
