^Have you been on Skyrush? I have never experienced any coaster with that strong forces! Yes, I305 can give it a match with possitives and speed. But I've never experienced such extreme negatives! And it's not just a pop of airtime, it's sustained extreme negatives!! And even though certain other rides have high G's or are pretty etc, I have yet to ride a coaster that combines every aspect as brilliantly as Skyrush does! <3

Thing with Skyrush is it jumps rapidly between Strong positives to Strong Negatives and it sustains those forces suitable length of time. Unlike I305 which is just constant positives with slight pops of negatives.

I like Jerry's analogy of it. It trys everything to get you off it. I agree, Nothing has done what skyrush does to that degree.
 
It's kind of against my coaster philosophy to compare a woodie to a steel but El Toro and Skyrush are actually pretty similar. Both have a great balance of positives and negatives and they both have those "oh **** I'm going to fly out" moments. Just Skyrush is a lot more scrambled with its actions in contrast to El Toro going from buck to shake.
