Thats the irony. Steel Eel has shaping identical to Steel Force, only on a smaller scale, so if you like steel eel, then you'd have to enjoy steel force hypothetically. And, Dcs, to each their own, I have ridden Steel Force and experienced airtime on every hill, if you experienced differently so be it.

Steel Eel does look to have different shaping on it's hills...they look more parabolic than Steel Force. Shaping on the first drop still looks terrible on that ride though.

It looks better onride than it does offride, but the curve at the bottom is awesome.

The shaping of the first drop is the EXACT same with the exception of the curve at the bottom, and the camelback hills are shaped the same as Steel Force...Now can we please get on with round 7 of the draft? [dorkhat]

Yes, I did say that the shaping of the first drop is almost the same, and I don't like either. However, you're wrong in saying that the shaping on the camelbacks are the same. Many of Steel Eel's hills are obviously much steeper, with a tighter pullover at the top. The tops of Steel Eel's hills are shaped more like a B&M hyper than Morgans like Steel Force or Mamba. Steel Force's hills are way too drawn out for their speed. They also don't have the long straight sections that you can find on SF's first drop, second hill, third hill, and most (if not all) bunny hops.

To each their own, I'm done trying to convince you ofthe obvious, lets just let this drop and each think what we want to think because clearly neither of us are going to change our minds.

That's fine...I never said you're wrong in liking Steel Force more than me. I was simply stating facts about shaping, and also giving my opinion as you gave yours.

But...Convince *me* of the obvious? HAHAHA [:D] Whether it's drawing from references, or recreating coasters in NL, I know what I'm doing when it comes to precisely recreating shapes and minute details. If you don't believe me I can show you some examples.

Can we get a list of what rides have been picked? I don't even remember half of my own, as sad as that sounds.

Well, copying and pasting from Word to here doesn't work really smoothly. Up above is a link with the Word document itself. That tells you all you need to know. If you're not comfortable downloading it, IM me.
