I haven't signed into CF for ...8 years? Sure I'll go!

This is what Six Flags does to all of their rides. That is why I thought it was a bad idea to retheme Medusa and SRoS. All that new stuff would eventually just be shut off, fall apart, and look like crap. Then, that terrible new paint scheme will fade, badly.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits I can see where the S&S El Loco got its inspiration from.

It is cool, I wish it were more accurate. It also says that Medusa at Discovery Kingdom was the first floorless coaster, they got the wrong park.

What?

Premier has a bad rep because of their history for being unreliable. Not all their coasters are unreliable, but those they were made a big impression. Even when they did get a good coaster out there, something else bad happens. They have rides at hard rock park, but then that park fell apart...

^ That sounds pretty convoluted to me. Thats a design decision, not a leak. If they wanted a leak, theyd probably let out some fake images or documents, like Hershey did. B&M always avoided launches because of reliability issues. While launch reliability isnt the greatest yet, its still a huge...

Heres the official page. http://www.carowinds.com/public/park/ri ... seeker.cfm Theyre putting it right in the middle of the park, so it should give a good view of the park and the city.

I'm excited they're getting one. Carowinds is the only cedar fair park I get to go to. They really are being lazy by adding the same rides in every park, but its not a common ride, so who cares.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits An in-house coaster gone seriously wrong. A few weird things about this one. http://www.rcdb.com/3436.htm That bogey looks like someone made it in their garage. Its also using aviation tires, those are on my Cessna. The whole ride is just strange...

If you want to stick with SFGAdv, Viper had it way worse than Chiller ever did. Ive been able to ride both Chillers, Robin probably 10 times. I only ever managed to get on Viper twice, and those rides were spread out by about 3 years. Not all Premier launches had Chiller's problems, and not all...

I think you rode the wrong one.

Just try for any of the existing inverted coasters in NL honestly. The arrow and vekoma suspended coasters were designed so that the car pretty much would swing directly under the track. Or, try RCT! Its fun making them on there because you dont have to bank the track at all, and you can design...

How many times does it have to be said that the wing rider isnt a 4D?

If it isnt riding on the wheels then theres no load on them, and they might not even be touching the rails (which is one reason why arrow coasters are so rough, the wheels "hunt" until they hit track). Wheel assemblies are designed for the ride requirements. The more strain on the upstops, the...

Re: Leviathan - B&M giga coaster for Canada's Wonderland Id like to see some numbers on that, but I was thinking more along the lines of publicity. CW isnt exactly, cedar fair's pride and joy, cedar point is. Like I said, its just a theory, Im just throwing it out into the open.

Re: Leviathan - B&M giga coaster for Canada's Wonderland Im starting to think that this is more of an experiment. How feasible is it for B&M to build a giga? Can it be done in better quality than previous gigas? What will up front and in service costs be like? How does will it compare to an...

Re: SFMM losing coaster, SFNE gaining said coaster Does such a thing even exist?

Re: SFMM losing coaster, SFNE gaining said coaster For some reason six flags parks think that its a good idea to loose water rides, even though they have some of the longest lines in the park because of the heat. Again, theres no logic!

Isnt this kind of a silly question for this website? I mean, most people here have been on Colossus. Even I have of all people... and it was just as great as I imagined! There I said it. Colossus is awesome, Thorpe fanboys rejoice.
