Im just wondering, Ive seen others just without the dive turns. They dive turns are probably either smooth or really bad. Any opinions from someone whose ridden them?

I haven't ridden them, but it is TOGO... everything they make is painful.

Togo's suck, look at any coaster they've made and it's either lasted only a handful of years, it has sparked lawsuits between Togo and the park, or they've been heavily modified by other companies in an attempt to rescue the ride.

The TOGO I've ridden (Shockwave at KD) was actually very smooth and fun. I've also heard the Ultratwisters are quite good.

That version is Intamin though, not TOGO.

I like how it's painted in this picture: http://rcdb.com/1604.htm?p=21165

It's like they just did what they could reach and then stopped.

Here's the surprise of your life. Well the surprise that doesn't involve your weird ass dreams.


Knee before a technological masterpiece of Intamin.

I have somewhere images from these types of rides on a testarea. The ride actually looks pretty fun to me. Too bad the biggest part of that ride is powered.

Some images I used to found on the internet:

And the same ride in a different park:

I'm hoping to ride one of these types someday, again: They look like a lot of fun.

Yeah, where did you guys get Togo from? It's Intamin (I know it's already been said) and Giovanola is the subcontractor.

I was talking about Togo, not the picture. Actually, the majority of those coasters were Togo, this one happens to be an Intamin.

You might wanna watch this documentary about the Pipeline prototype instead of those 10px images [;)]

Manhattan Express may open your mind just a tad. Not too much though! We wouldn't want you to lose your ability to conform to stereotypes!
