i dont understand people. I honestly think this ride wasn;t that rough at all, i've sat in every seat. Anyone rode grizzly, thats rough IMO.

For the ride being dismatled, it just had to low capacity IMO, they had a double station, they never used it.. they never used all the trains.. and the ride was short, and possibly dominator will go somwhere near?

Too slow i guess [lol].
Capacity was pretty lame and your right wasn't used till its full potential. Wayyy to short, bring on Nurenburg i say. Anything below 130mph seems pretty pointless nowadays anyway.[lol].

It looked like fun. Oh well, what can you do? Chiller and XLC gone, it's not a great year for launch coasters so far.

That was one of the reasons I wanted to get over there and check that park out. Sure it looks like a short ride but it had quite an acceleration to it I hear.

That's a huge shame in my opinion. Alot the coasters at PKD seemed to push the envelope in their own way. It wont be the same without XLC, hopefully nurburgring will fill that gap in the industry.

It was rough when I went on it... The first time, in the morning, it wasn't that bad. When we rode it that evening we rode front seat and it was the worst coaster I have ever been on. We left because my girl friends head was throbbing.

What are you talking about? That ride was incredibly smooth when I rode it! However, I might not have been paying the best attention, because at the time I had to go to the bathroom very badly. The 'maximum security' restraints didn't help either.

But yeah, it's sad that it had to go. That launch was incredible.

Ok, on your keyboard, look at the button to the left of the 'A' key. Now put you finger over it, press it as hard as you can, and please don't type in all caps again.

[lol][lol] at Halo and Tie, just [lol][lol].

On point, this ride was kinda 'bleh' IMO. After waiting for 2 hours to ride I was like, LETS GO ALREADY! But yeah, it's always sad to see a ride go by the way side, especially one that actually had a good launch.

Some pics I took a few years ago.

Superly angered to the macxxx


Umm ok wow thats just...... wow. And i thought i was a n00b.
But serously that did look like a decent(sp?) ride. Of course the demolition of any coaster (except a boomerang or slc) is sad but it just kinda sucks.

Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.
