SOB New Trains from Myrtle Beach
CoasterFanatic replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned this little nugget of info ... The Premier trains that were on SOB since opening have dampening shocks on all four wheels. Has anyone even begun to imagine what this ride will feel like without them? Another biggie is the Premier Trains hold 30 (Used to be 36) people per train while the G-trains 24. With only two trains on the track, the capacity will be affected. Good thing that nobody will want to ride it. I counted 20 moments of airtime on the first hill the last time I rode it .... wait ... that was jackhammering. Sorry. -
I'm game. May the best man win. And by "best man" I mean me of course.

Kill me now. Seriously. I have not only heard that they are going on SOB, but the ENTIRE track will be modified to accomodate them. Don't shoot the messenger, this is just what I have heard. -

Ouch! I wouldn't even ride that out of curiosity. After the G-Trains are put on ... I give it a year. -
Wear a bra two sizes too big and be sure to notify the producers .... oh wait ... you're a dude.

Yep. Being a Pens fan hasn't been easy in a while. All loyalty is eventually rewarded. -

^ True dat. The Pens are STILL on very thin ice. The state is now involved and I fear that if they do not start working something out soon, then the Pens are history. To an area that has already lost so much business and residents, this is huge. It is obvious that they want to stay in Pittsburgh (seeing as what Kansas city is willing to offer), but time is running out. -

The Penguins might have let a lot of talent leave town, but don't count on that with Crosby. I mean ... Mario has him living at his house for cying out loud. Nothing short of a Canadian occupation of Pittsburgh will bring Crosby to the Leafs. -

^ Aren't you forgetting 91 and 92? ... or do you think that Crosby is a Maple Leaf? -

Sorry that we exported your greatest talent of the last 25 years. At least you got to keep Gretsky in his prime. Sidney Crosby = reward for loyal Penguins fans who suffered through some pretty crappy hockey for the last decade -
Idlewild announces new ride for 2007
CoasterFanatic replied to N'at Man's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ LOL Actually, I have always found the Larson models to be even easier to snap. It just works a little differently. Just don't try it at Hershey ... they shoot "snappers" on site. // also managed to get a ride time of about 30 seconds on the Oakwood flyers before the op looked at me like I was crazy. -

Wow. The Seminole Casino is only a couple of blocks from my old place. -
^ In no way did you run away. Your priorities changed and your family came first (as it should). Thank you for your 10 years of service.
