Hershey was supposed to get one called Turbulence years ago, but it was cancelled shortly after the announcement.

It was very similar to the model from S&S, but has slightly different features.

This is the model.

That just look like Anubis : The Ride's layout but with a lift hill instead of a LSM Launch...

Haha. People didn't get it. The US has beyond vertical drops but not vertical dive! I think that implies that it "pauses."

Edit: That's an inversion. [lol]

You can't get steeper than 90*...

And about the SFoG coaster...I'd have waited a year, saved some more money, and gotten something better. These rides just seem slightly low quality to me.

^Yeah I hear Steel Hawg, and Mumbo Jumbo are pretty lack luster, and you dont feel the full effect of the drop.

DC, you look like an Intamin/B&M great rider... Can't you enjoy other more little rides of other more little manufacturers ?

I'm also American, airhead. Go get rejected by some more fat girls.

Sure I can LeFLO...and I know it'll be a fun ride. I don't care who makes it though, I just look for the most exciting and best quality ride, and this just seems decent like most of the other Eurofighters.

If they were to get a mouse type ride, then sure Gerstlauer would be the way to go, with their bobsleds which look to be easily the best of their kind. However, if you want a small/medium sized looping ride with a vertical drop, then I would prefer they do what it takes to go for the most exciting one. Not like they're trying to satisfy a family demographic with this one anyways.

For me the beyond vertical drop on SAW felt a lot more intense than Oblivion's 'vertical' drop so it does count for something

Woah, you're a moderator?

I heard from a NUMBER of sources that Steel Hawg is a GREAT ride. Lackluster was never a word I heard used.

I rode steel hawg. it was meh. The drop didn't really feel like a drop, due to the fact that it was so braked. The best part is the outwards banked turn.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.
