Re: Indiana Beach closing for good

The craziest development ever. This is the old Drier Looping / Magnum Force / Quimera which of course had a .... bad ending in Mexico City. Surprised someone was willing to put the necessary work in to it...it apparently was quite neglected by La Feria structurally.

Re: New Intamin Concepts:

Maybe its just me.................reminds me of looking at T2 trains at KK during an offeseason event and a budday said to me "Vekoma basically used the Copy & Paste method and ripped off Arrow designs"............think this can apply here They didn't rip off Arrow, they licensed it. ...

Re: Junker at Power Park Amusement Park For 2015

I don't think speed helps. It's just a shite layout.

Re: Dorney Park 2021(?): Shuttle Wood Coaster?

Looks like a scaled up version of the ZDT Switchback, but with the first turn 180 degrees rather than 90, and the pre-spike turn going the other way.

Re: Fuji-Q Highland to recieve a new coaster in 2022

It blows my mind that Dodonpa is almost 20 years old, and Fujiyama is only a few years older.

Re: SeaWorld San Antonio 2020 - Texas Stingray: GCI Woodie

Looks dull as poop to me. Like Wildcat / Roar but somehow even rampier.

Why do you think the height requirement will be less than 48"?

Re: SeaWorld San Antonio 2020 - Texas Stingray: GCI Woodie

Snooze. Reminds me a lot of the early GCIs like Wildcat and Roar - swoopy and rampy and not very forceful.

Re: Project 2020 and General Park Updates - Kings Island

It's like the Carowinds situations. It just seems so.....redundant.

If you're going to have 2 B&M Hypers in one park, the layouts should be....different.

Re: SeaWorld San Antonio 2020 - Wooden Coaster

I'm guessing GCI. Looks similar to a lot of what they've been building in China for the last decade or so.

Re: Highest negative vertical G force and lateral G force

Whatever the number for coasters is for negatives, it won't compare to coming around the bottom of a Zipper upside down.

Re: SFGAdv 2018 - Cyborg Cyber Spin: Tourbillon Ride

Over/under on how this lasts?

I'm saying 3 years.

SF and complex rides do not mix.

Re: Python at Efteling to be Retracked for 2018!

It's probably much stronger than the old design.

Generally speaking, a circle is the strongest shape there is, and any sort of strong angle is bad for fatigue.

Re: Weird New Track at S&S Plant!

Doubt there'd be a new Steeplechase style ride built. My guess is this is replacement track for either Knotts or Blackpool.

Re: Realistic model roller coaster

There is no such thing as a realistic model because friction and gravity don't scale.

Re: SFGAdv 2018 - Cyborg Cyber Spin: Tourbillon Ride

I suspect this will be much better to watch than to ride. Constant(ish) speed flipping just isn't that exciting. Reminds me of the old Zamperla Mixer/Rotoshake rides.

Re: SFOG 2018 - Twisted Cyclone: RMC Georgia Cyclone

Should have just topper tracked it. Original design was perfection (when well maintained). This is shite. Worst RMC design by far.

Re: Happy Valley Chongqing - GCI POV

Looks really good except the last turn-around. Don't know why they made that so rampy when it could have easily had, say, a double up in and a double down out.

Re: What is the worst roller coaster you have ever ridden?

While the 2nd... 2/3rds of the ride was crap, I actually loved the opening sequence on Shockwave.

Good first drop > loop > into floater air and then diving while banking practically on your side.


Shame they didn't build it as a sitdown.

Wish they would make it use the terrain right behind it, such a missed opportunity for a ride so close to it.


That's so that when they realize that installing a 400pph ride at a major themer was dumb, so they can move it to like, Frontier City or something.
