Ride Rotation Program

[[jonrev]]

Here's how it looked at GAdv (and it's Pendulum, not Frisbee. My bad)

Dude, there was already a link to that page in this topic.

I thought it was new! Where'd it come from?

Same

[zjohn1988]

You have to remember that the genereal public doesnt know that these rides arent new. I gaurantee you 99% of Great America Customers thought revolution was a brand new ride last year.

you have no idea how many people would ask me if revy was new..it happenned almost every day

[diggerg56]

Didn't King Chaos come from the same park as Revolution as well?

[[jonrev]]

I think KC was brand new for 2004. Unless it traveled with a carnival.

[nalarrabee4752]

KC Was bought at a cheap price since huss needed to get rid of it.

[twixmix0303]

Someone said in another topic a long while ago that it was used, not sure what's true though.

[FParker185]

King Chaos was built quite a while ago, but never used from what I heard. When Huss closed their Factory in Germany they sold off all the old junk at really good prices. So we are stuck with a barely functioning Top Spin.

No wonder there's always problems with it.

[v2guy13]

^. The GP won't know the difference.

Another way of them not knowing is that they change the names. If they don't know what the origial name was at the original park, it's another way of saying it's new. Look at Z-force. It got changed from z-force to Flashback, to Flashback(oh well), to Z-force, to flashback.

I think it would be a good idea if the ride rotation program started again. I could see Iron Wolf and Suf as good canidates.

[v2guy13]

Actualy, probably not Iron Wolf. It was B&M's first coaster, its very old, and who would want it? It hasn't been re-furbished and is very rough. i could see suf though.

[[jonrev]]

Every single time I rode IW i rarely got headbanging. How are you people getting beaten up by that ride and Im not?

[v2guy13]

^How tall are you? If your taller than the head rest goes then that's why. I know the seat moves but your head can still get caught between the harness. I'm 5' 2" so i get caught right in the center.

[CoasterDude12-2]

i could see suf though.

Superman was a very expensive coaster, and one thing about the Ride Rotation Program is that most of the rides that were part of it were cheap. Besides, its a flying coaster, and even though it may not offer that much of a thrill, the GP still likes unique coasters like that (similar to the attraction with IW).

I'm about 5' 6" or something like that (i havent checked my height recently). But my head is right in between the two headrest when i ride and I still feel little headbanging.

[v2guy13]

Well, then i guess your just weird.

No, im just kidding. I don't know why. But me and my friends always do the stupid thing and jump right before they lock the chairs and see who can endure the most pain.


Quite possibly the dumbest thing i have heard ever...Congrats

[twixmix0303]

Same here. And we're not that tall at all.

[Trailblazer Tony]

I think it is all in the person. I personally think Iron Wolf is painful, however others of my same height find it enjoyable. It all depends on the stature, height, size, build, and most of all, the way you ride rides. I like to just sit there and be amazed, which leaves the car to move me around and make the experience become uncomfortable. Unless the ride is blatantly painful, most people's opinions on what rides are headbangers are different.

[twixmix0303]

I think one of the trains might have newer, softer restraints. I noticed this during my IW marathon one night.

[[jonrev]]

All of them got B&M restraints sometime around 2000 or 2001. The original restraints were Intamin.

[twixmix0303]

That's right, you're right...they used to be red.

[Rusty888]

I rode IW front row one day, and it was really, really smooth. I'm about 5'7, but I think I just got lucky and got the good train, and like I said it was the front row.

[alfredo]

is the public going for the rides or the land scaping i belive the last set of owner had the parks running well new rides every other year and no words od debt my opinion sfga was running better before the last sale and for the ride rotation the parks that have the rides that mostly spin like we had in the past would be sfmm sfsl or sfog my opinion again
