Hardcore conspiracy theorists are the worst. My favorite part about listening to them though is that they (claim to) know everything. Like when the Malaysian Airlines plane disappeared and after a few hours of speculation the conspiracy theorists had all the details. From who was piloting the...

The comparison is definitely a stretch, but more apt a comparison than comparing him to a convicted killer. What I'm saying is that its outrageous to suggest that his students are better off without him when we don't have any other information about him. The guy made a (ridiculously stupid)...

lol. That's such an outrageous comparison that it doesn't even warrant a counterargument. Seriously? You believe that he was teaching this in the classroom? I went to undergrad with plenty of individuals who went on to become teachers. Most (if not all) of them went out binge drinking on the...

I completely agree with what you said. It was irresponsible on his part and he put multiple lives in danger. However, there is a difference between acknowledging that fact and saying some like "he deserved to die" and that his students are better off that he was tragically killed. It's unfair to...

Geez. Some people on here could really use a lesson in empathy. Sure, the guy did something moronic, but he certainly didn't deserve to die. Every single person on this site has done something moronic that has put themselves and others in danger. Granted, it probably wasn't as idiotic as...

I haven't been on all the types, but this is what I've got: 1. Invert - I haven't really ridden a bad one. Sure, they all give different rides and some are more thrilling than others, but I've liked all of them. They always give intense rides. 2. Hyper - I usually like tall/fast vs. something...

Just curious, and wondering if anyone knows the answer: Why is it okay for a ride at King's Island to be named Banshee, but when Mantis was originally slated to be named Banshee, the name was dropped when the public found out what a Banshee was and what it's wail represents? My best guess is...

I usually go for the back, although this depends on the type of coaster. I've found that I really enjoy B&M inverts regardless of where I sit, so I usually go for the seat with the least amount of wait time, and rides like TTD and Ka, I'll usually wait extra time for the very front car. Any type...

I can't really pick top 10, but I rode Magnum trimless at an ERT event in 2006, and it was the most amazing airtime I've ever experienced. The bunny hills near the end gave so much airtime that it hurt my thighs. I think Toro is second for me, but it isn't even close. Every time I've gone back...

Only been on 3, but: 1) Diamondback - this one really surprised me. I rode it the first time towards the front and was less than impressed. I rode it 3 more times in the very back and it gave a totally different ride. The first drop was really intense in the back and I got a lot of ejector air...

Just got back into riding after a few summers of being too busy to get to any parks: 1) Banshee - shot straight to the top of my list pretty much the second I sat on the train and experienced the new restraints. Good amount of airtime on the drop and the inversions were intense. Loved the...

Drop Towers. Free Fall rides aren't fun anymore...However, I do like the S&S Towers that take you slowly to the top, hold you, then force you down. Those are fun. Anything else, why bother?

Re: The Jer development topic! [Jaaaaaagggg update 6/30/11] Nice. It's good to see a nice wooden coaster. It seems really rare for a woodie to be released on NL anymore.

Togo is a Japanese based manufacturer. It's possible that just out of custom they added the catwalks.

Re: NoLimits Coaster News! (Updated July 3:rd!!!) Not sure what the point of this update was. Seems like time wasted to me. I was hoping there would be an update soon, but for NL2...

Re: Mission to Mars!! (Promo video added on page 5) Amazing. Love the 3D's, but loved the video even more. It's too bad there isn't a setting in NL that allows you to work that type of dialogue into the ride program itself.

Okay this makes sense then. I'm alright with newtonian physics, but when it comes to magnets and electrical fields my knowledge is lacking....I always found myself in line for LIM powered coasters wondering how the hell it worked. Hoping, for just one time, to see Wicked Twister take off in the...

Intamin pre-fab. They have the quality steel coasters. What they majorly lack is a good wooden coaster of this era.

Float On - Modest Mouse

My question has always been how they are able to control the direction in which the train travels when the systems are fired up. For example, on the Intamin Inverted Impulse coasters, what keeps the train from traveling backwards rather than forwards. It would make sense to me that it would be a...
