The reports of my death are premature I still live and wasn't replaced by an inferior ride called powder keg.

Powder Keg is a weak launch ride. The trains can't even finish the run without using the lift from Buzzsaw Falls and the final drop from it as well. I wanna add a burned out launch building and busted tracks around my ride with a train in the water. They need to get that Buzzsaw Falls train off the roof of Powder Keg and put it back on the track where it belongs.

I have to disagree with you on this one. Powder Keg's launch rocks and flying (and I do mean flying with some wicked -G's) over that hill to suddenly see that valley below is one of the most perfect stretches of track anywhere. IMHO Powder Keg's weak spots are where it uses BF's track as it loses all of it's intensity and excitement there.bradhig wrote:Powder Keg is a weak launch ride.

It had low ridership, most people who rode it didn't know it was also a coaster so were surprised to find that and it being a prototype had a ton of maintenance issues.bradhig wrote:Yes. I like the Buzzsaw spinning above the boats. Why did they rip up that ride in the first place what was sooo wrong with it that let to its demise?
Have Fun

It sounds like the big trouble what Knott's Berry Farm had got on the Togo looper. The ride was called the Windjammer Surf Racers and they were the dueling coaster with a vertical loop. It got closed down in only around a couple of years because of too many breakdowns as Buzzsaw. :( Plus it's also got a low riderships.
