imbordisux Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Wow... that thing looks like it's gonna fall apart at any moment. And, yeah, I know that's a somewhat cliche' joke, but that looks like it's made entirely out of friggin' popsicle sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkast Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Sweet PTR. I love the great escape and I'm glad you got so many photos in. I hate how when i went to SFNE flashback and great chase were closed so i didn't get the credits but I did go on superman 23 times and at least one ride on everything else. Anyway, great PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Fan Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Yeah the park had at least 4 of the old cars from CB laying around last year but now thats the only one I saw.. And it was way more bang'd up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Great TR, it only makes me save my money even harder to get back to the U.S.A. and get my A$$ to SFNE to ride Superman, I just havnt heard a bad word about it. Why dont you like Batman? I would have thought that a floorless B&M could do no wrong? (I've only ridden Kraken & Scream and thought that they were great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Eh. I have never liked BDK. Its VERY short.. And sometimes gives a VERY rough ride in the back row... The corkscrews can be worse then any boomerang or SLC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
