Any woodie over about 135ft is rough. Any woodie above 155 ft is crap. SOB is not crap, but close to it.

Doesn't the prefab track make it as smooth as a steel coaster? If what I heard is true about prefab track, this woodie could be a definite winner.

My favorite woodies are PTC (Screamn' Eagle, Great American Scream Machine, Blue Streak, and Kiddieland Little Dipper). Other than that, the only other woodie I liked was Georgia Cyclone at SFOG. Viper or Am E don't thrill me.

This may sound strange, but of the woodies at sfgam, cp, and kiddieland (aka, the ones i've ridden) I like Blue Streak the best. Its such a classic coaster in every way. There was no line at all, it looked tame, then I went on it and felt like I was on American Eagle. Its like Eagle without the annoying trim breaks, and less height.

With one of my friends in the theatre we have an "engagement" to be married, and we goof around that the coaster we're going to get married on is blue streak, because then we could sit in the front and my vail wouldn't get stuck because no one would sit behind us even if we didn't rent the ride out.
