Vekoma Roller Coasters
THE ONE replied to kingdakacor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ But you have to understand that they replaced the hole lower end of the train not just the restraints. Nothing on a roller coaster comes cheap. I know the wheels alone are pretty expensive. -

^ Sad but true. It will be missed, but the cost of relocating the coaster really is not worth it. -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

Chang only had 2 trains to start with, the ride could accommodate 3 train operation. When the park purchased Chang it had 2 trains, Chang never had 3 trains. -

It looks weird to see the old Voyage trains on another coaster. I wonder why they put the high back rests back on the new trains, looks weird. -

Whatever happened to Megazeph and Twisted Twins Gerstlauer Trains??? I hope they don't plan on putting those old style ones back on!! The new Gerstlauer trains on Mammut were okay, but I can't imagine them on a coaster as big as Texas Giant. The Megazeph trains went to SFSTL in the 07-08 off season and Twisted Twins trains arrived sometime in May or June of 09. All the trains were scraped for spare parts for the Boss. I was really hoping that SFSTL would put different trains on this ride because it would be so much better than the Gerstlauer Trains. I'm not sure how true this is but i heard the Boss tested with the Screaming Eagle trains because the Grestlauer Trains had not arrived yet, and ran for Them for Media Day.

How did you end up here???
THE ONE replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think it was ether Joyrides or sixflagsnews.com where I found Robb's Guess the Neon. So I would say it was early 00's when I first came here, I browsed the forums for a while before I joined in late 2005, then I forgot my password and decided to rejoined under a new screen name in 2006. Does anyone remember Six Flags news.com -

My Trip to the Midwest's Best...and Worst
THE ONE replied to CreditCrazy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I noticed the vibration in Diamondback @ the bottom of the hills to. It has as much Vibration as Ragging Bull, and it is 10 years old. That makes me wonder. I do think Diamondback is better than Raging Bull, the only thing RB has on Diamondback is the first drop, sit in the last 2 rows and your a$$ get ripped out of the seat., other wise Diamond back is better in every way. I like the trains better the airtime is the first car over the camel backs is amazing, especially in the aft seats. I still do like Raging Bull though. -
When the Legend opened in 2000 it had a single Gerstlauer train that was replaced by two PTC trains in 2002. We went to SFSTL this April and personally I don't think that the Boss was any smother than it was on our visit is 2006. I think SFSTL needs to get rid of the Gerstlauer trains, it would be a much better ride without those trains. (THEY SUCK)
