I fret over Hercules sometimes. I know the ride was coming down the line (I watched a POV...boy, that thing really struggled over some hills) and I know Hydra is a HUGE relief to the ride, but I can't lie. It did look pretty cool.

trust me, you're not missing anything with the black hole- X:/no way out at Thorpe is better than that, and X n.w.o is pretty... 'bad'.

Do not worry. Hercules bumped and pumped so much that I only rode it once. [B)] Good thing I learn from my mistakes. [:D]

Really? You mean, it was so bad that you only rode it once? How about all the people that loved it so much that they rode it many times? I'd rather hear from hundreds than from one. Especially when the hundreds are most likely rough-riders like me...

I really wish I had a chance to ride Drachen fire before it was demolished.

Hercules is probably the worst coaster I've ever been on. My 2 rides were both front row, but despite that it was easily the most painful ride too. It jackhammers so much and so hard that it literally hurt my spine through much of the ride. Add that to a boring layout with turns on which the train slows to a crawl, no airtime, drawn out elements, and a general lack of even decent pacing and you have a really bad ride IMO. The first drop was boring because the trims hold you at a slow speed until (at least what seemed like) 2/3 of the way down the pullover. The only really decent part was the turn over the lake...rough but at least exciting.

Keep in mind, I've also ridden Mean Streak once in the front row, and Texas Giant 4X, 2 front 2 back, and neither was nearly as rough as far as I remember. I thought those two were decently fun rides, nothing real special, but decent, but I can't say the same for Hercules.

Generally I don't mind roughness, I did after all like Drachen Fire when I used to ride it, but IMO if the ride is boring then the roughness is for nothing.

I'd most like to see Chiller back, the cobra roll and rolls were particularly amazing to me, and other features like the tophat and launch were also lots of fun. After that, I'd like to be able to ride Drachen Fire again, but though I liked it, I can live without that. Not sure if I'd fit in the trains or not now though, I know I'm too tall to enjoy normal Arrow trains a lot without being very very uncomfortable the whole time.

Crap, I hate it when I read titles wrong. Didn't see the "didn't" part in the title.

Perilous Plunge is still open, BTW, along with superman the escape.

Rides I wish they didn't SBNO, or demolish
1.) Flashback. I want to ride that thing sooooooo bad.
2.) Psyclone. Reason, I liked the layout, but not the roughness of it, so it's 50:50 with me.
