iChase Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 LOL, classic. It's foreign to me that people could be so uninformed. Yeah, I remember that commercial. Seems like Ford, not sure though.
DropZone99 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Posted June 22, 2007 Ive' seen tons of pictures of SOB's new trains and ive' ridden Hurricane, but what are the restraints on them???, i forget [i rode Hurricane in 2002].
The Interpreter Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 U bars that come up from the floor that are remarkably similar to the ones on Son of Beast's old trains, but without the large attachments at the top. See also the restraints on Twisted Twins at Kentucky Kingdom.
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 So there just like Adventure Express, Magnum, Gemini?
DropZone99 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Posted June 22, 2007 Im guessing they're going to be like Mindbender's at SFOG... And is that going to be all the restraints???, no seatbelts???? Ifso than that is awesome!!!
The Interpreter Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 The restraints are more substantial than Mindbender's (and have been since a rider of, I believe, The Boss, came back into the station some years back carrying part of the restraint with him!). And knowing Cedar Fair, there WILL also be seat belts. http://www.parkothek.info/photos/29/24.jpg This is to show the restraints, the train design obviously does not look like that on the exterior.
iChase Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Anyone know if these easily accept persons of exceptional size? (Insert awkward laugh) I can't fit into FoF anymore. If these are indeed similar to AE then I'm in luck.
The Interpreter Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I have NEVER seen a person of exceptional size turned away at Twisted Twins. Much depends on the length of seat belts installed by Cedar Fair (and I am assuming there WILL be seat belts...)
corn4ahead Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Those lapbars on MXL200 suck. They hurt against your thighs when you are in those bunny hills. I think SoB should have gotten Intamin wooded trains with the lapbars like MF. That would be nice!!!

I think SoB should have gotten Intamin wooded trains with the lapbars like MF. That would be nice!!! Man XL-200's hurt on the bunny hills. I wouldn't mind the MF lap bars but just use a far longer seatbelt. I can't ride it and TTD because of the seatbelt length.
The Interpreter Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 INTAMIN no longer uses the MF type lapbars. See Maverick and El Toro for the new styles. The seat belt length on MF is as a result of a manufacturer (INTAMIN) recommendation.

I think SoB should have gotten Intamin wooded trains with the lapbars like MF. That would be nice!!! I agree. That ride is really painful for me on the bunny hills at the end. My expression on the ORP was hilarious to see afterwards though.
jcold1 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Anyone know how many seats are in each car. (2 or 3) and how many car's per train
The Interpreter Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 You could try reading the entire thead, each train has six cars with two rows of seats each, thus seating 24 people. Say thank you. Terpy, being nice for some reason
jcold1 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 sorry, i just didnt want to go through 12 pages... lol and thanks!
Beast1979 Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Here's a Hint: Try 2 red and Blue PTC Cars with 6 cars each, each car with room for 4 people. Beast1979
The Interpreter Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 If you mean currently on the coaster, nope...they are Gerstlauer....the park was looking for lighter trains. . .
DiSab Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 I don't know how other people feel about this, but I think the trains should have been painted red and yellow, instead of blue. It's just looking too much like The Racer now. Plus, it would be using the original train colors from both SoB and Beast. To me, blue just doesn't seem like a SoB color at all...
Dvo Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 They should have... oh wait this thread should have ended in June. Way to resurrect a topic again. And for what? Here's a Hint: Try 2 red and Blue PTC Cars with 6 cars each, each car with room for 4 people.
The Interpreter Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 And wrong on several counts....not only are they NOT PTC, as mentioned, but it's two TRAINS, not cars... Sigh.
Beast1979 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 ^ Oh, Well, Sorry Mr. Perfect. You know not every enthusiest has to be a Nerd!
The Interpreter Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 And not every poster here is a coaster enthusiast, either; for that matter. --The Interpreter, who has been called far worse than a nerd! (and who certainly is far from perfect, as his friends, family and boss would no doubt testify!)
Monroe Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 ^ Oh, Well, Sorry Mr. Perfect. You know not every enthusiest has to be a Nerd! Are YOU calling ME a NERD? Well are you PUNK? I guess you like daisies, I hope you like the roots because that is all you will see of them when I am finished with you. Go ahead, MAKE MY DAY. Just for your info, the only nerds I know are not enthusiasts. Also the Interpreter does not claim to be perfect, he just claims that he interprets correctly all the time.
