El Spiteo for sure :(

Great job covering the event Dave! And wow does that thing look amazing :--D Abu Dhabi here we come!!

Super exciting Dave! :--D

Why isn't Flight of Fear listed? Such an awesome roller coaster :--D

Second that! Amazing ride made even more mazing at night :--D (and by not having to queue.. )

Wow! 100 meters you say? That's one massive drop tower!! Will be nice to give it a try once I get my ass out to Nigloland :)

The hill+turn combo looks fab! Imagine a nice B&M floater hill followed up by a change of direction and some high g's :--D

^The Zamperla ones are awesome! Amazing airtime on those :--D

Re: RMC. Is it more expensive to convert or build from scrat ^I know from talking to Liseberg officials during the Helix openingt hat the huge cost of the ride was due to the groundwork being more expensive than usual. They said ~50% of the money spent on a coaster project normally covers the...

Re: RMC. Is it more expensive to convert or build from scrat Yes, I think we're all consentient on this one. A woodie with the iron horse treatment would have the cost of -50% (due to savings in ground works) + additional surveying and strengthening of the existing wood structure. Don't know...

There have been some discussions lately on the forum regarding the "most comfortable" seating position, where a great majority (including me) have promoted the B&M clamshell design or Mack lapbars. Nothing wrong with that. The comfort of these two seating arrangements is unparalleled! But then...

I know that Mechanica at Liseberg is special designed to be able to run in freezing temperatures as well. The only modification needed by Zierer to acomplish this was heated hydraulic restraints (cuz the hydraulics don't work in low temperatures otherwise). I assume Taron will have a similar...

^Haha! I was thinking the same; most of the other flyers have a gentle "simulate flight" theme, while this one will have "get ravished by a pterodactyl" :P

I totally agree! Glad it's just not me :) They're imposing, sure. But the support structure is ugly as hell too! I wonder why Intamin hasn't come up with a better looking solution? It's such a shame, especially considering how beautiful Stealth and Saturn looks! <3

Rita and Stealth both provide some decent airtime! Can't think of any other.

Sorry to be a party pooper; but the track is actually the tentacles of the monster, and the supports are there to pin the beast down. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7OjP4YKYwE

I'm not a "fan", but I really appreciate their rides! The Schwarzkopf name is generally a guarantee for a smooth ride, their old school layouts also feels "uncalculated" in contradiction to todays modern rides: i.e. they have a lot of unpredictable laterals, spikes of high g's and surpricing...

Looking beautiful! :) I just regained my hope that this will be a good ride after all :--D The unusual steep first drop might be followed by sharper radius hills, or at least hills taken at higher speed. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Re: Universal IOA to close Hulk for new enhancements ^^I would assume Matterhorn at Disneyland, or perhaps BTMR or Space Mountain at WDW? :) Either that or some really old coaster like Rutschebanen at Tivoli Gardens! Tivoli don't got quite the crowds that Disney has, but a popular coaster...

Gorgeous! =D> It's quite unbelievable to think that a couple of years ago Sweden had no substantial coaster, and now we got both Helix and this!! :--D
