It was the 1st racing RC 3. IT was the 1st forward and backward racing RC and it started the second coaster golden age 2. It was one out of 3 of PKI’S 1st RC’S and its a legondary ride and its a sample RC and its an american themed RC and theres no other RC like it. 1. CONEY MALL AND THE REST OF PARAMOUNT’S KING’S ISLAND WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITH OUT The Racer and it is a John Allen and PTC RC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialk141 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 correct me if i'm wrong, but REBEL YELL at PKD does have an identical layout and very close dimensions... (within a few inches, feet or MPH) In my opinion, that makes Rebel Yell a clone, if not exact, it is stil very similar. and oh yeah, who said anything about The Racer being removed???

Yes thats the RC at PKD I was talking about, there almost the same, here is where The Racer is said to be leaving, http://www.pkicentral.com/forums/index.php...ct=ST&f=4&t=623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Well it actully not a clone if it has the same layout. Height drops and everything. However The Racers and the one at PKD is very close, so close the GP probaly wouldn't notice so I consider them the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCTfreak Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Racer: Rebel Yell: length: 3415' Length: 3868'6' speed: 61mph Speed: 56 mph angle of decent: 45 degrees Angle of decent: 50 degrees But you are looking at 2 john allen PTC'S built within 4 years of each other. exact clone? no. but not being 100% techinal here, its been cloned, i mean look at the amount of twin racing out and back coasters. Also The Racer was not the first twin racing coaster. The Racer at Kennywood, which is actully a racing coaster with one continuous track was built in '27 -rctfreak- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soviettraitor Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 It was great until the lap bar crushed you every time you it a crest over a hill or hit the bottom of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I've never been crushed by a lap bar on Racer, so I cannot relate. However, it was the first coaster I was ever afraid to ride. My mother used to bribe me with a dollar to ride it. But, I always loved it in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
