Yes I know that :P Interesting! Didn't know that.

UC, are you sure? Any sources? Assuming this drawing is an accurate/near-accurate representation of Top Thrill's layout/proportions, don't you think that the launch section appears to measure MORE (length-wise) than the tower, (height-wise)? This of course would assume that the launch section is...

Thanks again! Reason #3 seems plausible. - From any personal experiences on Diamondback, how's the airtime on that coaster? - What's the length of Top Thrill Dragster's launch section? Thanks in advance!

Thanks UC for your answers! And everyone else too... NOW, another curiosity: I'm not surprised if I haven't been one of the only ones to ask this... but HOW does Astroland's Cyclone @ Coney Island claim to have a top speed of 60 mph with having only an 85 ft. tall hill/drop? The maximum speed...

Finally getting to this... Diamondback has a pretty appealing layout :D

Good taste.

What the... ? The Déjà Vu is now closed at SFMM? And they're gonna relocate it to SFNE? Why?! What's up with all these giant inverted boomerang closings and relocations? Just wondering.

I think the 169' "hill" it mentions actually refers to the over-banked turn right after the 300-foot initial drop. Besides, just by observing pictures - it seems that the second parabolic hill is much more than just 13 feet shorter in height. By a rough guess, I'd say the hill in question...

It is difficult to find statistics regarding questions 2, 3, and 4! I knew it. It's not just me. :)

I've wondered some of these things for a while, and despite excessive browsing over coaster stuff or even actual research attempting to find some of these things out, I've never come across an answer or explanation. Thanks to anyone who could enlighten me about any of these questions... 1) How...

Maybe it's a way for you to feel more "connected" with the ride/ride experience. Not sure. Oh - I entirely agree with this about holding on during things like drop towers... well, at least with S&S' versions of them! The Power Tower @ Cedar Point and other towers alike are the only rides where...

Most exciting? Agreeing with many, Leviathan for sure. Living about 5 hours from Canada's Wonderland... hoping to make it there for its opening season...!!!

I've always thought "ejector" airtime was a sensation of, well, you literally feel like you're going to be ejected right out of your seat, haha, more so if the restraints were taken out of the equation. Basically, negative Gs. Correct me if I'm getting this concept wrong. From my experiences...

Hmm let's see... Arguably the best song on a recently released album by one of my all-time favorite artists, Hecq :) Hecq - "With Angels" The album though, from what I've been reading, has an equal balance of both negative and positive reviews. So I wouldn't actually recommend the entire...

My sig kinda gives it away. DROPS!!!

What roller coasters do you start off with, right after you've arrived at the park? The big ones, or the small ones? In other words, would you prefer to induce the largest possible adrenaline rush by starting off with the largest coaster, then ride anything else after that? Or would you induce...

Yeah, it's now quite unoriginal. I had even spontaneously thought about the concept and created one A LOT like what seems to be shown in the video. It's like they could have stolen the idea from me =P (or mine from them, depending on any variables including proof of dates). The only main...
