KenB wrote:Yeah, I was gonna mention the failure that was the Carolina Cobras arena football team. Went to one game during their short stay here in Charlotte. I have to assume Raleigh ran them out due to crapiness. Their run onto the field to Godsmack's Voodoo was cool, and the cheerleaders were quite easy on the eyes. It was when the team actually started playing that it all went to crap. The team scored like 17 points, which in Arena is about like getting shut out. I think their opponent had like 55 or something.

Maybe it's a good analogy - the ride may be themed well and look good (cheerleaders) and it may seem like it's going to be thrilling going up the first spike and roaring through the station (intro music) before it all goes to headbanging hell (actual play on the field).


LMAO- I like the analogy Ken.

I know some will disagree with me, but when I rode it last year at Geagua Lake it didn't bash me one time.

Maybe I'm the "perfect" size for Vekoma Boomerangs. lol

And Max, nice boomer joke on the C3 flyer. LOL

Hey guys, I have not posted in awhile and felt like a new identity, so I made a new account. I know everyone is thinking snake, it probably is that, and I have not seen the "box" yet, but when I think of Chinese animals that have been worshiped, I think of one animal. The dragon, I know the dragon is a part of the Chinese culture tremendously. Could they be feared and worshiped? I know this is an out there theory, but I just wanted to ask your opinon.

Patch.

Saturator is for sale! :x I was hoping it would get melted into the hyper coaster.


LOL. Oh well, at least it won't rot in the boneyard.

Well I talked to someone (not saying names for fear of being strapped to Reptar for an hour at C3) and apparantly there is a twist coming involving the coaster. Not sure what it is, but I have my theories. We'll just have to wait and see if I'm right.

Damn you - you're going to get my hopes up that they've changed plans and will give us Lazer instead, or new trains for RattlingCobraViperVenom - and it'll turn out to just be a neon sign for the thing.

I'll expect the sign, and be pleasantly surprised if something better actually emerges.....

Well, if that's the case, that just makes me think more and more that we'll be getting those new Vekoma trains! *crosses fingers* :D

Not to mention the parks "tallest coaster", by a vaguely notable yet marketable one foot.
