bigstevet07 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 UGH, they still have the same dang restraints on it. So what if the ride is a bit smoother, the restraints are what made it bad. DIE TOGO HELL DIE!!!
robbalvey Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Actually the old trains tracking like crap is what made the ride rough, not the restraints. If the new trains track well, that could be a HUGE improvement. --Robb
chaos Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I like the wheel in the front of the new cars. You guys should look on the bright side. There's no way the ride could possibly get worse, and it has new trains. -Luke
TheStig Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 If those front wheels are spinners I think I might have to punch somebody. Colin"thinks they look like escort-moblies"C
chaos Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 ^I still think they look awesome. Top Thrill Dragster must be very jealous right now.
Jon Sabo Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Wow. I was just looking for this thread yesterday to see if anyone has received/posted any pics on the new trains. Has anyone here ridden the ride with the new trains? How was it? Looking at the photo's, it almost looks as if there were some modifications to the wheel assemblies. I can't blow it up enough to see it clearly. I wonder if it was just the coach/trains they modified and/or the wheel carrier units were modified as well (hopefully to improve the ride quality). The wheels themselves look a bit different too. Hmmm, new material. Now just need to have side-lighting similar to the old DF trains..lol
cgodsey Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 I will be riding it next week when I am in Vegas for a convention. I will be sure and post a full report if I make it off of the ride in one piece
Xtreeme79 Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Ironically, I find the trains to resemble crash test dummy mobiles. And WE are the dummy's.
chaos Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 ^I think you've stumbled upon the new theme of the coaster. It's the perfect way to stop people from complaining.
UberBeavis Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 They're Checker Cabs - We get to play the scum of the earth getting bashed by Travis Bickle...
VegasCoaster Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 There's no way the ride could possibly get worse, and it has new trains. -Luke They could add standup trains like they did on a few Arrow mine trains in the 80's I believe, that way you get some momentum before slamming your head into the restraints.
viking86 Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 The Arrow Corkscrew coaster that operated at Worlds of Fun from 1976 to 1988 ran standup trains for the 1983 season. I know I have seen a picture of it somewhere, but I cant remember where...
BeemerBoy Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Sooooo, any reports on the new trains, or did I miss something elsewhere?
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Sooooo, any reports on the new trains, or did I miss something elsewhere? When I was there in June they were still using the old trains.
cgodsey Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 When I was there a few weeks ago they were still using the old trains. I didnt even see the new trains. Same old craptastic ride! BTW, The lines get LOOOONG at night on the weekends so ride it as early as you can.
CP_RULES Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 The Arrow Corkscrew coaster that operated at Worlds of Fun from 1976 to 1988 ran standup trains for the 1983 season. I know I have seen a picture of it somewhere, but I cant remember where... The River King Mine Ride (arrow) at SFStL once had stand-up trains, but a woman died because of them so that got rid of 'em.
