molemaster43 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Looks like a nifty smaller scale woodie. Intamin seems to have done a pretty good job with this ride.
SkiDude02 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Looks like a very nice junior woodie. I would love to ride it sometime.
robbalvey Posted October 19, 2013 Author Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Here's another TPR Video! How many people have been on Superman aka "Ride of Steel?" If we get 25 comments before we post the next one we'll give away a Bag-O-Crap! So... POST YOUR COMMENTS!!! Edited November 17, 2013 by robbalvey
cfc Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Pardon my ignorance, but is Schwarzkopf the only coaster designer who sometimes used a curved chainlift in his rides? I recall seeing them on Schwarzkopf coasters but not on any others.
Sharon29060 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Seems like a fun coaster Edited October 19, 2013 by Sharon29060
Coaster Cow Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 One of my all-time favorites. Just really well composed, and the fact that there is only one vertical-ish dive actually makes it that much better in my opinion.
Aceattack52 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Pardon my ignorance, but is Schwarzkopf the only coaster designer who sometimes used a curved chainlift in his rides? I recall seeing them on Schwarzkopf coasters but not on any others. I think you're right. I would think I would remember seeing another curved chain lift because they don't come up often.
XYZ Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Hopefully, Knightmare gets relocated somewhere, it looks like a really nice Schwarzkopf coaster and it would be sad to see it scrapped.
ProwlerPrey Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Is this ride an exact copy of Jetline at Grona Lund or is there a difference in track layout? The two seem almost identical to me.
gerstlaueringvar Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Pardon my ignorance, but is Schwarzkopf the only coaster designer who sometimes used a curved chainlift in his rides? I recall seeing them on Schwarzkopf coasters but not on any others. I think you're right. I would think I would remember seeing another curved chain lift because they don't come up often. I think Japan has one that has a couple of turns on the lift that is probably made by Meisho/Senyo. I could be wrong, just remembered seeing it somewhere. ^ kind of different as this one has an airtime hill after the first big turn and Jet Line has a twist. It could be a really fun coaster, could be better if they take the mountain from Japan. Schwarzkopf is GREAT!
simaticable Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Looks to be another great Schwarzkopf, but then again, when is there not one? (Revolution doesn't deserve to be treated the way it's treated.)
gisco Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I'm a little bummed that I had a chance to ride this back in 2005 and didn't.
rctneil Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I loved this ride. It gets pretty intense near the end with the tight turns and rather quick transitions. I always check it's still there when I drive north on the M6. I hope somewhere buys it. Maybe it could do well at Lightwater.
Willhlikeschicken Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 It's sad that a coaster that looks as fun as this one didn't seem to be taken care of well by the park. Then again, that applies to over half of six flags' coasters.
Nrthwnd Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 The ride was a touch rough for me, but I still enjoyed the ride. I wish I could have ridden it, when "the mountain" was all around it, back in it's Japan days.
SingleRiderCam Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 For a Schwarzkopf coaster, this looks very interesting, but looks painful on those transitions and turns. I would have a chance to ride it, if it was still open.
neovortex2k Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 It looks like a Schwarzkopf, feels like a Schwarzkopf but where the signature loop? I feel a little cheated!
SkiDude02 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Omg... that's totaly random I clicked on this same video in the TPR youtube channel the other day and Robb picked it for the bag-o-crap. It still looks fun. The curved lift hill is interesting for some bizarre reason... don't know exactly why but that's just me.
FreeFaller Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 During my UK trip in 2012 we stopped at Camelot. We didn't want to go there first, but since it was on our way we just stopped by and now after the park's closing, we're even more happy about having gone there! Knightmare was fun!
robbalvey Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) No Bag-O-Crap given away for the last video, so maybe this one will grab your attention!

cmullin Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 First ride that I ever got airtime that actually noticed. I think it's one of the underrated woodies in the world.
jokey Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 This is one of the few boardwalk coasters that I want to ride. This looks like it is a lot of fun!
frozenflames Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I wish I could have gotten a chance to ride this on my big California trip when I was a kid. Looks like a fun coaster!
Sharon29060 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 That's a nice wooden coaster, would like to try it out!
