boldikus Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Would Twisted Colossus count as wood? I'm pretty sure that's classified as steel. Steel track = steel coaster.
bobrogin Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Based on the results shown, I have ridden 93 of the 126 North American woodies. Not too shabby for a geezer who is getting near the end of one of his favorite pastimes.
Schrecken Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I got a total of 39, which is surprising, especially knowing that my woodie count is even higher if I include defunct coasters. But the nice thing is that I will be able to add Invadr as my 40th at some point this year.
redfoot12 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Whoops. Forgot to count Little Dipper at SFGAm so I'm actually at 47. I'm also trying to figure out the discrepancy in my personal count this one. Between defunct and counting coasters like Rebel Yell and Racer as two, I still seem to be off by one. Oh well.
chickenbowl Posted February 27, 2017 Author Posted February 27, 2017 62 of 126 49% That's impressive - Is your favorite Thunderhead or Lightning Rod?
Dollywood Pete Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 62 of 126 49% That's impressive - Is your favorite Thunderhead or Lightning Rod? Between the two Lightning Rod but my number one remains The Phoenix at Knoebels

coasterbill Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 but my number one remains The Phoenix at Knoebels I knew I liked this guy...
storms555 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 ^ I noticed that coaster as well as the park itself gets a lot of hype even more then Cedar Point at times it seems. I never been there so I wouldn't know of course but why does that park get so much hype? I'm genuinely curios by the way Im not trying to put the place down I'm just wondering. My favorite wooden coaster so far is Goliath at Great America but I'm sure it will change in the future hopefully(Im looking at you El toro Lightning Rod or future Mean Streak!)
michaellynn4 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Knoebel's makes you feel like you've transported back in time to the way a local amusement park operated in the 1960s. The food is fantastic, the rides are impeccably maintained and each turned up to 11, all set in a neon paradise. It's hard to explain the feeling you get until you visit it for yourself. It's not the amusement park we need, but the one we deserve.
redfoot12 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 ^Yeah. I feel like it's the park that most makes me feel like a little kid again.
storms555 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 interesting. Is it also complete with the old fashioned carnival music that plays through out the park too? Like the amusement parks and carnivals you seen in cartoons and tv shows. Yet in real life you usually only hear typical radio music through out most parks and carnivals.

You'll have all of the old fashioned carnival music your heart desires.
sfriday1998 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I actually passed by Knoebels signs on my recent PA trip for an audition at Dickinson College. The fanboy/enthusiast inside of me cried out "I'll be there one day!!" as the sun set slowly over the desolate highway.
Vtafro Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Score: 82 of 126 (65%) Rank: #148 of 1,487 users (top 11%) Can't wait to get some new ones this year.
brattius Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 40 out of 126 31 % I really need to get up north more. LOL
redfoot12 Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 ^Partially inspired by this thread, I'm making a random goal of trying to get 10 new wooden coaster credits this year. InvadR should be easy. The other ones that are possibilities are Swamp Fox, the ones at Camden, Mystic Timbers, Lightning Rod, and Thunderhead.
Philrad71 Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 50 or 40% - not too shabby! Interesting that they consider Devil's Den at Conneaut Lake a wooden coaster - maybe more like particle board coaster.
bgtlover Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 +3 that are no more or SBNO: Thunder Road Hurler (KD) Gwazi I have some traveling to do...
