the borg was a cooler name...and the colors of the track were awesome! (GREEN AND BLACK) made it look all scary :) now the ride is lame..the name is nighthawk and the colors of the track are freaking yellow and blue for christs sake! i cant believe parmount carowinds sold it
damn it i live near there and one time to ride that fuckin thing it ttok me and ma boy to wait in line for 3 fuckin hours of my freakin life i will neva get back and then they go and say not to sit on the hand rails wtf??? i go there wit my season pass
MINE TOO!! I LOVE BLUE!!!!! im like 6'0 so yeah but you know you have more chances of getting in a bike accident than getting hurt on a amusement park ride.....sorry but we have a project in school and i couldnt beleive that!
but the wait was soooo long and especially on a really hot day its very bad cause your standing in the like for like 45 minutes and its really hot.. i blacked out as i got up to the train, i had to sit down for a second while our train came in..
We were in the front on this ride and the guy made the comment it didn't matter where you were sitting because everyone sees the water the same. I wish I knew that wasn't a joke! UGH! That ride is scary!!!!!!
Sorry but I didn't really like this ride. The line wait was WAY too long. And the ride itself took a long time. All my blood rushed to my head before we even took off. Not worth the wait, unless you go on an unbusy day. Afterburn (Top Gun formerly) is still the best ride in the park :D. Can't wait, goin next week and next month!
Oh... Hahahaha!!! Do you know how often sombody gets hurt, and how completely RARE it is that sombody dies on a roller coaster? Esspecial at a Cedar fair park? It really does not happen very often in this day and age. You'll be fine, trust me, I've riden this twice as well as other flying roller coasters. And I'm perfectly all right. :] Go on it, its GREAT fun.
(and isn't the point of a roller coaster to be scared? ;)
this is so fun. i love the loop....i like afterburn more all together but that is the loop of all loops. i dunno why it just rules. people who rode it probably know what im sayin right?
it was on the superman tower of power which is like Drop Zone but taller. actually i trust them MORE now because they tuned and safified(i know its not a word but you get me) all of them more after that.
i went on this ride yesterday...i was so scared getting on it the 1st time...but i had so much fun on it that i rode it again!omg thats the best ride eva!
There's no helix on borg, and they are barrel rolls instead of corkscrews. Other than that, it's identical. Same company, but Firehawk is a newer design.
@yodagongangsta You have to be 54 inches :) I am the same height as you (but youre probably taller now since your comment was from a year ago )
