So did anybody ride it today? If so, tell us how it was.

Look at the SOB status page that will answer your question

I rode it. Smoother but not as good as it should be.

Yes, it was smoother than what it had been. It is still not super smooth, but what do you expect from a woodie? I`d say that is now about as smooth as The Beast. Its to the point where I would ride it more than one time in a visit to PKI. Last year, I would only ride it once per visit becuase of how rough it was. Hopefully, after it breaks in, it will get a little smoother.

But does it knock ya around so much ya feel like you have whip lash?

No, I didn`t notice that today. That is why I normally only rode it once per visit last year. Granted, I did sit in a middle row of a car (4-2) so I don`t know how the ride was running if you sate on a wheel seat.

I did the very back row just after 8pm today. I took into account the over-wheel-seat vibrations, yet really enoyed the overall smooth experience. Maybe some amount of roughness is what makes a wood coaster great.

I didnt get my usual ball-crunching-staple on it, so it must be better.
