rctneil Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Once the first group had had their cycle, they got off and the second group of us got on it and the op pressed the "Go" button and the whole train jerked slightly but didn;t go anywhere! The op kept pressing the button and then Robb figured out that the op wasn't giving it enough time to recharge and therefore was wasting the power each time so we all hatched a plan to get her away from the controls so we said "oh well, never mind", all got off and wandered around the immediate area, then after 5-10 minutes we all tried again and low and behold, it worked! YAY! It was rather funny and i'd love to know if this has operated since. RCDB says it's SBNO but remember it was classed as "Closed" on the sign!
Hugecoltsfan Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I don't know why but I find those smiley faces on the cars kind of creepy. Edited January 28, 2014 by Hugecoltsfan
SharkTums Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Putting KT on this coaster was probably my worst bit of parenting to date! I really thought we were going to die.
simon8899 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 For most whacky TV-shows this would be a dare for a candidate - we just do it without major second thoughts. Wonder what Freud would say about it...
Cyrbuzz Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 You have to admit KT is one tough little kid. She is definately a coaster enthusiast like her folks.
SharkTums Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 ^You should see the looks she gives me when she's not allowed to ride stuff! Or the look on her face the entire time we were at Cedar Point!
SuperShawn Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 ^ At Cedar Point, that had to have been the look of disappoint in Jake and Thad.
Barge84 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I already felt terrible about my shooting performance, then I made KT cry. Pretty great day...
Cyrbuzz Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 My son Anthony gets bummed when he can't go on big rides too. He's seven and being groomed to be a coaster nut like his dad.
Koasterking48 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks for the stuff! My cat and I will enjoy the POVs very much!
triggernel Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 That's a frighteningly awesome coaster! The closest thing I have to a scary credit would probably be LoCoSuMo, and that's more bizarre than scary, lol
krakenmaniac Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I never new it was even possible to "hot wire" a roller coaster. WTF!!!!!! And those cars looked like they were almost going to tilt off the track!!
SingleRiderCam Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I can see the reason why they were planning to remove the ride.
TroyWD98 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Nice video. Does this coaster make it near the top of the list for most sketchy roller coaster experiences?
Cyrbuzz Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Remember tinker toys? I think I built something once as a kid that kind of reminds me of this coaster. Ah the memories!
LiMiT Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 This goes in Club TPR's "strangest credits" book alongside the indoor jungle roller coaster that valleyed with a train full of TPR members!
FreeFaller Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 This coaster looks really scary! It's a miracle that you guys always manage to ride coasters that are actually not rideable! It shows how much effort you put into these tours!
Vonni Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Lol we Enthusiasts really will do anything for a credit!
NegativeGLover Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I think every park needs one of these... If you can get it to run, you can ride it! An engineer and lawyer's dream, all at the same time! Seriously, the engineer in my would love to go around to parks with closed rides and see if I could get the going.
piedude81 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I guess "hotwiring" makes sense because it was a powered coaster... I don't know. I can't imagine how scared I would be if I took that credit opportunity. Doesn't matter, got the credit!
yay101 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 No that ride does look sketchy, because of the colors, supports, and the ending where the train went really slow! However I am glad they opened it!
Sharon29060 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Well, that's certainly something you don't see everyday
Cyrbuzz Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I haven't seen that much rattling around since my last ride on Gwazi.
