Thumbs up. These kinda rides are RIGHT in my genre. I can handle the roughness. I think people exaggerate how rough these coasters are. Mean Streak was NOT very bad as I remembered it before trims. SOB had a kinda boring layout, so the roughness makes it great. If a designer could just design the right train, these large woodies would be just fine.
Mean Streak- problem with the trains navigating turns
SOB- trains not very good, designed by premier(why?why?) fix those trains and everything will be fine lap bars gotta go
I think one of the main reasons Intamin is so great is because their trains are COMFORTABLE!!!

Coasters- a little slice of heaven

Well, Ive ridden MS and American Eagle (147). MS was too painful, too long, and no air! AE was good, good air, but too much braking on the helix!
MS-
TDown
AE-
TUp

Top 3:
1. Millenium Force
2. Raptor
3. Batman: the Ride

SOB -Thumbs down. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it. I do like the visuals. It's just not in the top 20. Anything by CCI, GCI, the old John Millers, etc, ride much better. The Beast is the best woodie at PKI. SOB is way better than MS, though.

MS - Thumbs down. Just a dull, lifeless ride. I do like how it looks, especially on a slightly foggy night from the top of MF.

Well, the only one I've ridden of these is Hercules, and I'll give it a thumbs-up. When I first rode it in it's opening year, I loved the first drop and the big turn over the water. But recently, its lost something, but I still think it's decent.
