If I do the Con and decide to ride that son of a beeyotch, I'm taking the goood drugs that the doctor give me for my leg pains. That might be the best ride that I ever took on that SOB. Along with a couple of stackers and Red Bull to use for chaser for the pain meds, I might have a good time on the coaster. Hell, I might not get up out of the seat...but I'll remember every bit of it.

Now, just to find a Patsy for my Edina...and dont forget the vomit flavoured jelly beans. I could fix wes a breakfast he could never get at Cracker barrell.

I saw these trains were going on SOB - OMG. Ouch. Hurricane and SOB were fighting it out at the bottom of my woodie list, with Hurricane not being helped one bit by those Rolling Torture Chambers. They may do ok on some rides, but not on any that don't keep their gauge consistently or that have lots of curves. Gee, yeah, SOB makes perfect sense for these in that regard.

Combine what's left of one of my least favorite coasters with one of my other least favorite coasters, and subtract the one redeeming feature that SOB had - the loop - what do you have left? Pain.

Completely off subject, but I stumbled on this accidentally while checking out a link in a comment by Foreseer. I may be living in the past here but I was unaware that KD was trying to get rid of XLC. This is XLC at KD, right?

Yes, it is.

If it was up to me I'd say sell it and trash Hurler and instal new GCI. lol

I won't shed a tear over Hypersonic. It's not high on my list of favorite coasters. It's just not comfortable to me at all.

The deed is done. Hurricane is no more.

Didn't notice this before, but there's a video of the lift coming down.

OMG...I watched that and thought...there is still alot of Hurricane left. The entire lift hill is still intact, surely they wont......OMG......they dropped the whole thing. That was ridiculous. I would like to see them do that to Kingda Ka....that would be fun to watch

[CoasterChris]

That was actually pretty cool seeing the whole thing come down like that. Sad but cool.

May Hurricane's trains continue to abuse people in Ohio for many years to come on Sonny, in tribute to their former home.

[coasterdave]

There is nothing sad about seeing that POS hitting the ground. I would just have wanted to be the one pulling it over.

I agree that the Hurricane became unworthy of riding (for me anyway) during the last 2 years of it's life, but seeing it topple over like that was just the final nail in the coffin. The end of an incredible era.
