DATman Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 If you could replace the track of ANY woodie with Intamin Prefab. what would it be? My vote goes to Ghostrider, the remains of a good ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoubraStreet74 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Psyclone at SFMM *shudders* But I still enjoy Ghostrider so I would keep that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Ghostrider could use it. But, I would have to go with Son of Beast. I hear it's almost unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Mean Streak, so that it won't destroy its self any more than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 ^^ It isn't in the front, but everywhere else it's murder, like the Beast in the back (killed my back even worse than psyclone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Benny Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 SFNE's Cyclone. That was the first time I experienced true pain on a roller coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasters 4 me Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Tonnerre De Zeus. I rode that thing and it was insane. I could just imagine what it would be like with Intamin Prefab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hurricane: Category 5 at the Myrtle Beach Pavillion, South Carolina. That is the ONLY coaster I don't like, the ONLY one I have experienced pain on, and the ONLY one I felt like my liver was displaced and unattached by!!! That thing just plain SUCKS!!!!!

ECZenith Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Another vote for SFNE's Cyclone. While we're at it, let's get some Millennium Flyers on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Thundercoaster @ Tusenfryd. Its not the roughest wooden coaster Ive been on, but its one of the few exciting woodies Ive been on. If it only was smoother and faster (the shuffling causes it to lose alot of speed) it would have been one hell of a good ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Why don't they just lay down some pre-fab wood track on dragster so Cedar POint can take therecord for tallest wooden coaster haha. They could make shirts taht said 'I rode the worlds largest wood, gigiddy gigiddy gigiddy GOOO !!' haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Balder, because if it's already prefab'd, then adding another prefab would make it like...twice as fabricated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm a bit surprised no one has said this one yet... SOB. This ride would really be awesome if it were a bit smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 ^It doesn't rattle your brains out or get significantly rougher over time if parks don't maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willski Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 ^It doesn't rattle your brains out or get significantly rougher over time if parks don't maintain it. Nah. If a park truly allows their prefab coaster go down the tubes (think some Six Flags and CF), it will suck. It's basically a steel coaster on wooden suppports. It takes less TLC than a normal woodie, but you still have to maintain it somewhat for it not to suck (just like steel coasters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 ^^ It isn't in the front, but everywhere else it's murder, like the Beast in the back (killed my back even worse than psyclone). Late this year it was very smooth. Not a ton of retracking seemed to be done to it. I just felt the ride was pretty blah. As for the thread...probably Mean Streak. But a total redesign would be needed anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redunzelizer Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 ... It's basically a steel coaster on wooden suppports. ... What are you talking about? Better go read the according patent before confusing people like that... http://tinyurl.com/nhuy Those Intamin "prefabs" are IMO *pure* woodies by any means of definition. The wooden rails are layered and with steel plates, like on any woodie ever since. (and with Intamin's tracks, supports made of wood too). In case you were referring to track precision or heartlining, we *could* shamelessly ask: What about for instance "The Voyage"? Not that much wood used there. But very advanced track shaping, just like with the Intamin's. What's *that* called then? I'd personally never consider calling The Voyage a "steelie". But would you? redunzelizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
