Coming in 2003-The Spawn Of Magnum!

.....A day before my birthday. Well I guess I will be partying well into my old age, mayhaps too much for my 91st.

...it IS nice to know that even when I'm not *on patrol* that things here at the BatCave are well taken care of.....
That's why I nominated her, Gator! Even when the Board is Mooshless, Chrisless, Gatorless, Nasailess, and mostly Bassless, Dawn is fighting the good fight (along with Magnum). Rock on, Dawn!
Bass - 8/5/66-5/16/40...1,177,571,478 seconds to go

Bass: did you leave one of your fellow CPG members off the list? I was under the impression that nasai was on the team too.
You know, when I typed that at work today, something looked wrong with it, but I could not for the life of me figure it out. Glad someone's on the case!

Of course I had to go and check *sadistic mode*....looks like '03 will be my final farewell to SRM and HW....all you *delinquents* had better show, since I may not make it to another....

Here's what I don't get. On X they have a large tubular strongbacl, two tubular running rails and two tubular X rails. That's five tubes!
What would make more sense, at least to me, is to use a triangular truss, kinda like intamin. I'm sure they don't have a patent on truss track, because a truss is such a basic engineering structure. Anyway, this truss track would be inverted from your normal intamin style, with the flat bits on the bottom. The depth of the truss makes your (single) X rail. The rotation of the two sides is locked together (single shaft for all 4 seats) and driven from the truss in the center. That's only three tubes. The depth would of course go from some minimum structural depth to a couple feet more, whatver was needed by the rotations. it just seems like this wuld be MUCH easier to build, and cheaper to boot. I mean, honestly, why can the sides rotate independently? If they can't why are there two X rails?
Coma
Thought about it some more, and your X rail would have to be oblong, or double, so as to get upstops under it. So edit tat to be box track. Everything else holds

dawnmarie, they didn't have a setting for an *optimistic Sadist*....otherwise, I'd have been all set! I mean, c'mon who ELSE rides Psyclone just to enjoy the pain...;) I was even thinking of buying stock in Gerstlauer, lol....
Believe me, I'll fight for my right....to par-tay! Beastie Boys meet Bart Simpson....:)
bill, hoping to be around for SRM1K....shoot, I'm aiming for 3004!
Bill and the *Optimistic Sadists* That is definitely a band name. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) Psyclone wasn't running on my recent trip to CA.
