Not an uncommon opinion at all fella.
Fab little thread here discussing it - https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/best-coaster-one-two-punch.44638/
I think Energylandia has it by a whisker from CP with SV and Maverick and there's a few other contenders.
But I think you could definitely argue...
I'm not writing the ride off, just voicing my frustration that the one theme park operating company who has the ability to deliver a truly world class ride has gone for a record/USP and not utilised the opportunity to it's potential, like they always do.
Still excited for the airtime and...
8 seconds is a long time at speed though. The 8 seconds following Steel Vengeance's brake run involves 3 airtime hills. Following Zadra's amazing twisty turnaround is 8 seconds of double down, twisty section and up into the final inversion.
Zadra is the benchmark for short and punchy. It's...
There's no chance I'm paying that. Mack spinners suffer from "great ride roulette" as I like to call it, and this is on one of the worst Macks around. I'm not paying that kind of money for a chance of a slightly better ride.
Of course there will be people that do, but imagine if there are...
There have been times where I've got out of my way for a ****ty +1. Like the one at Funworld near Boston. I was bored, no plans for the evening and the cred was just over an hour away. No bother.
Or Python's pit in Kansas City.
We were in town for Worlds of Fun and had a spare evening the...
The Big Apple - Aka The Manhattan Express (540)
Just got back from Vegas where I just had to ride the infamous cred on the New York Casino.
It definitely looks the part, and is much taller than I thought, the lift hill and first hill are hidden around the back of the casino.
Unfortunately...
This. Exactly this!
Did a front row ride with Jordan which was really good, amazing launch, great sense of speed and a fun inversion without any rattling.
Then a back row outside seat with Hixee which is one of the worst rides I've ever had on a coaster, the pain, omg 😭
Love it!
I would probably swap Magnum for Skyrush and Raptor for Montu, and El Toro for Blue Streak.
Doing the same with Carowinds would be interesting.
I've been to most large parks in the UK but West Midlands Safari Park still eludes me, driven past it enough times though.
Most noteworthy cred is probably Hornet @ Flambards, or Jellykins.
Stalls generally are upside down airtime, this looks like is more hangtime than anything as it takes the loop slower than expected. But as I said before, this was one of the first runs and it will run faster, so it may well ride like a stall. Won't know until we see some more POVs.
I am very...
During the first inversion I let out a very audible;
Do not like the look of that one bit, too hangy for me. But it was the first POV, I'm sure it will run faster than that in the warm.
The rest of the layout looks bloody brilliant though, I'm on board.
Likely indeed, but good to get confirmation if there is one, depends on what needs doing, if they will be shoring up foundations it could be a long project.
So murky with this kind of thing but I actually tend to agree, if the majority of the ride is replaced in one go then a +1.
Hulk
Lightning Rod
Nemesis
Sure there's a bunch of others too.
It's comparable in the fact that I would much rather go back to Paultons to ride their thrill rides than Flamingoland ;)
Target audience may be different but the coaster ambition of Paultons is clearly higher than FL.
