It's just the essence of wooden roller coaster structure, I mean. I'm talking in a general perspective, not only Voyage. The whole shebang.

Italian trash.

At least they've recently made a 4 door sedan so the entire family can benefit from Dad's really small penis.

The (as Top Gear calls it) Koeniggesseggigggigggmennsigggiggggg looks fine and is not Italian (I hope).

Bugatti Veyron work well since it's actually a Volkswagon and Volkswagon knows they could never market their own sports car so they went with someone they bought out.

The Veyron may well be a Volkswagon but still one sexy car.

Would somebody explain what "out of control" means. I know what effortless gliding means.

It's Swedish.


1. Started in France (when Germany had control of the area) by a German with an Italian name.

2. Company failed, bought out, moved to Italy.

3. Company failure again (not sure about that), bought out by Volkswagen Auto Group

4. Veyron designed after acquisition by Volkswagen.

The factory is in goddamned France if I remember right.

On the nationality for it (on Forza and elsewhere) it says it's Swedish. Top Gear says it's Swedish.

And what gives? It's just the nation that it came from! Who cares (besides you obviously)!

^Nope, you can't narrow it down to one manufacturer. GG did a pretty good job with it on Hades underground. Renegade is pretty cool as well. To me, an out of control woodie has so many directional changes and banking transitions in a small amount of time; immense increases of speed; tunnels; airtime with one-setting lap bars; intense lateral g's. A lot of woodies for that matter... anything that generally gives you the feeling that something is sure to go out of control or wrong with maintenance lol.

I felt like a lot of the low-to-the-ground sections of Thunderhead were out of control and disorientating. Thunderbolt at Kennywood had that effect too.
Oh, were you expecting something here?

Agreed. look at B&M for example, their first ride, Iron Wolf, is pretty out of control, along with Batman: The Ride 2 years later. I can't say much about some of their more recent coasters...

Yeah. early B&M's were good. Their new ones sucked. Gerstl, GCI's have quick directional changes but they don't feel out of control at all. And The only coasters that I have been on that feel out of control are CCI's, Primarily Boulder Dash.

And on a side, not the batman clones are already epic. Last night, though, I go to ride one with fog and bright lights shining in your eyes. It was great.

You were at west coast bash too? What do you look like. I may have ran into you (your avatar is not big enough)

Also, did you get to ride Superman? I was on the last train to go for the Night's ERT. Man, coming down at 100 MPH with rain hitting your face feels like glass [xx(].

Is Vortex at California's Great America good too like Iron Wolf? I will be riding it this summer and I have kept being told that it is boring.

I don't think it looks anything on the level of comparable to Iron Wolf. IW is just tight and full of swerves, that tight loop and corkscrew make for help too. It was actually the first roller coaster I went on at SFGAm and I was kind of disappointed because it was the one by the first set of lockers I was able to figure out, lol, turns out it was magnificent.

Vortex looks like a toned-down version of Iron Wolf....

Actually, Six Flags Great America looks better than California's Great America in almost every possible way.

We have American Eagle, you have that Grizzly crap [:D]
Our demon has more theming intact, we still got both flumes, and oh yeah, WE STILL HAVE OUR WHIZZER!!! YEAH!!!! [lol]
and then there's Raging Bull, Viper, V2, a WAY better waterpark....

The only thing I would trade is Superman: Ultimate Flight (piece of poop) and Dark Knight for Top Gun/Flight deck.

Thanks for spoiling it for me.


I am excited about Top Gun though. And the drop tower.

SFDK is where I am going to have the best time though, with V2 [:D]
