A nicely written, well researched article on roller coasters

there's a lovely write up of "Manhattan Express" (article written several years after the name change!), and the canyon blaster review is great- "it has a punishing double loop and a double corkscrew that roller-coaster lovers adore" :mrgreen:

All the coasters in Vegas were crap in their own way. Manhattan Express could have been OK, but the trains were vile and had high sides surrounding you so you couldn't see a damn thing and it also made the ride more painful. Canyon Blaster was meh but I suppose slightly cool because indoor theme park.

X-Scream was terrifying and awesome, but is not a coaster, stupid man writing the article.

Why did he seem shocked when He said lightning closes X scream. It's on top of a bloody skyscraper for god sake, of course it's going to close in lightning. Most rides what are on the ground close due to lightning, so of course this would definitely close.
