    Intamin or B&M

    ^Which types of Intamin coasters usually feature these wheels? There are vertical wheels on the brake run of Superman: Ride of Steel that push the train into the station...but I've never seen a problem with these. I've seen Superman run flawlessly through a torrential downpour. Unless it's just...

    Intamin or B&M

    What the hell are you talking about? Almost any coaster can run in the rain...and you must be retarded if you mean rocket coasters. There's too much of a risk when launching a coaster in the rain, so most parks will close the coaster. Other than that, all Intamin coasters can work in the rain...

    Launch or drop towers?

    I, like Grace, prefer Combo-mode towers, since you get both...however...that isn't an option, so I'd say launched. A good ride op crew or a good sound spiel for a Space Shot works great to build up the suspense for the launch...and I love getting a good, powerful launch, as they provide a great...

    What is the best Restraint?

    ^^Why did you say only on TTD? All the Intamin Megcoasters and Rocket Coasters built before 2004 have the lapbars, too.

    Drop Towers, yes or no?

    I'd never went on one until two weeks ago when I rode Dr. Doom's FearFall at Islands of Adventure. The initial launch and drop are excellent, but the rest of the hops were small. I'm looking forward to next friday, though, when I go to Six Flags New England again, and get to ride Scream! which...

    What is the best Restraint?

    My favorite is the Intamin T-Bar/Lockbar. They're tight and secure, while still being small enough for you not to feel too constricted, and they allow a lot of airtime. My second favorite is the B&M OTSR. They're light and comfortable, while still giving you room to put your hands up and not...

    Nemesis or Nemesis Inferno

    Going from a standpoint of not having rode either, I'd still go with Nemesis. While they shouldn't be compared like brothers, they still can be compared to each other in that they're both B&M Inverted coasters, the way we can compare coasters such as Raptor and Montu. That being said, Nemesis...

    Clothing style

    I dress pretty preppy. Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, GAP, and Hollister mostly...and some Aero and Old Navy on occasion, but mostly the "cheap preps" wear clothes from those stores. Not that I'm stuck up or anything...=)
