Pfft it's not a real B&M unless it has the "safety brakes" that slam you to death as a surprise after main.

B&M's not the only one with that feature, ever ridden the Phantom's Revenge? The final brake is like hitting a brick wall :lol:

I honestly think that shorter trains are better for the wing coaster.

If you think that's bad try magnum

Magnum is only bad when it sets up (hard stops)

I agree here. I definitely like the shorter trains, even if it means slightly lower capacity.
It's been a long time
