Mitch Hawker's Wood & Steel Coaster Poll 2008

[cfc]

During its opening season, KD's Hurler was great. But as years went by, it deteriorated and became absolutely brutal. The park has been doing some work on Hurler over the last few years, and it is improved (still not great, by any means, but not as nasty).

I don't see why everyone bashes Hurler.

 

If talking about KD's Hurler, then because it is a brutal, un-fun, spine-shattering, jaw-breaking, arm-snapping pile-of-bollocks, that should be immediately burnt down and never be mentioned ever again?

^Wank tells it like it is. With a Brit accent.

Same.

Oh well, at least there's Grizzly right next door which gives some of the most underrated night rides of any coaster in my opinion. After that first slow turn it's almost like a mini-Boulder Dash.

I think the full retrack was in 2005 or 2006. I agree it is better now than it ran from around 2000-2004ish. It is rough, but IDK, I like the airtime. The best airtime at KD, which isn't much of a statement.

I've created a new thread for the results since they kind of got buried in this thread:
