Well, I have always wanted to get a look at a coaster that I have missed and all but found out about in the past few weeks. Also, didn't know you were a member here Robb! But great POV!
Why did they take this coaster out anyway?

^ To build Hydra
It never looked to rough, but I guess looks can be decieving.

It looks really fun but if you look on the first turn on the first part of the video you can see the people slamming into each other and the train shuffling. It looks really fun though! I just wish someone other then Dinn had built it and then it might have still been with us today.

ROFL at "HurtYourKnees".
That looked like a cool wooden coaster.

Ah, Hercules. It was once the tallest and fastest wooden coaster. But it was rough. Guess it finally hurt one too many people.
Ah, Son of Beast...

Hercules was a rough ride, but I really miss that swooping turn over the lake.

Damn that was horrible tracking. And it looked light on the airtime.

From the video, Hercules was hunting and seeking way, way, way too much. It looks to me like the rails and slats were not in alignment for almost the entire ride. No wonder it was taken out in favor of a steel.
Btw, welcome back, Robb.
