    Kings Dominion | Twisted Timbers | RMC I-Box (Hurler Conversion)

    Giving a bump, Twisted Timbers has not officially tested yet as they're waiting to finish pouring for the new queue. Due to the layout of the ride it is difficult to get into the centerfield with a large vehicle, especially something like a cement truck. Also be scared for the larger folk. I'm...

    Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

    That wonky support on top of Hangtime's first inversion.

    Roughest/Worst coaster you've ridden?

    Steamin' Demon @ Great Escape. Never had problems with Arrow loopers until the exit of its corkscrews, damn near broke my neck.

    World's Most Boring Coaster?

    Seconding, it's combination of the worst features of the Arrow Mine Trains. Trailblazer and Cedar Creek Mine Ride are also really dull as well.

    Where are you on the spectrum of park/coaster fandom ?

    Few years back I was more interested in the coasters at parks and the experiences they bring. After a few years working in an amusement park I've grown fascinated with how parks present themselves, along with their operations teams to see what they do compared to my experiences. I've developed...

    Cedar Point | Rougarou | Mantis Floorless Conversion

    Rougarou should have hourly capacity similar to Gatekeeper. Its cousin Bizarro has an hourly capacity estimate of 1728. I believe Raptor is somewhere north of 1800?

    Cedar Point | Rougarou | Mantis Floorless Conversion

    It's not going to take forever and a half to check a train anymore so in all likelihood Rougarou will be running all 3 trains for many years to come (unless parts shaving becomes a thing, which Cedar Point is usually good about).

    Well that's going to go nowhere.

    Six Flags Fiesta Texas | Batman: The Ride | S&S 4D

    What a strange looking and short coaster.

    Six Flags Great Adventure get namtaB in July - page 2

    Ah, apparently I was wrong, then. I thought they had it going there as a standalone before the B&M trains started getting moved everywhere.

    How would you turn SeaWorld around?

    Same boat as Jared, remove the shows and pull back the curtains on what care they take for the animals. Focusing more on amusement rides instead of the Aquatics, but still keeping them around will also help things. Selling off the Busch parks might also alleviate some of their issues but...

    STOP THE PRESSES! LWV GET RIDE MERCH!

    Six Flags Great Adventure get namtaB in July - page 2

    Right now besides Great Adventure the only parks that have not had the Backwards invert trains are Six Flags Fiesta Texas and La Ronde, so at the most still one more year before the cycle starts again.

    BGW | Tempesto | Premier Rides Launch Coaster

    Re: BGW | Tempesto? | Premier Rides Launch Coaster BGW's PR call them "comfort straps" and they were added due to the sky roll. According to them they are pretty much redundant but by the looks of things they'll get in your way while riding. Capacity will be mid-high 600 riders per hour...

    Hansa Park | Kärnan | Gerstlauer Hyper Coaster

    Going to be fairly close to the ground besides that one overbank and whatever the **** that thing is going to be after the first drop. Is that a Butterfly like what Medusa @ SFDK has?

    Six Flags Great Adventure get namtaB in July - page 2

    Re: Six Flags Great Adventure to make surprise ride announce Batman will be closed during CoasterCon which is going to be held June 21st-26th. Falls right in line with what Intricks said.

    Alton Towers | Octonauts Rollercoaster Adventure | kiddie

    Re: Alton Towers | Octonauts Rollercoaster Adventure | kiddi It is very likely to be Zierer, same exact track they use on their Force kiddie coasters (Air Grover, Alpine Express, Shamu Express, Indy Blitz).
