... no, they want to save money.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

That drops looks painful. Look at how short the transition is between the negative and positive gs.

Probably because its cheaper, cheap / easy maintenance, and quieter.

Big Boom goes your bollocks at the bottom of that drop. [lol]
Drop, camelback, loop, hill, turn, drop back to station. This ride is somewhat simple, WAY IT FXCKING SHOULD BE. Give me this over Voyage anyday.
