Just to forwarn you about the DS Lite, the hinges have been known to get cracks in them. I don't know if they're revising the design or not to make the hinges sturdier but keep the 'fatty' DS for now. Thats if you treat it bad. Its not crappy at all. Another one of those gaming horror stories that effects like one in a million.

My bad. I have both and I chose DS haha.

RCDB is your friend: http://rcdb.com/id2264.htm Marine LAND is in Canada. Thats marine world... two totally different parks. -
I don't wan't to get into a huge debate over this, but have you ever been to the park at MOA? If not don't discuss about what it has and what it doesn't and I will do the same with WEM, because I have never been there. I am not going to change my opinion on what some kid tells me. I may have to go there for myself one day and experience all it has to offer, but I would still much rather go to the MOA. My cousin went there a while ago and took tonnes of pictures. I've seen it. It's nothing great. He hated it.

Personally I would much rather go to MOA (I go there and to Valleyfair! every year), I like the park at MOA and the MOA and IMO it looks MUCH nicer than Galaxyland. You have one good coaster, so what? I would much rather go to a really nice well themed park with mediocre rides than an alright park with one good coaster and some mediocre rides. You also have Valleyfair!, the Water Park of America, and Minneapolis right next door. I would never go on a vacation just to go to one mall and then come home, but I like going to the MOA because of its great location and the attractions nearby. I am not saying this because I don't like Canada or because I don't want anything to do with Canadian rides. This is just my opinion Calaway Park, so don't go around saying I am anti-Canada after you read this. I am just expressing my opinion. I personally would love to try this coaster and go to WEM, but like previously said I probably won't go for a while unless the ride is going to be torn down. Galaxyland is themed EXTREMELY well. Have you even been there? The video doesn't show it but it is. And Galaxyland doesn't just have [one good coaster] why do people keep saying this? We have an S&S double shot, a top spin with a WICKED program, Solar Flare, a Moser Hoppla, Sonic Storm.. its great! MOA isn't themed that well. Galaxyland has great operations.. the ride queues are very short and I've never waited longer than ten minutes for a ride. THe park is very clean and well kept. Galaxyland is located RIGHT next door (same mall close) To the worlds largest indoor waterark! World Waterpark! Also, we have edmonton right outside with the Telus WOS, and these huge greenhouse piramid thingys. Sure we dont have Vallefair!, but its Canada... Thats MY opinion. Not dissing yours, just saying that mine is.. well.. the complete and total opposite.

Okay then. Why are the other cars shaped like a lead car as far as my brain can see the would be more expensive because the nose piece would only be needed on the front car. P.S. sorry if i sound rude i don't mean to.

Think about it.. the ride used to have 4 cars [correct me if I'm wrong].. so maybe if they didnt have the extra weight of lead cars, it wouldnt make the circuit. OILERS ROCK! You people suck. I mean that in the politest way possible

That really depends on where you live. Who's going to fly long distance just to ride one good roller coaster in a mall? I'd probably do it if I found a SUPER cheap flight, but otherwise wouldn't. At least MoA is in an area that has other parks to make a trip more worthwhile. The closest park to WEM is probably like 3 days worth of solid driving. Calaway park is about a four hour drive away I mean, what looks like the better park.. as if.. money was no object and you could get there with magic or something. Which park in itself is the better park? Um.. We have the worlds largest indoor waterpark with the worlds tallest indoor bungee jump, SilverStar theater, Galaxyland also has tonnes of thrilling rides. Mindbender isn't the only one. We have the worlds tallest indoor drop tower... The worlds largest indoor wavepool, north america's largest mall, an NHL sized skating rink, Huge minigolf course.. there is TONNES to do in that mall. Plus we have exibits and stuff that come around the mall every once in a while. The mall has tonnes to do.. and you'll never get bored unless you have no idea how to have fun.

I've heard that before. But it seems like an urban myth. Unless I see some realy proof I still think that reason is BS. No amusemant park is going to buy a multi-million dollar roller coaster, and run it into the ground because they can't read the instruction manual. I found the info off of Ride Accidents and Wikipedia... They did translate it, but it wasnt done well enough for them to fully understand it.

What looks better? Mall Of America's Camp Snoopy or West Edmonton Mall's Galaxyland. By the way, WEM is like 2 MOA Also, Mindbender is now one of the best maintained rides in existance. It doesn't receive wear and tear from the wind or rain, and after the accident, this ride became what it is today, one of the safest roller coasters in the world.
