Dude, those are some of the smoothest rides in the park. I suggest you ride them again

OK, all the ride in PCW suck and are unsmooth. tomb raider sucks ass, top gun sucks ass, skyrider sucks ass, dragon fyre hurts so bad you could die, vortex is ok, if you know how to ride it, the only smooth coasters are the wooden ones(oh no)

go to cedar point if you want real rides, its people like you that keep the park getting crap coasters.(im in a pissy mood)

besides, they should get a intamin mega for the big pool of water beside mine buster.

(by the way, top gun is the most roughest)

K first of all, none of the coasters there suck, except tomb raider. And I really think that all of you where sheltered or something because the only rough one that i found was wild beast, I found top gun to be very smooth, along with dragonfire, and all the others int he park.

I have to disagree with you.
tomb raider sucks ass, top gun sucks ass, skyrider sucks ass, dragon fyre hurts so bad you could die, vortex is ok, if you know how to ride it, the only smooth coasters are the wooden ones(oh no)

Are you someone who doesnt have any control of your body? Top Gun is an ok slc, it doesnt beat you up as bad as some others.
Dragon Fire wont kill you, if you hold your head still on the corkscrew you barelly get bumped.
Skyrider is an awesome ride, and one of the last standing Togo standups.
Wild Beast is someone smooth, and minebuster is love rough.

go to cedar point if you want real rides, its people like you that keep the park getting crap coasters.(im in a pissy mood)

Cedar Point is a bigger park, so of course they will have some better rides.



(by the way, top gun is the most roughest)


ahahaha, I laugh at you because you obviously dont know how to keep control of your body.

Don't ask me because I haven't been on any of those rides. I've only been on CP's rides.

Bigger parks have better rides? Since when? Knoebels is a small park, it has some of the best rides in the world. The coasters at CP don't even compare to them IMO.

I meant bigger not only as in land size, but also who owns the park and how much money is being put into the park.
Cedar Fare PArks get alot more money put into them than any Viacom owned park does.

i trying to make a point, PCW's rides could be alot bigger and better, like carowinds or great america, they have good rides.

or at least PCW could have gotten bigger rides. the flat rides are good though.

did you know that wilde beaste and mine buster are the same models as coney island coasters, so they can be rough(at night!)


and this hole bullshit aboot "you have to keep control of your body" poop is ridiculous, you should not have to keep control of your body, the coaster should do it for you, and im lazy so of course im not gunna want to stiffin up.

Yes, MCMB is based on the Coney Island Shooting Star, and Wild Beast is based on the Coney Island Wildcat, but they were both designed to be much tamer and less wild versions of the originals.

It tells you on the signs before you get inline that you need to be able to keep proper control of your body to ride safe, maybe you shouldnt be riding them if you just let yourself flop around?

ohh and by the way, id think movie parks would have more money then six flags or what not, but whatever

Paramount does have more money than six flags...alot more ahah.
But that doesnt mean Viacom is going to flush all their money out to buy new rides.
Six Flags did exactly that and look where they are now. They are so deep in the hole that they are selling parks, and they wont even open superman the escape anymore.

see, PCW is cheap

No, the coney island coasters really were rough and quite often injured people.

They didn't injure people because of roughness, mostly all coasters that injured people around that time period were because of the insane forces. Wild Beast and MCMB dont have near the airtime and lateral forces that the coasters at Coney Island had.

the forces are part of the roughness of a ride if it is jerky. Ive read lots of stories and news clippies from my library of people getting hurt by getting thrown around.

A ride can be very rough and not have much force. The Coney Island Wildcat and Thunderbolt both had a lot of force in the track design, not the roughness.

Well Wild Beast has some of its rough spots but MCMB is just plain rough! I mean with the edited part and the construction around it (for splashworks at anytime) it's eventually gonna be pure brutal beatings for the whole ride.
