I have to say this *looks* amazing, but I am wondering how it is going to ride. Look awesome though, and I can't wait for it to open. -
If this is true, Im very happy to see them give it the Iron Horse treatment. I rode it a few years ago, it was not pleasant at all. I have to wonder if Colossus will remain a racing coaster or not. Personally I hope they bring back the original layout, so we have those bunny hills. I am curious to see if they will make it loop or not, and how they will alter the layout.

That looks like a fun ride! Too bad it was a maintenance nightmare... It looks like it would have a chance to have topped Eagle Fortress. If Arrow had a tiny bit of foresight perhaps.... Those cars look like a wolf was throwing around a rag-doll. But yes, if the turns had been banked, and a number of other variables were under control, I think it might have been up there with Eagle Fortress.

I think SOB was one of those "looks great on paper" type of things. I have to agree with everything Lareson said. I think back when the park was PKI, they wanted something to draw the crowds away from CP. A looping wooden coaster would do just that. also, from what I gather RCCA wasn't known for smooth wooden coasters. The only reason I am sad is because it is the credit I never got. Now I get to wonder what will be put on that nice big plot of land.

I am sure the GP are glad they are getting a "new" coaster. I personally think it would be silly for SFStL to not get new trains, but again, that is my opinion. I think the SFStL will more than likely just use the original trains, as unfortunate as that would be. We can sit here all day and bicker about this park getting a used boomerang, but that won't accomplish anything. I know I am guilty of complaining, and I feel bad that this park isn't getting something new and custom, but complaining won't change it.

the expression of the guy in the second row is "OMG why aren't you calling the paramedics?!" -
To be honest, the worst for the bottom parts that I have personally seen, is a grease stain. The bottom mechanisms don't really do too much in the way of damaging a person by moving parts. However I have seen a guests' hair get caught inside the shoulder restraints inside the fiberglass casing. I may not have seen anything like a pant leg getting caught, but thats not to say it hasn't or won't happen.

Not sure wether they used just parts or entire trains but some of KC's hardware is now on shockwave.It wouldn't be too hard to rehab the KC trains,repaint them & test them on the ride to put them in operation as shockwaves original trains are now 26 years old. I used to be a ride-op for Shockwave for almost three years. Yes we have one full train from King Cobra, as does CW. We also have most of the parts reproduced/refurbished by Premier Rides. And the Shockwave trains though being 26 are younger than the one stored outside from King Cobra. I feel if anything was to be removed it would be Anaconda, mostly because it has gotten horrible over the years. I would hope they would refurbish it, but I don't see that happening.
