I always experience Anubis as quite bumpy. Lynet is smooth, but Anubis? Not so much. Agree on Typhoon though.

Re: Your favorite/least favorite coaster from each manufactu

I haven't ridden that many Gerstlauers but the contrast is so big that I just have to mention this after visiting Bobbejaanland today and Plopsa last week.

Favourite: Anubis
Least favourite: Typhoon

Anubis is one of the best coasters I've ridden so far. Super smooth, awesome launch and top hat and the entire first half is fantastic. If it had a better second half it would be top 5 material.

Typhoon is the absolute worst coaster I've ridden so far. **** drop, **** loop, **** slow hangtime heartline rolls, crappy restraints that get so tight that they completely crushed me towards the end, stupidly rough all ride long, ugly as ****, bland layout and just awful in general. Don't even get me started on that awfully bumpy helix. Got off with a terrible headache and I'm not going to ride it ever again.

That's hilarious because I found Typhoon to be the smoothest Eurofighter I'd ridden. I really liked it . The layout looks bland, but I actually found it really fun and forceful.

Granted Anubis is slightly better, but I found the restrains tightened (or crushed) me more on that. I actually found Anubis slightly rougher to. It's the launch and better paced layout that makes it a stronger ride IMO.

^ I agree Lynet is smoother and better than Anubis. It deserves more love.

I might have caught Typhoon on an awful day then, because it was the roughest ride I've ever ridden. Much worse than El Condor, etc. But I just feel that even if it was glass smooth, it wouldn't be very exciting. The drop and loop would've been fun, but the rest? I really despise excessive hangtime, and the rest was just some bland drops. The helix was probably the worst part of the ride, especially the transition of getting into the helix.

I don't remember anything on Anubis distracting me, which to me means it was smooth. Might have to do with the fact that I only rode front seat though. Absolutely adored that coaster, shame I only got two rides on it.

^ Or I got it on a good day. It's scary how rides can vary so much. I enjoyed the helices on Typhoon, but I remember how dreadful they were on Speed at Oakwood, so I can sort of understand your hatred for this ride.

Don't do that </3. ß is in no way the same thing as B. If you don't know how to type ß on your keyboard (usually it is S + ALT), rather use 'ss' instead, since that is what ß essentially stands for...

Re: Your favorite/least favorite coaster from each manufactu

^ Sorry. I usually do use the proper letter, but I'm typing on my iPad so... I only put a B because it looks like one (I know I was being very simple-minded )

Edit: Found the letter on my iPad, never knew if you held down letters you were given other language options

I think it's more likely to be this. I put Typhoon among the most painful coasters I've ridden and it's there in my bottom 10. The whole think shook, was rough and gave me an awful headache.
