I'm at school in Boston, so hopefully SFNE. If not, probably SFGAm, Indiana Beach, or Holiday World.

Just look at my top ten for evidence that good theming can very much place a ride (and therefore a park) in a higher stratosphere than that same ride in a vacuum. Same goes for parks.

Not a whole lot to rank here... 1. OzIris: Such a fun ride. Smooth, great variety of elements, fun theme, all around just a good experience. 2. Batman: No pun intended, bat**** crazy. So intense. I wish the layout had more variety, but this ride holds up really well. 3. Dragon Challenge...

Due to outside circumstances I didn't get to a park nearly at all last year (hence my disappearance from CF), so I'm well on track to go two whole years without a theme park!

Good thing it's getting retracked. It has a good layout but was thoroughly Just OK when I rode it in 2018.

I mean, with the crazy oligarch money being funnelled into some theme parks in the East, you never know. But outside of that, I consider it highly unlikely, especially since I'm not even sure that S&S offers it anymore now that they have the FreeSpin, which is designed to be scaleable.

I've been on very few, but it's hard for me to see anything ever beating Tower of Terror.

The potential for this ride type is huge, but I honestly think that was Six Flags' thought process here. Call it a record-breaker and make it look cooler than it would if it were a wooden layout. Jersey Devil would be ****ing fantastic as a woodie, btw.

I'll do parks since I'm a laughably ill-travelled enthusiast. In rough order of my ability to get there: USA: 1. Cedar Point 2. SFNE 3. Holiday World 4. Kings Island 5. Dollywood 6. USF/IoA (so many spites) 7. BGT 8. Carowinds 9. Lake Compounce 10. SFMM Abroad: 1. Parc Asterix (for the...

Major updates over the past few years! US: FL - Space Mountain IL - Goliath MO - Outlaw France: Pegase Express UK: No parks visited Canada: No parks visited

That Raptor looks in-****ing-sane and I'm excited that Mack PowerSplashes are coming stateside. The rest is wholly unsurprising and unremarkable, aside from the hilarious Green Lantern relocation.

Braking systems on most modern coasters (MACKs included) are based on permanent magnets, basically like an LSM. You're thinking of LIMs, which are given a magnetic field through pulses of electricity to the metal plates (hence why LSMs can be used as brakes while LIMs cannot). For a comparison...

I was just at the park a few days ago. The ride is so insanely incredible backwards. An actual WTF experience.

Just rode it in the front shortly after writing that. It's better, but not fantastic. It's a ride that requires a strategy to be comfortable. So it's not a comfortable ride.

X-Flight is slowly becoming awful. Awful rattle/jackhammer and the vests suffocate you on the brake run.
