firewalk13 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Mean Streak last weekend. Of note, you may have heard it had some work done in the offseason. That little bit of new wood really makes a difference, for like 3 seconds (a moment of buttery smoothness). Even though the work done was pretty limited it was, however, a great place to do some work. That drop had been the ouchiest part of the ride unless you were in the front row imo. I have to imagine a complete retracking would do the coaster justice and be an acceptable option rather than just tearing it down and replacing it entirely or turning it into a steel or hybrid coaster. If completely retracked with the amazing work done these days by GCI, Gravity Group, and RMC, they could get rid of the trims on the 1st drop and let the thing sizzle as it did in 91 (but not painfully!) Even new it was rough, then within 3 years it was absolutely brutal on the 1st drop until they put those trims in (and then it became boring). Charles Dinn, who believed people were not fans of negative Gs, managed to include one moment of airtime in the design, but the thing drags ass so much now you can barely tell. I believe I would enjoy the layout as it is now if it were smoother & faster, with some smarter banking and you could still feel the Gs and enjoy all the headchoppers without being repeatedly concussed.

cal1br3tto Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Timberhawk at Wild Waves on opening day. Marathoned it with almost all walk-ons. Definitely a front seat ride, the only time I ever chose to wait a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Corkscrew in Playland, PNE Vancouver. Â I had to convince myself again, that riding it last week with TPR, AND it riding smoothly, was a fluke..... Â It wasn't. Still pretty good. I was surprised. So congrats to Playland for the upkeep of this Celebrity Coaster, lol. Thar she be - Destination 3...... part of It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNick Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Closed out a marvelous visit to Kennywood on Sunday with a spin on Sky Rocket, the coaster that I love more and more each time I catch a ride on it!
