I'm still under 100 coasters barely and after Ocboulderfest I have none of the Great woodies left to experience in North America. I kind of wish I didn't seek out all the best rides first. But it's hard to deny the best woodies.
Understood. I guess I assumed you'd ridden more of the top woodies with what you were saying. You have plenty of good ones to look forward to. You may like some more than the "top" rides you've already ridden.
It's expensive for a wooden coaster, has above average downtime for a wooden coaster and is a guest relations nightmare for customers not fitting. Mostly I think it's the money. Dick Kinzel once said they'd never build one if I recall.
Martin's Comet is a truly great ride though. Hope you get to ride it again under more favorable conditions. It's loaded with airtime and rivals Ravine Flyer 2 for best woodie in that general area./quote]Comet was running really good last week. We got to the park around 7 and got in about 4 laps before they closed @ 8:30 The flume has a basic layout but was a complete soaker. The spinning mouse, not so much. Hit the release and spun once the whole cycle.

Every time I visit the park, El Toro breaks down at least once, while I'm in line or within view of it, for a decent amount of time. It may be more reliable now by Intamin standards and steel coaster standards, but as far as conventional wooden coasters go (they don't break down much), I still say it has above average downtime for a wooden coaster.
