2006 Coaster Draft-Round VOTING BEGINS SOON!!!

I've been on it as well as the similar half pipe at Sarkienniemi, both are very enjoyable rides and indeed they do deliver a unique ride experience.

What brought you out to the worlds worst Six Flags park e-man? My only real complaints about the half pipe is the wheel squeeking and that it could use more rotation.

A trip around the US hitting up as many theme parks as possible over 2 months, thats what. SFEG just happened to be on the way back home whether we wanted to go there or not, so I just stopped there for a few hours.

What would the Phantom's Revenge be without its infamous wooden partner, Kennywood's ravine-diving thunderbolt! [worship]

@ e-man: you've been to S?????????rk?????????nemmi? (sorry, sitting on a french keyboard[lol]) What do you think about Tornado, then? It looks like one awesome ride to me[:)]


Edit: that means I pick the thunderbolt - just to clarify [;)]

Is it just me or does that first drop look about as curvy as a turn?

Coasterkidmwm has until 02-08-06 at 10:00am to pick.

I'll take Tokyo Summerland's Hayabusa suspended coaster.

Which first drop, the one into the ravine right out of the station, or the one after the lift?

The one into the ravine is a straight drop, and the one after the lift banks slightly then goes straight into an underbanked turn.

This one.

Just a stright drop that got banked.

About Tornado at Sarkienniemi, it as an amazing ride, possibly the most underrated ride in the world, the ride just feels so perfect and the layout, though short, is executed flawlessly. It is likely somewhere around one of my top 5 coasters, and like I said earlier it is VERY underrated.

And now as for my pick. I'll take Rock n' Rollercoaster from Disneyland Paris, I figure I might as well secure a solid LIM coaster before they are all gone. [:D]

way to be original i picked the one at Disney World lol

bigboy_1234567 has until 8:23pm 02-08-06 to pick.

So he's supposed to pass up what seems to be a great ride because you decided to pick another version of it before him? Or not.

Well CK, you should feel robbed then, I just got the same pick as you in a later round so hypothetically I was more resourceful. [;)]

Nice spin...very slick. lol I like it.

Ouch; it's even worse then that coolbeans picked it before me... thanks for the opinion.

Well my next round pick gone again... [B)] I've ridden it; I also think it's a better ride than many people say. the ending might be weak, but launch and the beginning rollover is great, and the music of course kicks ass [:D] also, from what I've heard, I prefer the Paris version's theming to the one at Disney World...

I'll take Batwing @ SFA - http://www.rcdb.com/id1089.htm

Same ride expierience as X-Flight, just not as nice of colours.

I hate you man! Nice pick! You just stole my idea. I love Batwing. I got to ride in the front 5 times in a row untill 3 people got into line. Its a great ride experience, expecially for your first ever flying type coaster. Not many flyers out there guys!

Yea, I think it is underated also, although to me, it looks like one of the best, if not the best, inverts of all, which is why I picked it.[:D]

Batwing's a fun ride. I've ridden it a lot, and I always enjoy it. It's getting slightly rough, but the front is still pretty smooth and actually more enjoyable now, even though the back is more forceful. Gotta love the rollover where you can see the loop, then the crazy g's in that loop.

nice pick bigboy, i felt kinda sorry taking xflight from you, glad to know u got the same coaster, just at a different park.

Dcs, your pick man!
