The Spanish one at Warner is hugely popular. It may be because the people there haven't been exposed to anything better, but still I've heard lots of people say it's the damnedest thing how it's so popular.

The one at Terra Mitica love sucked. Had about a moment of airtime then the rest was just 'eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh.' Double down in the back throttled my knees with the shaking and the ending helix actually hurt as it was way too over banked.
RCCA suckz.

Thanks for the input [stoning]

I would say...Well, if its a "YOU MUST PICK ONE!" Id go with whichever manufacturer has the least rides running. Seriously, Vekoma are not bad rides. Their earlier stuff wasnt great but its mostly because parks were ok with them as they were.

Have you ridden on any newer Vekomas? Everest? Motorbikes? New stuff is smooth as silk. It just took awhile before the demand for something higher quality hit. Apparently they were making a killing off selling hundreds of boomerangs. Youd do the same thing. Its a good business model apparently.


But if I could, I would take certain ones and make them do a huge upgrade of their math and computer programs so their stuff could be more complex and dynamic.

Six Flags? I thought we were talking about companies that make the coasters, like B&M and vekoma and Intamin and all them.

All they have made are 8 Blizzard coasters and a shitty custom one with an inclined loop FAIL.

They can go bye-bye.

I agree with the Six Flags comment. Arrow built a lot of their more famous coasters and they all went to poop. Some people blame the manufacturer, I blame the parks, with the exception of X(2) of course. Case and point, the mega-loopers. BG has a custom looping coaster over 30 years old that, considering its age, runs pretty smooth, Viper, however, became painful after only a few years.
