I think SoB is quite possibly a prime example of a coaster that was built with good intentions, but ultimately built a few years too early in hindsight. The wooden coaster technology available at the time wasn’t really designed for rides of that scale.
Had they built it 10-15 years later, I think RMC could very well have successfully pulled off a 200ft wooden coaster with their Topper Track technology; the likes of Wildfire and Goliath at SFGAm aren’t that far off 200ft anyway, and RMC has a rock-solid reputation as far as quality ride experiences go.
Even if they’d waited a far shorter time period of 5 years or less, until the early to mid-2000s, Intamin would probably have built them a 200ft prefab, and based on the warm reception of the existing models, I think it could have been quite the ride! Colossos at Heide opened in 2001, in fact, so even if SoB had been built a mere year or two later, it could have been far more successful.
