Parks with more than 1 out & back?

Are there any parks out there with more than one out and back woodie?

-----------------

Well, all parks that have racing out-and-backs.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach does, I think. Big Dipper looks like a O&B, Rollercoaster is a O&B, and Grand National is kind of a double-O&B racer.

-----------------
Yatta!
Hey, look, I have a signature now! Even if it is only Yatta...

Six Flags Worlds of Adventure has two, Villain and Big Dipper.

"Yeah, they did it in Superman 3"

and Raging Wolf Bobs
Raging Woff bobs isn't an out and back.

Sorry about that--getting coasters mixed up - your right--i was thinkin it was-but now i remember--sorry!
PKD has two or three (considering your opinion)out & back's, the Hurler and Racer.

Sonofmagnum, you're right. It's very easy to mix up coasters. Except for the bruises and headaches, RWB is pretty darn forgettable in it's current state! (For me, that is)

What's the difference between a regular wooden coaster and an out-and-back?

SecondSon: An Out and Back woodie is a woodie that goes out to the farthest point of the track and then returns to the station. A double out-&-back does this twice and a triple out-&-back does it thrice.

PC has 3 or 4 depending on your opinion. It has Thunder Road (racing coaster), Hurler, and Scooby Doo (is this considered and out-and-back?)

SFOT sort of does - Judge and the Texas Giant. Yeah, you're thinking the Giant is a twister, BUT it goes out and come backs 3 times. ;)

MF is not a out and back , to me its more twister than out and back

SecondSon:

Wooden coasters are generally divided into 2 types, out & backs and tristers. Actually these designations can also be applied to steel coasters as well. As there names imply twisters twist around a lot in a kind of boulwl of spaghetti pattern. Out and backs run out with a series of hills then turn around and come back with another more or less straight series of hills. Out & backs are often doubled going out and back twice to save space or bent into an L shape to fit the available area.

For a classic out and back try Shivering Timbers. www.coastergallery.com/GA/M10.html

For a twister Roar is an excellent example http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery485.htm?Picture=4

Phoenix is a double out and back http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery143.htm?Picture=2

well, after lookin at thishttp://www.cedarpoint.com/public/inside_park/rides/thrill/millennium/layout.cfm

IMO, MF is an out and back

Millenium force and magnum do not count, the question was "out and back woodie" =)
I was going to post the same thing chiller, but my computer froze after I hit submit reply. Stupid computer.

I HATE SNOW!!! I am boycotting snow, I refuse to have fun in it.

Sfgadv's Nitro and Rolling Thunder is an out & back and some people call the Chiller an out & back and come to think of it, it really does go out and back lol.
CP still has 2 wooden out & backs - blue streak and gemini. MF doesn't seem like an out & back, but magnum definitely is.

just my opinion, but I consider RT in its current state to be more of an "ouch my back!" than an "out and back"...

And Gemini is most definitely a STEEL coaster...wooden supports.

wondering about Rebel Yell at PKD, and its (well-hidden, perhaps hibernating) Grizzly...and PKI has Beastie and Racer/Recar!

rollergator, what about Hurler thats more of an Out & Back than Grizzly at PKD. I would call Grizzly more of a terrain coaster.

I would also include Big Chief's in the category of multiple out & back's. And for some spanish flavor, Port Aventura has Stampida (Triple Racing CCI) and a junior CCI out and back (Tomahawk).
