    Rides that would be better without an element?

    Best Euro-fighter

    Fluch von Novgorod for me, although I'd really like to try out Mystery Mine - that looks like a difference experience altogether from your usual Eurofighter.

    Freizeitpark Plohn | Dynamite | Mack BigDipper

    I disagree with how you worded it :). Less positives is (ironically) a negative way of saying "more negatives g's"

    Freizeitpark Plohn | Dynamite | Mack BigDipper

    I think it's designed to pull a longer duration of 0g / hangtime when compared with normal dive drops.
