  1. Isnt this type of ride and inverted boomerang coaster? if it is why are they having soo much trouble with them and not the boomerangs and what type of problems are they having with this particular ride? i have never ridden on but i went to SFMM and I refused to stand in line for this ride. The load times were over 10 mins. It cant be that the ride is hard to load, the operators were draggin their behinds.

  2. Yeah it was my favorite also especially after he slapped me in my face twice ACCIDENTALLY from holding his hands up in the air. Yes u all I got the (u know what slapped out of me twice) because this ride is sooo wild that when u hold ur hands up and the train changes directions, so do your hands. Excuse me if I sound like everyone else but we are just so damned excited that we have a REAL coaster here in Houston, I wasnt a big fan of Astroworld for the past 20 yrs.

  3. DITTO. My first ride was in the front and I was truly disappointed TOTALLY to the point I wanted to get a refund on my 20 dollar wrist band but texcoaster and GURU convinced me to give it another chance and ride in the back AND IT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE THERE. Still some of the roughness but not too extreme. This is the first retracked coaster I have ridden and I do see that it actually chances the ride noticebly. The ride in the front is butter smooth now. You can now ride it all day and not get bruised but that is the characteristic I love about a woodie is the roughness and that is what made THE BULLET unique to me. That first drop was the bomb. Now the second half of the ride is unchanged. It was never that rough anyway. So it is now a coaster for everyone to ride. Now the second half didn't speed up at all.

  4. Well I actually just really got into the forum thing earlier this year so I didn't know of anyones opinion of coasters until I joined here. So actually I haven't ridden anything after I read an opinion or heard of an opinion, but I see coasters on here that I have ridden in the past that people were giving bad reviews of and I disagreed.

     

    Flashback SFMM

    X SFMM

    GHOSTRIDER KNOTTS

    and a few others.

     

    Now I did remember one that I was excited about because of advertisement and publicity back when it was new and I jumped on a plane to go and ride was

     

     

    THE BEAST

     

    Nothing special about this ride. I like humps with airtime and I didn't get any on this coaster.

     

    Now I was excited because it was a terrain coaster but it did totally nothing for me.

  5. I just don't understand the roughness debate at all. I rode Texas Giant this summer and to ME, it isn't any rougher than when I first rode it the opening year. Every coaster that was wood has beat the crap out of me if I rode it over and over in one sitting. I have a sister that will not ride any woodie because it is too rough for her. Me, on the other hand, wont be thrilled if I am not slammed around a little. Steel coasters just don't do it for me. Nitro is about the only steelie I have ridden that made me smile with glee. X is another but I don't put X in any category with any ride in the US. I will have to go tomorrow and ride The Bullet because of this thread. I am a person who will ride it a few times and walk around and ride other stuff then come back and ride a few more times then take my arse home. Texcoaster will sit there all night and of course he is gonna get more beaten up than me or someone who isn't really a coaster junkie.

  6. I rode the Texas Cyclone back in the 70's 40 times one day and that was due to the no single riders policy also.

     

    I rode the Bullet 21 times in one night

     

    That doesnt sound like a lot but I do enjoy coasters but i tire of them easily if I stay on them too long. I am very much into the initial thrill but the more i ride the more that becomes diluted and i loose interest. That is why I havent been to the Bullet in a while. I will tire of it if I go anytime soon.

     

    I have been on a lot of coasters but I probably wont ride them more than 5 times n one visit.

  7. It HAS been worn out. Six Flags didnt have in the budget for a new invert so they just recycled. SFFT is full of carnival rides. I understand why it happened. When SF bought the park it had only a hand full of rides so what they did was add 3 and 4 rides a year that were mediocure to give the ride roster a boost. I fully understand why but it would have made more sense to bring Serial Thriller from Houston there instead of an identical clone that is 5 miles away. For the record, I HATE SERIAL THRILLER, but it would have given a variety to the area instead of a clone, but lets stop beating a dead horse it is a done deal.
