Coincidentally, I believe that was also the year that the gimmicky fad died out too (thankfully).

well, there isn't that much you can do with a stand-up that you can't do with a sit-down. The only really unique stand-up coaster I have been on was "Riddler's Revenge". Stand-ups were a great idea, just started a little too soon.....
The problem isn't that you can't do much with a stand up that can't be done on a sit down.
The problem is that there's alot a sit down can do that a stand up cannot.
Standups are like flyers in that they are much more restricted to the types of elements they can perform.
You really need to buck up with your spellings, kid.
The wheel's axle snapped, causing the right hand side to come loose. The vibrations increased so much the car tipped left, causing the restraints (and the womans head) to scrape along the catwalk next to the train...
