Height scares people. Imagine if you would put inversions on it as well. -

It's because hyper/giga coasters cost ridiculous amour of money, and when investing that much you want as many as possible to go on the ride. Inversions will always put people of from going on the ride. -

3 million € ain't gonna buy no Mack water coaster, new or old! The concept art is quite impressive though. -

This and Cannibal are my favorite projects for 2015, and I still can't pick a favorite! -

I still think this ride is everything a B&M hyper should be, focus on overbanks and speed. I actually dare to predict that this will be the absolute best B&M hyper up until the tunnel. From there until the end it looks extremely mediocre. -

^ Well it's still B&M, there extremely conservative. We'll probably see lap bars only on a B&M in 15 years.. -
Gardaland Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Rockman89's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As I written earlier on the subject, there is probably a will from B&M to change out all the old restraints on their line-up. The old B&M restraints have been since the early 90s and all the other manufacturers are changing out there restraints. It's necessary for B&M to renew their restraints to keep their portfolio fresh. Still can't wait to see if they will have them on the the new dive machines or not! -
Here's some more photos of it! That's pretty lame of Proslide. I could understand it if it were something similar to a Tornado, like the Whitewater Abyss, but this slide is so different from a Tornado that I don't know why they would even think of suing. I'm glad that you are happier with the version you are getting, from the looks of it you will have a winner!

I'm really curious if they will have the new restraints or not. -

How about some crappy Iphone photos from Christmas at Tivoli? Also, ridiculous amount of people there yesterday, never seen it so crowded in my life! -

Alan said RMC had three projects for 2016, one being Wildfire, so I don't think they are involved in this, as I don't see Six Flags slowing down any time soon! -
Romon World to open in China

The ride is built indoor, so there won't really be any rollback problems, because the ride won't face high winds or low temperaturs. -

This is wrong. Wicked is designed and engineered by Dal Freeman. The only part the Stengel firm had was to give a second opinion, on the request of Zierer. -

Funny, this is also what I tend to do when I'm at a water park! -
The B&M Rattle Directory
_koppen replied to GwaziBSRider1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This isn't going to work, all B&Ms rattle on some days, and on some days they don't. The exception is new ones who are usually spared for a couple of years. It's all about the maintenance, and when it's done. -
Should we get rid of 3 Bench PTC trains?

Could be Euromir?
