slight under rating..

sorry for creating 2 threads for one ride, but I think this rating is a tad low for a few reasons:

ModelMaker's comments:

- A launch out of an moving train is impossible. the train needs to be stopped before there is even a possibility for a launch. Or it has to have an preknown speed, and the speed in this launch may vary! This has to do with the positioning of the train.

Impulse coasters get a boost while moving. And as for the positioning of the train and other factors, thats what the ride computers and sensors are for.

- The helixes are quite extreme. A helix that keeps a 4,5 G for more then 3 seconds can be quite heavy. Even for experienced riders it can cause a total blackout.

The tophat manouvre that you used is way to slow for a coaster. The guideline is to keep the speeds above 30 KPH and the speed on this coaster dropped below the 16 KPH.

Slow speed is to give a 'hanging' feeling at the top. Which is also why the track is banked 90 degree's from the ground. Just because it is a tophat doesn't mean it has to sail over the top.

It is like a top thrill dragster without a tophat.

Uh, it does have one?

Just another intamin coaster with another tophat. The tophat was the only innovative thing I've seen on the ride.

Bit of a contradiction?

goliath nor titan sustain 4-5 g's ion their helix, it's 3. but anyway, the matter has been resolved.
