he designed riverside cyclone, rolling thunder, texas cyclone,judge roy scream, ect.

I didn't know he had passed away.

Forget about it. It can't be THAT bad!

I heard he did in 1993.

I don't know about Bill Cobb, but Curtis Summers, the guy that designed the Mean Streak, died, exactly one year after MS opened. Anyone know why?

He was hurt so badly when he found out that Mean Streak was getting trims, he lost the will to live. ;)

when and how?

old age?

He's buried under Judge Roy Scream, I tell you!

That explains the rapid growth of the grass under JRS

Has anyone ever been born on a coaster & passed away on one? :)

Bill Cobb died before Texas Giant was built. In fact Mr. Cobb originally designed TG. When he passed on, Curtis Summers took over Mr. Cobb's inspired design and created the ride that SFoT now has.
