Green Lantern construction

[rcmaniac25]

Need to go down there again. This is looking good... and I want to see the reaction of my family members when they realize there aren't any real seats on the ride.

R.I.P GASM Hello Green Lantern

and f this. i was building a standup and it had the same colors as this.

Except that your stand up is in a video game and this one is in real life... Either that or six flags is trying to compete with your imaginary roller coaster.

It isn't. Chang is:
*Taller
*Turns less before the drop
*Less snappy transitions
*Totally different ending
*Inclined loop entrance and exit are different
*There are more I'm not thinking of

i mean they all have the same general idea, with florrless coasters its "drop, loop, dive loop, zero G, cobra roll or roll over, MCBR, 2 inversions, normally corkscrews". I mean, yeah they are all different, but they are so much more alike then say, Mack coasters, or Gerstlauers, or Pax coasters.

its not exactly mantis in a mirror im just saying the elements are extremely similar.

Mantis looks cool, but I was really bored with it. That and I don't like standing on roller coasters. For some reason it takes something away more than it adds anything, in MY opinion.

^^Yeah, agreed. I think B&M follows the "if it's not broke, don't fix it" motto when designing. And if one layout works well for a park, then they can clone it with a few changes for another park with a similar plot space. I'm waiting to see what this X-Raptor Prototype is gonna be like.

they seem to be going pretty fast even with all the snow were getting here in NJ!

Crews hard at work erecting the GREEN LANTERN.

He must be gay if its that hard. Pun intended.

Sick!
im taking physics next year so I will be able to ride this bad boy ;)

I hope you don't mind my inquiry: what on earth does your class schedule have to do with your ability to ride this??

^probably an annual school field trip . . .

I actually love the colours. I liked the colours of Riddler's Revenge, but this green is much nicer, especially with the black supports and catwalks.

Agreed

And seriously love. There goes the last huge awesome corkscrew coaster for this? I mean Viper SFMM yeah I suppose but that doesn't look as cool as GASM and Shockwave did...

^Vortex is very fun as well.

Sort of totally forgot about Vortex. Does look pretty fun, those drops on GASM and SW looked awesome though.. Steel Phantom would've been awesome too.

lift done!

B&M next to B&M[^]

lol, I think that looks really ugly. Too much coaster track superimposed if you ask me. It's certainly striking though.
