Instead of stupid people complaining that these rides were destroyed, let's be grateful that:
a) no one EVER has to ride it again
b) no one was either on the rides or at the parks at the time of the collapses.
Agreed?
If it was a rough ride that most people generally didn't like, and mother nature took care of it then people are going to be happy. Usually, that means something better can come out of it.
Let's be glad this thing is gone instead all of New England.
Unfortunately, Superstorm Sandy (combination of Hurricane Sandy and a Nor'Easter) is not over yet. The Superstorm will be dumping large amounts of snow within the next 48 hours. Hope all is well where everyone is.
I'm probably going to have the Weather Channel on for the rest of the day, so if anything comes up, I'll mention it here. I'm a weather enthusiast and an amateur meteorologist, so when things like this happen, I get excited.
I love Georgia Cyclone. It's a little rough, but isn't that what a wooden coaster is suppose to feel like. I'm glad that RMC went in and retracked some portions, but I'm hoping that more is retracked over the off season.
Georgia Scorcher several years ago. Such a great way to end the Stand-Up coaster era. Short, sweet, intense, smooth, and to the point, it sure is one of my favorite coasters of all time.
