And on second note, why the hate for Gerstlauer? I've never understood why the community frowns upon a coaster just because it is a 'Euro-Fighter' or built by 'Gerstlauer', they are 'in my opinion' the most innovative manufacteur in the industry today. It might not be the second-coming of Nemesis, but it certainly is the best looking coaster to come out of this country since 1994!
Have you been on Saw?
Although I agree, it seems Saw has certainly put Gerstlauer in the blacklist of coaster designers...
I don't see all the hate around Saw either. I can see why some dislike it, because it isn't glass-smooth (more like broken glass-smooth...), and the second half leaves a lot to desire, but is it really
that bad? I find the indoor section fantastic, and really makes a difference from the generic 'station>lift>drop>loop' kind of layout, the over-vertical drop is a joy too! The latter is weak in comparison to say Nemesis Inferno, but I still find it a generally enjoyable coaster.
I suppose we're all eligible to our own opinions, liking coasters nowadays is the same as liking movies and music.
Anyways, any news on when this 'Smiler game' is releasing, last time I heard it would be releasing the end of Feb?
