    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    I still think people are overhyping Orion, I've seen people say it's better than Fury 325 and... SteVe... I did not ride Orion yet but my good friend was at the park today. They said Orion is good, but prefer Levi over it. They didn't get any airtime on the banked turn, small floater on the turn...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    Looking at the test runs, it is running faster than I expected. I noticed the same thing with Leviathan in 2012, until they switched the wheels and activated one of the two trims. I still think Leviathan will be better (the first four elements + drop look much better) BUT! the make or break...

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

    I still question how WMG cost $10M honestly. Sure it's a fun family coaster and all that but the storyline isn't the best (its so abrupt when you enter the mountain) the screens are meh and the guns hardly work. At least it has the world's tallest drop coaster track though :p

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

    YS was custom made for Canada's Wonderland by the GM and Walter Bolliger back in 2014. It was probably going to be YS 2016, Valravn in 2017/2018 but that got scrapped. I guess it was a blessing in disguise since now the park has a lot of money left over and saved from 2015 that it's getting a...

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

    An interesting note about YS. The ride was purchased by CF in 2015 to open in 2016, but it got delayed. Now CW has a ton of money saved up and they'll be using that on upgrades (they've upgraded the hell out of the park this year), kids expansion/water park expansion plus the hotel next year...

    Top 3 coaster experiences?

    1. Leviathan 25x in a row last summer, going on from mid noon to night is a cool experience. Also, the night rides had no trims, we went flying on that second airtime hill. 2. I marathoned Dueling Dragons back in the day when it existed and Dueled (R.I.P) did Ice and Fire 20x each, surprised I...

    Biggest Disappointment...

    Unfortunately no, it was the old school friction brakes that trim hard. Behemoth, Diamondback and Intimidator all have it, with Behemoth only using the first of three (the other two are pointless) Diamondback has one but it's used heavily and it's before the MCBR, and Intimidator just has it on...

    Biggest Disappointment...

    Two hypers that disappointed me 1. Diamondback: I've always heard that this was the best B&M hyper out there from enthusiasts and it was hyped up hard by KI fanboys, but honestly this ride was average. It's a fun ride for sure, but the airtime was meh and it had a pretty bad rattle. Other B&M's...

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

    Hey everyone! I've been lurking on these forums for years and decided to make one, mainly since I rode YS on Wednesday (invited by friends) and Friday (Season pass holder). I did not get any pictures since my phone is currently getting repaired, but here are my thoughts on the ride. I rode it 6x...
