[quote="twixmix0303"]Well, I couldn't find an official Shockwave topic, but anyways:

They ought to have played Green Day's "Give Me Novacaine" in the queue (or exit) of Shockwave. :lol:[/quote]


Ha ha! They should've! lol :lol: They should've probably had a "Novicane Stand" in place of a concession stand. $5 for a shot of it!

They should have found a away to make SU:F longer....im sure it could have been done.....Ever notice at alot of parks. they dont just make the coaster FIT into a certain SPOT. they make it go over pathways were people are walking or over buildings..... I think maybe thats why SU:F ended up so small.... our park doesnt seem to have many coaster that travel outside of a certain area....except demon which goes over crowds. they could have made superman longer im betting...just imagin

Exactly, thats part of the reason I dont like clones, is because they have such basic layouts.

I would hardly call B:TR a basic layout.

I would, for the first inverted coaster to ever be built I would say it was great, but to be "New Attractions" at parks I dont really think so.

Or if the guy is in your lap, I don't know if I have done that yet (at least not on Whizzer, but on a different coaster) but it's just as good.

I took somebody's advice from these forums once, and decided to look down instead of up at the track on SUF sometime over the summer, and have been doing it ever since. Way more fun if you look down, gives you more of a flying feeling.


Hmm, I swing both ways on Whizzer, girl in my lap or me in a girls lap. As Dan can tell you :lol:

Whizzer is great, and rct2 is right, it's way more intense than a floorless


It is very different sitting in the girl's lap, especially with her being so much smaller than me. It was fun for me, but she said it was kinda painful. :D

I thought the idea of a floorless was pretty stupid just like you. If you havn't ridden one, you should try the one at GL in Ohio. Dominator is a really fun floorless coaster. I couldn't get enough of it.

I still dont get this, according to rcdb, the other two suf's are different than ours. The one at sfog has the exact same stats except is a minute shorter and has a dual loading station and the one at sfgdv is longer, right? I dont get how a coaster with the same length can be a minute shorter and have a dual station.

I was told to continue it here.

SFOG's and SFGAm's are not the same length. SFOG- 2759' while SFGAm- 2798' Not much of a difference but it's just the way it is. The whole 2 min and 3 min thing are probably just approximations, too. I notice the SUF at SFGADv is also 2759', and 2 min 6 seconds.

The probable reason that ours may be longer, but quicker is because if you look at pictures of the two, you can see SFGAm's having a small dip and come back up after the pretzel loop and SFOG's being straight.
