    Describing your interest in all things coaster to people?

    Re: Describing your interest in all things coaster to people I've never had any issues with what people think or having to describe it, I don't really go about preaching my interests however most people clocked on some time ago. Generally people think it's rather interesting, and it is as...

    Insane Flat rides

    If you look closely at the photos, you can see that the ends of the arms have been designed to spin (In a photo on AIG, you can see a motor is attached half way down the arm). So from those photos, it will spin like an enterprise and raise, then when vertical the ends of the arms/seats will be...

    Insane Flat rides

    Adventure Island's new in-house built ride "The Time Machine" is certainly looking rather insane, some photos courtesy of AIG below. Full photos http://z6.invisionfree.com/advislguide/ ... =839&st=75 Enterprise, crossed with a KMG XLR8, with an extra twist!

    Is Rita Rough?

    The only part I find rough is the first helix, that part I find is quite rough and I do bang my head normally during the transition from the launch to the first helix which has left a bruise before. But the same goes for Stealth also, it has one point of roughness and thats at the bottom...

    Raptor vs Talon

    Sorry, My mistake. Although there called Stall Turns they do not really slow down dramatically. They still do go through them at quite a good speed so the ride still does keep a good pace even if it does slow down a certain points. But like I said it does not slow down dramatically.

    Raptor vs Talon

    Stalls! :? It slows down going over the top of the loop and of course other parts which every coaster does but its far from stalling. Talk about over exaggerating. I think UC means that it builds up pace, but of course it loses speed going through elements but Nemesis (What makes it...

    Your Highest coaster G-Force

    Must be just an error on RCDB, as the Nemesis on ride photo sleeve states that it pulls 4.5 G's and I have just spoken to a Nemesis Ride host and he has also told me it pulls 4.5 G's.

    Your Highest coaster G-Force

    I noticed that also on RCDB, but that makes no sense at all as Air pulls 3 G's and Nemesis feels (To me anyways) a lot more forceful than Air. Rita seems to be the coaster that I have pulled the most G Force on, 4.7 I beleive.

    Least Favourite Alton Coaster

    Rita, it is a coaster that was not planned out very well and it feels and looks like a rush job. So Rita it is.
