    Yes, you are correct. This is because Faraday's law of induction. TL;DR the faster something conductive (the fins on the train) move trough a magnetic field (general magnets, launches, brakes) the faster it will be decelerated. This is also why the brakes on launch coasters are extremely...

    I was taking the train just now and we went past Powerpark. Can confirm that this "Pitts special" or whatever its name is is running with passengers. Props to Powerpark for the single-worst opening of a new coaster- an instagram update[emoji849] Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Sign me up for the Finland trip! With me living here, I haven't visited either Särkänniemi nor Powerpark in some time. This might be it! Also, Liseberg just for us enthusiasts? Sign. Me. Up!

    It was mostly just mumbo jumbo about that the following decade will be epic and filled with thrills, but that the site would be updated regularly with new information. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    I really wanna thank Mr. Schilke for being one of the first to push coasters to their extreme with all the RMC coasters. Taiga is completely insane as us and Pantheon looks even more insane. I really can't wait for this coaster to open! Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    If they would implement a Takabisha-style midcourse, they would still have a problem. The old Junker already has a MCBR. I think they would most likely in this case just have it turned off/use it as trims if necessary. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Perhaps it's like on Takabisha or TMNT Shellraiser? Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    This. They can also advertise it heavily as Finlands longest and possibly tallest with this. The gp will eat it up, and saying "Junker just got eeeven crazier" will drive the locals nuts. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    I would also hit up Kolmården in between Liseberg and Gröna Lund to get that RMC cred +2 kiddie creds Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Would it be possible to rename this thread to match all the others with Park/coaster/model instead of coaster/park/model? My ocd is hurting Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    I totally agree. A fan-made POV is still that, fan-made (even if it is epic). Perhaps some of those overbanks will be SteVe-style top hats.

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    Awesome! I'm just wondering how many banked turns that layout has. Really gives you food for thought if RMC is making a TURN towards more speed-heavy coasters (as seen by Zadra). Still, an awesome layout despite my concerns over the lack of traditional airtime-hills.

    What makes the Mack E-Motion Coaster different from a regular wild mouse coaster?

    As someone whose homepark is Linnanmäki, let me tell ya something: Tulireki sucks. Yeah, the wild mouse type turns are just that: wild mouse-style turns with high laterals. As stated above, you need to have a bad layout to get the springs to work. The first large drop is a prime example of...

    About the restraints: I am certain that they will be the new otsr lap-bars, as seen on Taron and Duelling Dragons. Taiga uses them aswell, and during the media event Tobias from Intamin indirectly stated that those lap-bars are the new standard. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Apple Watches on Roller Coasters?

    Not an apple watch, but I have never had any issues with my regular quartz watch. Just make sure it is secured to your wrist, so that it doesn't move and potentially cause a distraction. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    I rode the old version, before the retracking somewhere in the middle. I thought that was okay, but I can imagine the back row being quite forceful.

    I feel the same way. I got to ride Wildfire a month ago. Sure, my mind was blown away the first ride, but after like ride #7 it kinda grew tame. Yes, the coaster is amazing and I understand the RMC hype, but I can't wrap my head around all the praise every coaster they build gets. Sent from my...
