    Roughest B&M?

    That I've ridden, Green Lantern. I know it usually goes to Mantis/Rougarou but I never find either sooo bad. I should say, in 2017 my ride on Hulk was brutal. Every inversion sans the loop, every turn, bashed me. Had a pounding headache! But then 2018 it was perfectly fine. Some said the...

    Biggest Disappointment...

    Those restraints were awful. It really is mind boggling yeah, why not just stay with the classic restraint? And Im not one to usually gripe about such a thing, but this case it deff held back the ride. As for B&M Hypers….it seems they hit a lull in the middle. Older ones were good, Nitro was...

    Biggest Disappointment...

    OOF. Just awful. I can hear the sound in my head right now. Well, least I can keep expectations low...so it can only go up and at the least hopefully I wont have to add it to my most disappointed list ha

    Biggest Disappointment...

    Yeah Diamondback was shockingly mild, I did keep my expectations low too and still they were not met... and shame about Intimidator. Hope it will be less trimmed when I go, but not holding much hope. It's a damn shame these B&M hypers often are so trimmed. Was it at least the magnet kind...

    Kentucky Kingdom | Kentucky Flyer | Gravity Group Family Wooden

    I know its a family coaster and that was the goal, but looks really fun. Decent speed over the hills (not fast yeah but not big either, all enthusiasts know all is relative) and a reverse POV looked like it had a lot of pops of airtime, some of it decent. For a park with 2 A+ extreme coasters...

    American Dream | New Jersey USA | Mega Mall/Nickelodeon Theme Park

    lol taking the record by half a degree. Not even a full one at least, what a smack to the face! That said, I would like to experience the worlds steepest coaster by half a degree, Takabisha looked kind of fun anyway. Im not banking on a July opening, so maybe next year

    American Dream | New Jersey USA | Mega Mall/Nickelodeon Theme Park

    Is it true this will have a Takabisha clone, but even steeper? If so...when is this opening? I will deff time my NJ trip to catch it. Also after over a decade glad they are doing something with the ugly monstrosity lol It was such an eyesore at Giants games, and every year we joked how...

    Biggest Disappointment...

    Ravine Flyer II Was always so highly regarded, considered a top 10 (sometimes higher), and POVs did look great. This one may just have the unfortunate and cant be helped issue of age, but when I finally got on it which was 2017, it sucked. It was so rough that even in front, I was left with a...

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    Much better POV indeed. Yup, I like the looks of it. Its not gunna be a top tier ride or anything but looks good, and a park finally learned (shame it took what 20 years) these dive coasters shouldnt run right into the MCBR and kill all the speed. Its prob not a forceful ride but least it does...

    Best park in Florida

    Busch Gardens. Was never and still am not really a Disney Person. Sorry. Aint a knock or anything but not for me. Universal is good, (IOA > Studios) but Busch takes the cake for me. Only knock is I wish it had more rides, but that's obviously being worked on. I have not been to Sea World in a...

    Have you had a surgery in your life?

    Surgery? No. Least not how I think of it. Procedure? Yes. Had a lodged kidney stone, was as fun as you can imagine. It was unable to be broken up, and meds/fluids were unable to get it moving. So they had to go in and laser it to bits. There is one tube that gets to your Kidney. Shall leave it...

    Rank the B&M Wing Coasters

    Only been on two. Gatekeeper and Thunderbird. Tough choice, I feel like Thunderbird is a better actual ride, like more consistent and better actual layout, but (in the back) I enjoyed Gatekeeper more. I found it had more pull/force than Thunderbird. Though front was crap, and I had some rides...

    What are some of the best hangtime coasters?

    Its funny, at first I didnt care for it. Volcano deff comes to mind, and I guess Hydra too. But now I enjoy it. Guess it also could depend on the restraint.

    Have you ever considered relocating to be nearer favourite parks?

    I will say, I am currently in the very early stages of looking into moving, and really anywhere is up for grabs but I would like greatly to go (back) to the Northeast, the DC area, or ideally California. This would be for opportunity, love of the area, etc etc parks will not factor in it. That...

    Six Flags Great America | Maxx Force | S&S Air Launch

    Does look like an intense forceful ride, and the launch will be nuts (its basically the same as Hypersonic right? That was one of the most intense things I've experienced) but god so short, and I thought there'd be ejector air at that speed but yeah that isnt even a speed bump, its like a slight...

    What are some of the best hangtime coasters?

    Oh yeah is that the one where it looked you were gunna stall in every inversion and high turnaround? Do imagine it'd be tough to beat that As others have said, Full Throttle has some good hang. I actually got a roll back on it!

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    Oof, rough news. Solidifies my belief that early June is not happening and I will plan accordingly. Im thinking of shifting to SFoG on my way back (helluva lot closer to Tallahassee too, rather than flying in from Pitt which still will need a layover), and when I go to Dollywood later in the...

    Have you ever considered relocating to be nearer favourite parks?

    Nah. In fact I moved from an area with many great parks within 4 hours to a place where theres none at all within 4 hours! At most it'd be a perk. Like if conditions were right and I felt it best, thats what matters. BUT if it happens to be near Cedar Point, well that'd be awesome but no I'd...
