Which do you prefer Twisted Colossus or Wicked Cyclone?

Omg finally a gif of our lord and savior Shrek.

Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

Some of the points being brought up are valid, but some of the arguments made don't really mean anything.
Like Thunderbird holding the worlds tallest wing coaster loop, the record doesnt make the coaster unique, because the couple feet it has on wild eagle don't make it a new experience.
A loop on mantis, feels very much the same as a loop on the riddler, their both awesome, but just because one is slightly taller doesn't make it unique.

Full Throttle has the record for the tallest loop, but thats not what makes the loop unique, its the fact that you nearly stall upside down with only a lapbar holding you.
Both coasters are awesome, but I simply prefer TC becasue I love steep drops, like watching trains dual in a new way, love the length, and I want to do everything agian! As far as pacing goes, its an RMC, so every moment on both coasters will be action packed, significant, and awesome. TC moves left, right, rises, falls, just becasue it doesn't switch from North to South, doesn't mean it will feel like nascar.

Saw some footage of TC showing that the section leading to the 2nd lift hill is now a brake run. Totally cutting the pacing off even more.

where?

I doubled checked the Animation to make sure, and it's no longer banked.

can you post the animation?

It's definitely nice to see scream getting a makeover

Hope it is a makeover, not just a paintjob, it needs a paint job, but it requires a whole makeover

How can it cut pacing when it's heading to a second lift hill? Gravity is going to slow the train down a second later anyway. That is the best place for a block, if that's what it is.

With the banking and the speed, at least the train would have made it halfway up the hill before "stopping."

^ And it won't now because...?

^ because of the block.

that really depends on how six flags decides to operate the blocking

Guarenteed slow down.
At least at Great Adventure, if the ride has a MCBR, it is getting slowed down at it.

[Metazoanhaddock]

yeah, but they dont use scream's brakes on the MCBR half the time, at least not while ive been there. so it could really go either way

Weird. It's always on for Bizarro.
Same exact ride so it shouldn't different. I mean, it's not like the brake slows it down a ton, just enough to notice it.
In fact, most B&M's are like this.

bizarro isnt a neglected parking lot coaster

Not a parking lot coaster, but it is neglected. It's in the back and there is never a line for it

^I see that happening kind of like kracken at seaworld its gets no line anymore unlike manta at seaworld but bucsh gardens is the complete oppisite

Unless they are now going to extend the chain all the way down the lift, the train will still need enough speed to shoot up the lift hill. There still still to many unknowns to start making assumptions imo.

...sums up six flags giving a poor number of details for a signature ride for their best park.

[Metazoanhaddock]

pretty much

True. We don't even know if this supposed "block brake" is even really a thing or not. Although it would make sense given that straight track. We also don't know if this is a last minute design change, or always meant to be. Which would mean the animation was not 100 percent accurate (as they never really are).
