The drop is forceless, the loop, immelman, and 0g are all slow and forceless. The only good part USED to be the batwing but now it's trimmed to death and is a joke compared to what it could be (see Afterburn at Carowinds, holy crap). The mcbr basically stops the train and the 2nd half is so slow and boring and feel's like a suspended wacky work. Probably the most disappointing ride I've ever been on considering the insane amount of false hype it gets.

Someone rode it on a bad day.

I do agree that recently it's been away from being awesome. The MCBR now trims to hell, the batwing has a trim (but it doesn't do too much I don't think). So the first half is good but the second half is a letdown.

The first half is all extremely lame compared to it's counter-part in Afterburn. And I've ridden it 10+ visits over the last couple of years. I've been on tons of coasters and it is by far the most overrated one PERIOD. I just don't understand. It's right on par with Patriot, etc. when it comes to intensity.

^Then I guess I must've been lucky. When I was there, the trims were hardly on, making the batwing and second loop very powerful. Not Flight Deck powerful, but still very strong.

Yeah, definitely then. It barely even makes it over the 2nd loop now and the following helix and super spread out turn are really slow. I can see how it would be a lot better trimless, but not the amazing ride every claims it is. I still think the first half before the batwing is just way large and not very forceful.

^[lol][lol] Hmm, I must've ridden it last on a really good day. My ride was more like the one hyyyper describes: fast, forceful, and fun.

When I say forceless I am more or less referring to overall lack of intensity.

We really should have split this in 2... I'm really getting tired of waiting...

Wow, we're about to have 3 misses in a row which means 3 days of no activity. This really should have been 2 drafts, where the winner of each go against each other like the superbowl...most votes between the 2 wins.

While I agree with the 2 draft idea like last year, I do think this year's draft is so far much more interesting because of less coasters being available for each person (although some poor picks so far have left some good ones still out there). It's much more important this year to make a good pick than in drafts with less people. Makes it more interesting, although I am disappointed that some many people have missed/dropped out, but the later rounds should go faster now that people are dropping.

Regardless of the size this draft really has been moving along for a while (until we had these 3 misses) Everyone has great picks, and there are still so many great picks still out there.
