The track crosstie pattern perfectly matches pre-Taron Intamin triangle lattice track. Not Gerstlauer.

^^ Where is that image from Paradox?

It's obviously going to warm up and ride faster. IMO, I think this looks very fast for an early test run.

Temporary construction fencing?

For the capacity nay-sayers

Yes, it's in Japan

The third rail in the middle of the track is for upstop on the first drop

^ I am very confident that it's accurate for currently operating B&M's. I'd love to hear what you think is incorrect though. Which 3 international do you think are missing? The only note I can make - I did not include Vortex (CGA) or Mantis, but I did include Patriot (CGA) and Rougarou (cause th...

hahahahaha Yeah, ok dude.

More like a diving turn-around thing

Have you never ridden a steel coaster before? lol

It looks great! I'd consider tightening up the shape of that loop a bit though. You want it more like Raptor and less like Patriot, if you know what I mean

SPOILER: it's large

Just did some math; the top-hat is around 158 feet tall give or take 8 feet. I expect the main hill will be taller because they'd have to launch it really fast at such a steep ascent angle for a shorter thing to make sense. I'm sticking with my 211-foot first hill guess from before; unless it's lau...

Holy poop! The lift is going to have to be a lot taller than it currently is in order to even clear that element!

Paradox, where did you find this picture?

Take these fun surveys to see how many B&Ms you've ridden in the world, or if you haven't traveled internationally much just North America!

It's pretty fun!

7. Goliath (SFOG)
8. Nitro
9. Wicked Cyclone
10. Goliath (SFGAm)

It is a mega coaster, not a hyper like Shambhala and that's true because of the label on the track when it was at the manufacturing plant. Mega is just a blanket term and has nothing to do with height. It is clearly over 200 ft. How much over is another question. If you compare it to Shambhala ther...

That Intamin coaster could change the world... I still don't think I could trust Vekoma with anything more than a Disney family coaster... Plus, the Intamin just looks better (if not the best ever) Vekoma doesn't make rough rides anymore. Just look at the launch coaster they made for this park. Per...

Currently at 416, check out my list here - I count Water and Alpine coasters.

In all of North America, I'm only missing 8 Intamins (5 of which are crap, and 1 is in Guatamala), 6 B&Ms, 2 RMCs (they were both closed when I visited this year...), 3 Macks, and 5 Premiers.

CA - Twisted Colossus CT - Boulder Dash GA - Goliath FL - SheiKra (Fire Dragon/Montu are close) ID - Tremors IL - Goliath ME - Excalibur MA - Bizarro MO - Outlaw Run NV - El Loco NJ - El Toro NY - Jack Rabbit (Ride of Steel was closed) NC/SC - Intimidator OH - Millennium Force (Maverick very close) ...

My current list: 1) Outlaw Run 2) Medusa 3) Joker 4) Wicked Cyclone ( just barely below Joker) 5) Iron Rattler 6) Twisted Colossus 7) New Texas Giant 8) Goliath That's super intriguing! You and I share very similar opinions! 1. Outlaw Run 2. Steel Medusa 3. Iron Rattler 4. New Texas Giant 5. Twiste...
