I agree with Gravity that its more like a smooshed cobra roll rather than an upside down one. I do like that setup though. It would be a nice little element.

all these twists and turns remind me of the ride Drachen Fire at BuschGardens. I never did get to ride it but watched it back in the 1900's...... :)
Anyone know why it was closed?

It sorta looks like an elongated batwing to me. Viper at Darien Lake has a regular one.
DrunkinMonkey, I missed you. Where have you been?
I like the twist nearest to the ground in that straight line. That's going to be scary...and fun!

I got promoted at work and I'm putting in a lot more hours now.

Oh, okay. I missed ya! I haven't seen any of your posts on here & I miss the drunk money pic! :-)
Which way do you think it's heading? Do you think the current track is the beginning, middle or end of the ride?

Like many Arrow coasters, it didn't age well. Lack of riders also helped it its demise.
Of these many coasters that aren't running anymore, do they ever tear them down?
I had mentioned that one over in Japan that took the record from MF- which is out of service. Whatever will they do to that coaster? It's such a huge investment....

Actually, I heard from someone in Japan that Steel Dragon 2k is now open again after a loong hiatus. But then again look at the one coasters at SFMM that is always closed? Not X(YES THAT IS A JOKE HAR HAR!), Flashback, that is it. Some just sit a rot. Others get removed.

Hey evryone. I'm Jon and this is my firs time posting...
This ride looks like it will be loads of fun so far, i think it will feature a few unique elements never seen on a coaster before involving much twisting and turning (sidewindin'). Just my opinion. But it will be cool to see how it all turns out after all the speculation.
Can't wait till the announcement!!!
Awe man, I'm trying to remember this one coaster that I saw the pictures of it dismantled. It was named Cobra or something along those lines. (Then again, my memory isn't all that good.) I've just never seen them actually dismantle one or tear one down. It's more like- there one minute. Gone the next.
I saw that one, Flashback, just sitting there and they were discussing it briefly in another thread. It's just taking up room when they can build another ride there & bring more money in.

Welcome, Jon. Tread lightly. There are some feisty people in here. But, not to worry about me; I'm one of the good ones. O:-)

Are you talking about King Cobra, the old Togo stand-up coaster at PKI. It now sits in a field next to SOB.
Yeah, that's it! It has a black track & I think it's B&M! It's in a field. It just looks dead!!

Would anyone like me to Upload what I have constructed so far in No Limits? Im thinking about posting a video to be honest... so give me a few minutes and I'll video cap it and post it up somewhere. Would something like that be New Thread Worthy? Or just slip it into the Mock Up Thread?

I'd do it...make a new thread! There are some worthless other new threads, I've made a few myself, at least this one everyone would see and also entertaining.
