mikeykaise Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 After riding the Boss one time and never again the best thing they could do to fix that coaster is implode it. I hurt for 2 days afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Rest assured, they're going to do the same thing with it that they have been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Everyone's pipe dream for Boss is the RMC Iron Horse treatment. But with how Cedar Fair loves Gravity Group's pre-cut track, I don't think anyone would complain too much if they came in and redid 90% of the thing. It would get me down to the park for my first visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately thus far none of the Cedar Flags Gravity Group reprofiled rides have received new trains. Eagle would also see Precut, with Cedar Flags appearing to add it to several old PTC coasters already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I think a Gravity Group retrack would make The Boss the premier coaster in the park. That's the kind of top-down improvement I can appreciate. Instead, I suspect we'll see more updates about new trash cans and painted shitter stalls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unironically, It's already the premier coaster in the park. The Boss is a goddamned monster of a ride and I love it to death. Top three woodie, no notes, perfect ride. Back seat only, harder daddy. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveStL Posted yesterday at 03:04 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:04 PM I always hated the Mid-Course Brake on the Boss... happens way too soon in the circuit. First and Third Drop are great fun, otherwise it is sorta Meh. The Double Helix removal also disappointing. I rather ride SE or Americal Thunder.

Danrarbc Posted yesterday at 03:29 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:29 PM A Gravity Group reprofile might well delete the MCBR - and dramatically reshape that vertical element. Now that they're sticking to two train ops the MCBR is no longer needed for block zone needs. Actually they could shorten most or all three of those hills to some degree to improve the pacing. I could see them adding an outerbank on one of them too* - they've added an odd-banking element on at least one other reprofiling project (Tonnerre 2 Zeus). To compensate for the increased speed a trim would be added to the station flyby - with good programming to ensure it never hits more than it needs to (without it that final turn and airtime pop would likely be painful - and would still be needed if the helix was restored). * I'd put it on either the entry or exit of this turnaround.

prozach626 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I kind of like the suspense the MCBR adds. It's like another first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago ^ Especially in the back row when you casually roll straight through with no real trim then get launched out of your seat, only for the remainder of the coaster to be an all-out assault on your body in the best way. Harder, daddy. I'm being serious. The Boss is incredible. I'll die on this hill. Yes, you are all wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ridden it in years, but I remember it being savagely fun with defensive riding and a couple beers. Middle of the train non wheel seat, grab the bar in front of you, and lean forward off the seat. Then, hold on for dear life. It's probably just like bull riding only worse, right?
