    Hotgo Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster & B&M Hyper Coaster | :-(

    I really believe B&M don't care about the hyper/giga distinction. And they are right, the distinction is useless. That kind of design is just how recent B&M hypers look, whatever the height. B&M is now ready to step away from the airtime-only hyper and give us more variety in the elements, if...

    Heide Park Colossos retracking (2019)

    There's always steel on the track. They may go to Intamin, GCI, Gerstlauer or else, the contact surface will be steel anyway.

    Heide Park Colossos retracking (2019)

    Apparently the video hints at some changes and new surprises for Colossos's retrack. I bet they will market the :emoji_poop: out of that as their big exciting new thing. Unrelated note : It is interesting to notice that the park did not rule out the possibility of an RMC wooden retrack...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Sorry, I think we just completely misunderstood each other :). The intensity of the launch doesn't affect in fine the speed of the rest of the layout : when designing a rollercoaster, if you want the train to get to a certain speed using a launch, there is two factors you can play with ...

    Hotgo Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster & B&M Hyper Coaster | :-(

    Thanks ! I don't know how I missed that, I have wanted to see this image for a while now. This looks beyond amazing. Like if B&M wanted to let us know that they won't let Intamin and Mack be the better hypercoaster manufacturers.

    Hotgo Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster & B&M Hyper Coaster | :-(

    Do someone has a picture of this from above ? Is the Hyper's layout triangular instead of a linear out and back ? Also, that twisted hill looks awesome.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Thanks for the "you are wrong because (insert totally unrelated stuff)". We were comparing layouts, especially the first half of it (the part between the two launches). We all know that neither the launches nor the theming are ever going to be comparable with Taron's.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    You made me rewatch the animated POV, I actually don't think it looks any less intense than Taron. The slow launch speed might change than, I reckon, but I wouldn't bet on any side as of now.

    Biggest Theme Park Flops

    *Had. It isn't going to have one any more, at least not at Plopsa (https://rcdb.com/932.htm).

    Roller coaster types that never really took off

    But isn't the floorless coaster just an upgrade of the sit down model, rather than an all new coaster type ? They basically do the exact same stuff, with slightly different trains. Therefore, it is kind of logical that most buyers went with the new and improved model after it was introduced at...

    Energylandia | Hyperion | Intamin Hyper coaster

    The seats in the video are similar to the Taron/RF ones, and the train on the cover pic is indeed a Vekoma suspended train, so I wouldn't worry to much.

    Blue Fire, seriously?

    Except if the launch isn't the point of the coaster. It's nice to keep an open mind

    Toverland | Fenix | B&M Wing Coaster

    I must entirely disagree with you. The phantasialand logo is not subtle. First time I saw it was before I knew how was the inside of the park, and it actually made me worry that the park was going to force feed me with saturated fantasy and tacky magic. Back to Toverland, I like this new logo...

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (so far).

    Man, half of your message (outside the spoiler part) actually contains plot details. I agree the porgs become annoying with repeat viewings though. Top 8 attempt : Empire's Still in Business The Star Wars The Last Jedi The Force Awakens Revenge of the Jedi Return of the Sith The Phantom...

    Toverland | Fenix | B&M Wing Coaster

    The ride isn't built yet and you are already talking about a relocation in a mediterranean park ! xD

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (so far).

    No it is not. Even if I don't think this is the case in Rogue One, there are many things that can make a film interesting, but you don't need all of them to make a good one. The Raid has no dialogue, a very basic plot and zero character development, and it is still a damn interesting movie. You...

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (so far).

    But movies don't need to have characters, or suspence, or anything in particular. A movie can be awesome without any dialogue nor character nor an involved plot. Rogue One has some of the best visuals ever in a movie, and I'm not talking battle scenes, I'm talking about those slow moving ones...

    That's how you make a top 10 out of 9 movies.

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (so far).

    I agree. Although Rogue one is so different I don't really want to rank it angainst the others. I liked it on the first viewing, but the 2nd one really made me love it more. I'd say one subplot did feel more harry potter-ish than star wars, but it is not bad either, just weaker than the rest...
