zongaboy626 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 hey guys do you guys think they should take out zonga and if they did what would they put there and what would my new name be
Canadmos Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I don't think it should be torn out. If it is, then at least sell it or give it away... Though I've never ridden it, I think it looks like fun but sort of painful with those otsr's. :?
robbalvey Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I say put it out of it's misery. It's really sad. Because when I rode it in Texas with the accordian restraints there was NOTHING wrong with it! I don't know what people were complaining about! Now the ride, when running is just uncomfortable and frustrating. It's a great ride, and I mean GREAT ride in it's original form, but we all know that is gone now. --Robb

MagnumForce Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I have to Veto the Knoebels comment, there are a couple other more suitable vintage Anton creations that I would much rather see Dick get. A 1980's bastardized painful ride is not on my list.
PhishyBrewer Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I have never seen the damn thing run. So I don't know what to think. Maybe Cedar Fair will put something good in it's place

A 1980's bastardized painful ride is not on my list. I agree. I actually wouldn't mind Knoebel's simply picking up a decent shuttle loop knowing it would preserve one of those forever.... -Robb
Cerberus Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Wasn't open when I went, so I can't judge what it was like to ride. But at least it looks in decent condition. I mean, all the paint is fine and it looks structurally decent. I say do SOMETHING with it, but not smash it down. Cerberus
ParkTrips Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I had heard something about Dick wanting to buy Olympia Looping but with the dollar being so weak he wanted to hold off. This was before the Flying Turns thing came about though, so that may be off the table If Knoebels got a Schwarzkopf I would definately trek back up there. Heck, even a shuttle loop like Robb said would be great!! - Joe, who was sad that Taz's Texas Tornado was closed on his trip to Astroworld
X Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Don't tear it down! 1. Its the only one of its type in the world. 2. Its the only credit at SFMW I don't have! Instead of turning it into scrap metal, FIX IT!!!!!!!! Kevin"Hoping this SBNO for Zonga is making it better"Bujold
ChemicalWhore Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 i just went to six flags mw last week and i had horrible time i think its worse then sfmm, didnt help i tried to get on V2 i think it is and the seat belt wouldnt latch so i had to get off! Im not a small guy but ive never had a problem getting on any other coaster so it was embarssing to say the least.
USCoaster Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Don't tear it down! 1. Its the only one of its type in the world. 2. Its the only credit at SFMW I don't have! Instead of turning it into scrap metal, FIX IT!!!!!!!!Kevin"Hoping this SBNO for Zonga is making it better"Bujold While I'm not sure, based on how the train has been sitting in the station with the restraints open and waiting for riders, I'm pretty sure SFMW could just power up, cycle it a couple times and open it. If they were planning on keeping it closed all year, I wish they had taken the train off the track. It just sits there waiting for something to happen.
MagnumForce Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 ^^Ah yes, the joy of Intamin. I have a 34 inch waist and can barely fit on Millennium Force. You don't have to be all that big to not fit on an Intamin.
sfmmFREAK Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 hell, move it sfmm, that's what they did with flashback.
tinkerbell Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Out of all of the times I've been to SFMW, I think I've seen it actually running with people in it twice. And my friends who have been on it said it was pretty painful. So since I've never actually been on it, I don't really have an opinion about what they do with it, but getting it to work might be a good start.
arrowfanman Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I didn't queue long for it, so I cant say it wasn't worth the wait. But it wasn't too enjoyable, and I wouldn't wait for it again.
viking86 Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Having been on 2 schwarzkopf coasters, I can imagine Zonga being quite painful with OTSR. Schwarzkopfs are usually smooth, but they also throw you around a bit. Im sure Zonga would be fantastic with lapbars only.
crispy Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 OK, this is NOT ROCKET SURGERY Fix the DAMN coaster, Return the loops to how they are SUPOSED to be STOP F%&@ING with Good coasters and turning them to unridable CRAP
socalMAN123 Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 hell, move it sfmm, that's what they did with flashback. It would be identical to Flashback, it would never run except maybe once every three years. SFMW is just wasting space by keeping Zonga there. Either give it to Knobels, put it back in WAY better condition, or scrap it. ---Brent 8)
