TOGO Shockwave is SO underrated.

I rode it last year at Kings Dominion and loved every moment of it. It has no pain but instead, lots of airtime. The lift was very slow but was not boring. I loved the catwalks on the whole ride and the big helix of death. it was my first Japanese Jetcoaster TOGO coaster credit.

go to japan

It has catwalks? and it's not a jet corster it has a loop.

King Cobra was my favorite stand-up coaster. It's a shame it no longer exists. The "trick track" and air time were awesome.

I rode Shockwave also. It is actually a fun ride! Granted it will hurt.

^^ Was it fun it looks the same.

They are similar in style and elements, however, Shockwave has more of a side by side rectangle layout and King Cobra wrapped around itself in more of a single rectangle

DAMN YOU ALL IT WAS CLOSED WHEN I WENT!!!! I have always wanted to ride a togo stand up... They seem a lot better than B&M besides the smaller layout

I love shockwave. Really not rough at all, not nearly as much as your typical vekoma or arrow, and it was so poorly designed that it had airtime and lats. which is great.

Terrible ride.

Matter of opinion.

That's the best! I hate it when elements are designed to have exactly 0g's through the whole thing or something. That's why CCIs an GGs are the best!

Nothing can be as bad as Mean Streak. I bet Shockwave and SkyRider are a MILLON times better than mean streak.

Did you rode other rides or only Shockwave,cool5?

A rode all other coasters but the taxi jam. Including Intimdator 305.

And your opinion about them?
BTW is there a reason why you write much names wrong?

See tha plants growing on the screwed track?Tags primitive.

That was my favorite element on King Cobra, it is a very Traver-like element.

I can understand that on other coasters, but not a standup

That is why it was my favorite, it was unique and fun, not to mention, unexpected.

I went on Sky Rider at CW back in 2008. It was my first Togo. I was climbing into the restraints, and going up the lift hill, awaiting a world of hurt that can only be synonymous with Hell itself. But, to my surprise, I thought it was awesome. Pretty much no headbanging, except for one moderate punch in the helix, (which didn't happen every time I rode it.) Actually, I loved it.

2010, I went on Shockwave at KD. Pretty much the same situation, but zero headbanging. I thought it was awesome, even if I was waiting forever on the brake run.

I loved King Cobra, that ride was awesome. It had all the great features of Shockwave (intense loop and helix, plus airtime on the hills) plus the trick track and I thought it gave a MUCH smoother ride. I was very crestfallen to see King Cobra go before Shockwave. I find Shockwave to be way too painful.

lats and ejector sounds painful imo on a standup.

Sounds more like an argument between which one sucks less.
