rough coaster

I voted Son of Beast. too Rough. wacko.gif

WORST... POLL... EVER!!!

Who isn't gonna vote for SoB besides the people making joke votes?

This poll is a prime example of how bored we are in the winter.

Any bets on the over/ under for SoB?

I have to vote for The Racer. It is my LEAST favorite coaster at PKI. Not everyone thinks that SOB is a bad coaster. Some of us can ride SOB and not complain about it.

I was Just talking to my friend about Kings Island today and she was saying 4 more months till PKI opens for the 2006 season.

This is pointless. WTF is recar?

The park is open right now and Top Cat is also open. When I get some time I will post my Winterfest pictures and some HB pictueres what is left of HB Land.

hahaha youve worked at the park since 2002 and you dont know what recar is? silly nick roedl and his tomb raider delorian.

In the winter is when the best polls get started becuase we have nothing to talk about. I voted SOB because The Beast is rough but it is not too rough it is just rough enough where we like it. (No fun intended wink.gif )

I wish SOB was like Gemini with metal track unstead of all wood.

I never thought I'd hear the day someone would say they wish a ride was more like Gemini... At least you know it's a steel coaster, most morons say it's wood.

You guys need to quit being a bunch of babies. I find none of the rides are PKI to be rough. I know I hear my friends and such complain after riding SoB, but it doesn't bother me at all.

Actually the coasters are described by what supports them not what the rails are.

No, they are described by the track. Wood coasters use wooden track. Steel coasters use steel tubular track.

Hades - Wood

Voyage - Wood

Adventure Express - Steel

Gemini - Steel

Like if Voyage had supports made out of cheese, then it would still be a wooden roller coaster. So yeah, youre wrong.

It's how you ride the ride that makes it rough. Like the first time I rode The Beast, I had my head burried into the handle bar holding on as tight as I could.

stfu uncle henery SOB was a lil rough before, and for most of u wimpsitwas very rough, for me it was smooth and now in 2006 season it will be smoother than top gun

Well SOB gives the wife a headache, me, makes my teeth raddle and yes mine are real not dentures.

I think the roughest coaster is SOB. Not only am i 6' 6" and the knees can barely fit in the thing, but it has to be the worst one going through those two double helixes. The smoothest part of the thing is going up the hill. Its still a GREAT coaster let me tell you i love the ride, but when it comes to the roughest coaster, this one takes it hands down.

Someone is dreaming!

When it comes to being rough, SOB is without a doubt the champ, but it is one of my favorites, a visit to PKI is not complete without riding the king of all slobber-knockers at least once.

Im 6 "4" and I have learned to sit in the front of the cars believe it or not there is more leg room for guys like us. Like on Vortex the best seat for a guy over 6 feet is the very front of the first car, you can stretch your legs straight out. Other then that we will have to live with brused knees.
