coasterdude5 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Is this replacing the cockroaches? I bet some people are glad it's not Pysclone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 ^ I bet you if they did this on Psyclone, someone would either have to go to the hospital, or die from the pain and disorientining ride. There would be no way to get me on Psyclone backwards unless you paid me. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippyTrick09 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yeah I can ride your mom... I mean Collosus backwards for 13 hours... maybe... It would be fun. I've always wanted to do a coaster marathon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 They should launch Superman backwards. Now that would be wierd. Or, put the trains on Tatsu backwards. That would just be freakin crazy. Colossus, not so much. But, my dad said if we could find some way to get me up to SFMM on that day, he would let me go. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 The other prize is an lifetime exit pass for every park in the world (or thereabouts) because you will be in a wheel chair for life after 13 hours. Â I would give it a try if I lived in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USRoadTripper Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'd do it! I really enjoyed Colossus and would love to see how long I could actually ride the same coaster for! Â -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say that they did this in 93 or 94, not sure exactly the year. I'd be curious to know if Ninja would work backwards. I know Astroworld ran XLR-8 backwards, but I don't recall how popular it was. Most other rides, while I bet possible, would just not be much fun/safe, backwards.

jamesdillaman Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 ^XLR-8 had a couple cars backwards at the rear of the train. The problem with the ride was mainly slow pacing. It was boring forwards, so backwards didn't change much, just a little more disorienting.

USCoaster Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 If I was still in SoCal, I would love to do this. Maybe its a death wish or something, but I would be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtleggjp Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Has anyone actually been able to sign up for this yet? My co-worker called the morning I got the email, and the recording said to leave contact information, which she did, but hasn't heard anything else since.

KingOfNynex2003 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 i would love 2 do that! 2 bad i don't live in California then i would definitely go over there and do it! the longest i've ever been on a coaster non-stop was about 4.5 hours in Vancouver Canada.

GMAN962 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I would.........but I have school  I like backwards rides.....but then I hear it's rough backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakestar Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Throw in Gold FlashPass for the year - dunno if SFMM even has Qbot but that's neither here nor there - and I'd do it. Hell, for that I'd do 13 hrs of SFOG Ninja. Never ridden Colossus but it can't be any worse than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Well I have no idea how rough Colossus is, but I've ridden Coaster Express and I didn't thought is was that rough. So if I lived near SFMM I would do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TatsuXtreme Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 i want to, but my mom wont let me. plus i have school that day. Â i guess if i could get a ride out there, she would let me. Â Â Colossus has gotten really rough going forwards. i have never been on it backwards though so i dont really know. Â i'll probably go around the second or third sunday of october. Â i have compititions in band every saturday next month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaway Park Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I can't imagine riding Mindbender [Galaxyland] backwards for 13 hours... in fact.. I chickened out on riding it backwards in the first place... if you want to ride it though, there is always a backwards care, 3 loops, and 5.2 G... BACKWARDS.. ah... Â Anyways, Collossus looked like an awesome airtime layout, I would do it if I didn't life halfway accross the earth. The closest wooden coaster to me is Tremmors at Silverwood and it has bad reviews... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetrial3141592 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 They should do 13 hour marathons on all 15 working coasters (16 if you count S:TE, which I don't). 13 straight hours on RR... or X... ooh. 13 hours on X isn't a good idea.

Coasterlicious Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Would the gforce be less noticeable when you ride a coaster that long?.. Â Does your body get used to it?.. Â I know I once rode S:ROS 7 times one day, and after the first 2 rides I didnt really notice the air anymore..?... Unless it was my mind playing tricks on me.

onewheeled999 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I probably would if my parents would let me. But the prize, VIP tickets to Fright Fest, I wouldn't like. I hate things like that for some strange reason. Also, I have know idea how rough Colossos is, or how it goes. I've never been to Magic Mountain.
