Hybrid makes sense. Steel track, wood supports...

^ Ahh I see. Two connect to the front of the catch car, but one connects to the back. Makes sense now.

^ Cost, I would assume. I think carbon fiber costs around 10 times more than steel.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits That is supposed to be a heartline roll... Better angle here, but not very well heartlined...

I don't know if this question has been asked before; I'm assuming that it has, but I couldn't find a topic. I noticed on TTD (and I'm assuming all Intamin Accelerators), that two cables go into the motor house, but only one comes out. That's not the confusing part to me, though. When you see...

Re: Son of Beast to be retracked by GCI? ^ Agreed. I would love to see another Texas Giant treatment.

I think by explosion he means pushups, jumps, lunges and things of that sort, just based on what I've seen of Insanity. I decided against it though. I know it would end up doing much more harm than good, especially for a runner. I heard it kills your legs and I don't need anymore stress on my...

Started seeing black spots on Batman: The Ride, and I think I blacked out on I305. If it wasn't considered a blackout it was pretty damn close.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits ^ Good lord does that look painful.

^^ Agreed. And I love to hear people freak out when it happens. And damn, TTD was in rare form today. Actually got some good airtime in the front car over the tophat. Has never happened to me before. I was pleasantly surprised! But I also had that disappointed feeling from not getting a...

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits And I thought I305 was trimmed to death when I rode it...

Rode MF for the first time since riding I305 last season, and I think I changed my mind. Even with the trim brakes I305 was more intense. MF seemed forceless to me today, for the first time ever. I was kind of sad...

Nope. Just said that a lot of things that make life easier can cause cancer. It's been proven with the chemicals in our food, and pollution in our air. Cell phones, however, I'm not sold on. I personally don't believe that they have to ability to cause cancer. Just like when 'experts' said that...

^^ Depends. Not my favorite. But I listen to a little bit every once in a while.

For me, I love theming while waiting in line, and before a launch/lift in the station, but after that I don't really pay much attention, even if it's supposed to be a well themed ride throughout. I do like it when the theme and ride interact an produce head choppers, though.

Manual. I'd rather do it myself and avoid paying for an automated wash. I'm cheap as ****.

Life is bad for your health. Nothing can kill you if you're already dead... Look at cancer. It's a disease of civilization. The more technologically advanced we become, the more we raise the risk of getting cancer. Cars produce pollution, chemicals in our food, firsthand/secondhand smoke...all...

^ That makes more sense. Another question though, why 2 wires and not 3? Just wondering because of the 3 phase current. Oh, and one more. :P What would happen without a 3 phase current? If it was just one current, without the constantly changing magnetic field?

Used to be TTD. But the past few years I haven't had many issues while waiting. Maybe that's just good luck. Are the Intamin Accelerators still experiencing those problems, or have they got those under control?

Mean Streak...Ugh
