Re: 'Amarok' - Intamin LSM Multi Launcher 15/09/2013 I'd personally use the 1x4 flat wooden beams rotated to vertical for the launch fins. I love the look of that roll and the supports look pretty good, really looking forward to it's release.

Probably either Baco or Tatsu, I know that Tatsu's lowest point is the bottom of the pretzel loop so I'd also imagine that it's the fastest as well, which would put it at 62mph/100kph.

Re: Cedar Point | Gemini Midway Update | Disco & Flying Scoo Liseberg has two S&S towers plus the one that used to be an observation tower.

First gen Intamin's are the best along with ARM/Larson towers because the drop is completely unexpected with an almost violent release. Really frightening and they both feature pretty thin, loose OSTRs that make them so much better. It really is a massive shame there's so few first gens left (3...

S:RoS doesn't have magnetic brakes, it has the old style of Intamin horizontal clamp brakes that happen to look like the magnetic brakes on MF.

Re: Kings Island | "Banshee" | Mahoossive B&M Invert ^That was back in the Paramount days, so technically no.

In English it only says that they'll be closed for the rest of the season, not forever, granted I can't speak Dutch so...

Rode SFMMs B:TR during 2011s Fright Fest when they had a ton of fog machines, strobe lights and audio going under the ride, combined with it running really fast from a really long, hot day made it completely crazy throughout.

**** no. Timberliners are tacky, gross pieces of poor engineering and the restraints are vile.

It used to drop another 10 feet down with no blend between the two curves, so yes.

I305's first turn, Magnum's second air hill had a slight reprofile so the transition between negative and positive force wasn't so abrupt, Steel Phantom/Phantom's Revenge for obvious reasons and Zonga was butchered when they raised the bottom of the drop by 15 feet.

The usual offseason visits to SFMM and KBF Need to get myself up to the Bay Area to pick up Goldstriker, S:UF, Undertow and Gilroy Gardens Possibly some parks in the NYC area One of three big trips possible: Getting most of the creds in Canada and hopefully Great Escape and Darien Lake...

I rode Voyage last summer and the out run was long, boring but smooth while the turnaround was pretty fun, if a little slow, but the return run was boring and rougher than Ghostrider starting at the cameras, overall I really wasn't impressed at all. I really tried to like it but would almost...

According to screamscape SF has trademarked the name "Aqua Twist" to be used on more Mack twist'n'splash rides like they added at La Ronde this year.

Re: Kings Island 2014 Roller Coaster If you are referring to the lone piece of green track at the B&M plant the current word is that it was a botched piece for the one at Ocean Kingdom and is headed for a scrapyard, this is based mainly on the fact that it's the right color and isn't raised off...

I'm pretty sure that a passenger ejection has nothing to do with the actual ride and everything to do with maintenance and the restrain system. The two parties here that will be held under the most scrutiny are SF and Gerst. RMC only built the track and gave Gerst the specs to build the trains...

Re: Kings Island 2014 Roller Coaster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKXcCFov1x0 If you look at the track at around 2:30 here you can see that it has the same job number as in that pic written on it so I think that the tweet was just to throw people off, and that track piece is actually for...

That's hardly the middle of nowhere, it's really close to a major city, that just happens to be in a fairly small country.

Whatever that thing at Boondocks in Deadwood is called, basically a tiny little fail on the side of a small highway in the middle of South Dakota the whose only distinction is that in some cases it can be used to go to Mount Rushmore or the Crazy Horse monument. It was about couple rundown...

^ I love how after the helix it acts like it's over but is actually headed for the bowtie.
