Ive just come across an interesting discovery that

id like to call the curse of cp. Now, ive just realised that every coaster ever to take a

major record fom cp has been cursed. Think im joking, just look at the info:

-Corkscrew opened on 5/15/1976 with the record for most inversions, which is 3.

On 5/29/76, 2 weeks later, SFGAM opened demon, which had 4 inversions. Many of

you may remember a few years back when demon got stuck upside down for well

over an hour....

-Magnum held the record for tallest and fastest coaster in

89, and was beaten by steel phantom in 91. We all know what happened there, steel

phantom had to be redone 10 years later do to rider complaints of roughness....

-Millennium held the record for tallest and fastest in 2000, and was shortly

beaton by SD2000. SD had an accident last year and according to rcdb is still an

SBNO.

-TTD was tallest and fastest in 03 and will loose it to KK in 05,

will history repeat itself ad will KK face problems like the past coasters to take

records from cp??

Whether you believe this or not its kind of a funny, that

all these coasters to take a record from cp have had problems.

Just

thought id share that with you!

[Pleasureland Fan]

Wow- thats a bit of a co incidence, all those problems

with the coasters!

I seem to remember a ride like Demon getting

stuck upside down as well as Demon- I think it was a Schwartzkoph Shuttlelooper. It

got stuck at the top of the loop. Does anyone else remember or have photos from

BOTH incidents? My memory is hazy and I just wanna verify what incident it was.

YES, go SFGAm. Oh and I remember that day, I was leaving

the park when it happened I believe.

[Antinos]

OMW That is wierd. I hope CP can do another

record with the flyer.

[NitroRyder33]

I hope

KK blows up and melts to the ground

Pure Logic.

That was a typo, it should be

5/29/76, thank you for pointing that out.

This curse is just something funny i

came across and realised, doesnt make it true but it makes you wonder....


When i was at universal pver the summer for a 5 day visit, mummy broke

down very often, which got me thinking aswell, is this mummy or the curse of kong??

Demon didn't open two weeks after. Turn of the

Century (w/ only 2 inversions) opened in 1976, but in 1980, two loops were added and

it was renamed and rethemed as Demon.

[Tyrant]

I call it the "curse of revolutionary designs that

still need some bugs worked out"

No....One dude slipped and fell....

that doesn't mean EVERYONE is falling onto the track every few hours.....

I really do question your inteligence sometimes.....

[Dakanektr]

I thought someone

had a heartattack from being in the loop so long.

[Adam_Deux]

Yeah, and TTD is sinking into the ground. And the

tornado carried Auntie Em's house away.

[Dakanektr]

No seriously, I

heard it on the news, he was 65 yrs old,, and from hanging upside down for too long he

just had a Heart Attack. It might have been the shuttle looper.......

[rob]

i know its a litle off topic but what happened to sd2000 to render it sbno?

[NitroRyder33]

I think i remember hearing that the front wheel fell off...but im not 100% on that..

Yeah I remember I was next in line to get on it. The park was open just for one company that day that bought out the park but I remember almost all of it
