Pinball and Coasters...Any Questions?
Heck yes! That was one of my top 2 or 3 rides in the park, and my fav stand up, just over Iron Wolf. Most airtime in the park! :) I hope it shows up somewhere else. Great ride.

The ONLY steel coaster with trick-track...darn right I miss it! Terra Mitica had *better* get this ride before it turns to dust in the boneyard...
C'mon Paramount, time to learn something from SFI....did I just *say* that...;)
Sorry to say I just don't miss this coaster. Although there were fun elements to the ride, the outstanding wait and difficult restraints kept me from riding this coaster more often.

9/12/02 Pearl Jam releases Riot Act. 9/12/02 I go into Pearl Jam overload.
Was it anything like Shockwave at PKD because that is the most painfull ride I have ever been on. The restraint hit my jaw 4 times during the ride causing me to feel as if my ear was bleeding (only coaster to do that btw).
If King Cobra was anything like Shockwave then I don't understand how it could be at ll enjoyable.

CCN's forums are now fully operational.
I do miss it, although I complained about the ride the last few times I rode it, but that was just because of it's age and *OUCH* factor. Still, I miss it. I felt very sad seeing it being dismantled. I never thought I would be so sad to see a coaster go that I didn't even care for anymore.
It was an amazing ride at it's prime, and I remember having to stand in line for at least 2 hours when it first opened. I remember feeling damn scared the first time I rode it also, as I did my *first* times on the Beast, Bat, Vortex, and Drop Zone.
The TOGO's are obviously not as intense as the handful of B&M stand-ups I have been on, but they have their own unique, awesome elements that still has me hoping that Shockwave at PKD will stick around for a long time. KC got pretty nasty there at the end though. The restraints weren't exactly comfortable.
In any event, I am beside myself in anticipation for Delirium, since I love the frisbees.

Thankfully, no....NOT like Shockwave....horrendous restaints on Shockwave at PKD....when the op running it was talking to me, I was ALONE on the back row (with my shirt, he ID'd me as an "enthoosiast" and talked a bit with me...ride comes back, he asks if I want to re-ride (I *have* mentioned what a great time we had at PKD, fantastic employees)...I politely declined, but can't wait to get back to their park...even if I'll ride in the front next time...;)
bill, just *sucking up* to get into their employee newsletter again....j/k...:)
I miss it. I was so disappointed that they didn't give us notice. It was my favorite standup!

Well don't you know baby that life is a scream!" - Gordon Gano
