What a splendid woodie! It's too bad no one now has rebuilt it. This would be right up GCI's street.

I haven't done this in ages, a bit rusty... And the best part about the Bobs, if it were still around, it wouldn't be too tall or scary for Graeme to ride. :P lol

Wild horses couldn't keep me off them! Not that they'd want to.
I have happily ridden and re-ridden 150ft coasters - Millennium Coaster, The Ultimate (although not the latter nowadays, going by Gary's report!) - and I've ridden the Big One. Admittedly, that was a bit too scary (intimidating), but I did ride it and queue up to ride again. Thankfully, the wind stopped me getting a 2nd ride!
But no, the only thing that bothers me about the Intamin woodies is how steep the drops are becoming.

Well, Colossos doesn't look that steep, which I believe it is, just not as extreme as El Toro and T-Express... It was the steepness I meant to say.

Yeah, exactly. El Toro and T-Express I'd be bothered about, because of the steepness (I'd want the front seat), and Son of Beast for the sheer height. I think I'd ride them all though, because woodies are so inviting!

Oh come on now, there's supposed to be some insane standing air in the back on Tex and Toro.
