Here is an odd one about again another coaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Hey I know I am addicted to talking about the place but it is a good park!

So this is about the Irn Bru Revolution!

I was curious to know how many copies of this ride there were. So I looked on RCDB and found many. I also found out how much nicer the supports looked on the Revolution to the other copies. So look here at some of them!

This is an ugly one. I mean the loop has the same stuff, but look at the bits which hold up the launches. They are just straight boaring struts!

This looks an interesting one. This is the exception as it is a little more interesing! Look at that 2 rides in 1!

Here is another odd one. It seems to have two tunnels before the loop! Can anyone tell me why they need this netted tunnel?

I really wouldnt say any of them are particularly nice looking, but i do think Irn Bru is the nicest there, but then again, there are more pics of that, the others could look nice in other pics. LOL.

The green and teal one is the best. Why? Best colors, best car paint job, and no OTSR headbanging. (No turns) And its also the only one I have been on. Overall, those arrow shuttles are pretty fun.

Yeah i love the ejector air on those things. I know this has already been posted on another topic but what do you prefer - ejector airtime or 'floating' airtime?

Another thing about this style of coaster. The one with the two netted tunnels is the same one as the green and teal one. The one with the tunnels was at the original Elitch Gardens. (The one with Mr. Twister.) The green and teal on is at SFEG.

I rode Sidewinder @ SFEG (the green one) and it has some powerful airtime. I don't care too much for the ride though. I think Sidewinder is the only one with a 6 car train but I'm not sure... I prefer the look of 4 cars, but 6 cars means more airtime in the front and back seats.

SFEG is also one of the worst parks I've been to.

SFEG sucks. Big time. They only got one ride with an original layout. All the rest are clones. Only 3 of their 6 coasters are full circuit. The food is bad, the water rides have dirty water. The only cool thing that I've ever seen there was the custom car show they had there. Some nice cars.

The third picture is Sidewinder At Six Flags Elicth Gardens, I have been on it a few times, More Like Ten, and this ride is really scary, when it launchs the train, The whole platform shakes, and you have to walk up like one houndred stairs. The Stairs Shake And Ahh!

Here's a picture of the whole ride!

Here is the one Loop, Look at the train, the textures are like a Snake.

And Here Is The Loading Station, Looking Towards The Mind Eraser!

The sidewinder certainly does shake. It's fun standing under the loop becuase the loop is right over the path.
