Yea that sounds like the slower train. On the other train I was riding with my jacket on and the strings were just smacking my eyes at the crazy ending airtime marathon as I call it. With that ride on the better train I would rank it higher than any of the rides at cedar point still outlaw run is my favorite -

Yes I do agree. I think it was two seasons ago that it was down for all but the last week of operation there at worlds of fun. Also if they do sometime remove timberwolf I think it should be replaced by the chance hyper lite. They look really intense like lightning run at Kentucky kingdom. Also I think it would be cool to ride a coaster made in my town because chance is located in Wichita kansas You guys have Mamba. The only way you would probably get a Hyper-Lite is if it was a 300ft attraction. I see what you are saying but hyper lites are never any taller than 120-150. -

Sad to see your experience on prowler wasn't that good. All I remember from last year is that one of the trains runs slower than the other. I think it is the green train. But when you ride the fast train boy that coaster screams! -
Ah here's mine. You guys probably think its weird ranking timberwolf high. But i kind of have a way to ignore the roughness, we'll actually I think it is smoother this year than previous years. And I once went when I was the only person on the train and they didn't have the trim brakes on the drop on and boy did that thing fly wow the airtime was great --Generator: Jordan's Ballot Helper 2013 (wood)-- --Ballot: 2589e6fbdee-- --Coastertyphoon@aol.com------ LOCATION IN NEXT LINE (Please LEAVE THIS LINE IN BALLOT) ~"Wichita, KS" NAME IN NEXT LINE (Please LEAVE THIS LINE IN THE BALLOT) ~"Jayke Menges" RANK THE FOLLOWING RIDING SENSATIONS <-LEAVE Abrupt Airtime_____________________________,y,y,1 Sensation of Speed_________________________,y,y,2 Out of Control Feeling/Directional Changes_,y,y,3 Floating Airtime___________________________,y,y,4 Positive G's/Loops_________________________,y,y,5 Lateral Forces_____________________________,y,y,6 COASTER NAME PARK LOC <-LEAVE Outlaw Run Silver Dollar City MO,y,y,1 Prowler Worlds of Fun MO,y,y,2 Timber Wolf Worlds of Fun MO,y,y,3 Ozark Wildcat(SBNO) Celebration City MO,y,n,4 Twister II Elitch Gardens CO,y,y,5 The Beast Kings Island OH,y,n,6 Wildcat Frontier City OK,y,y,7 Blue Streak Cedar Point OH,y,n,8 Judge Roy Scream SFoT TX,y,n,9 Rattler Fiesta Texas TX,y,n,10 Mean Streak Cedar Point OH,y,n,11

I really wonder of the ride will be more reliable than it was in kbf. Also, for the people who have rode a windseeker, what is it like -

How rough was it -
What happens exactly is on one of the raven turns (I believe it's the second one) the forces from the first half of the turn send your legs out away from the car (so they're straight) and then the second half of the turn forces your legs to come back abruptly and your calves slam against the car. The forces are so strong that I have not been able to prevent it no matter how I try to hold my legs. Some ankle restraints like Tatsu has would be perfect. Supposedly it doesnt do this as much when you ride on the inside, and even less so if you have a heavy person on the outside, but every time I've ridden it in the last few years I end up being on the outside with no one on the inside which is the worst way to ride. A lot of the restraints on the inside are broken and don't go up high enough for us taller folks. Oh and do they let you choose what car of the train you sit in?

It's not like a wooden coaster at all. A wooden coaster typically is rough from side to side, while X2's roughness is typically headbanging. It's not very bad and can be quite tolerable once you go on it a few times. I don't get headbanging, usually leg smashing, which can be pretty bad unless you're on the inside seat. Wha do you mean by leg smashing. I think I know but just want to make sure.

NoLimits Coaster News!
Jaykethekid replied to Loefet's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
They claim to be 95% done. However, it was in 2007-2008 when NL2 was first announced to be in production, so I have no clue how long that last 5% will take. They say on nolimits coaster.de that it will be out after the beginning of November and they are doing some final touches. So it will for sure be coming out this year. -

A little question for you guys. Would you rather timberwolf get topper track but keep The same layout or change it to a new iron horse track layout? -
I am going to guess that if they are broken, SFMM probably won't waste the money in trying to repair them. If by special effects, you mean the fog and fire, then the fire still works, although they turn it off when it's too windy. I haven't seen the fog working in quite some time, although it's definitely possible that it's just been too breezy when I've been there for it to be visible. My most recent ride on X2 was in July and the fire was working, so I would assume that this will be the case when it reopens. As others have stated, the on-board audio is spotty at best. I was mainly thinking about the on board audio
