Lost Schwarzkopf - BMRX comes to the UK?
dr.gumbo replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
WHAT!!! Out of all the parks I expected it to go to, it went to camalot How can they afford that, they arnt exacly the richest park in the world, or are they! EDIT: I thought they tried to get a Boomerang once but wer'nt allowed it because of its height, this is taller isnt it, unless they dig a big hole like alton towers -

^^ The GP look for the biggest and best, sure CP has them but as a lot of people say, there not the best. Besides they've got Wild thing, a big coaster and they can use that to attract Guests and they notest while there there Reganade, A new coaster and the GP are bound to ride it cause its new and to them, better therfore attracting more guests, so it'll do its job People seem to be un-impressed by this ride, I understand why, its has'nt got anything that really makes you go WOW, and it is'nt as twisty as other GCI rides but Bah! It better than Maverick IMO -
We're alway taking about the bigger coasters, but what is the best little one I think this ones fun, a little intence and an okay airtime hill at the end, my brother loved it, and it only Three miles from were I'm sitting New rollercoaster (Im suprised no-ones made this post befor so if it exists or is just dumb, lock it)

The Intamin Woodie difference (pics)
dr.gumbo replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I personally think the design for prefabs are out-standing, smooth, thrilling and great quality. I have notest they are a bit more expensive than a normal woodie, this is probable way there is so few of them -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
dr.gumbo replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've noted that nobody mensioned about construction lately but anyway, on the webcam I see there putting up the lift hill supports, means vertical construction taking place EDIT: ^ I was thinking the same thing, could of put a few more inverions in but... -

Lift-hill coasters versus launched coasters
dr.gumbo replied to AndyGiles's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Your right, all most of use (I think) are saying we prefer lift to launch, not that launch is'nt as genuine as a lift, there hasnt been any other type of system to get the cars moving since 1900 so I praise it for that -
Lift-hill coasters versus launched coasters
dr.gumbo replied to AndyGiles's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I agree, lift hills give more tension than a launch because you go higher and higher an then you race right down the first drop, but on a launch coaster you leave the station and race to full speed in 2 seconds gives you no time to see people muttering and panicing about how they shouldnt of went on EDIT:Forgot to mension how unreliable launchs are (espesially on Rocket coasters) Another EDIT:Also forgot to mension that I like Powder kegs launch because it has a mini lift to take you up to it Powder keg rules -

Is It Really Worth It?
dr.gumbo replied to Adriel's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Tell people youve got the tallest coaster ever and they all flock to it and for many people, if the coasters the biggest its bound to be the best (and of course its not true) -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
dr.gumbo replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I dont think it'll have a lift hill then a launch, to have the launch after the lift will mean the train will have to stop completely for a while then lanch and the system will surly fail a lot I this is the case they might as well build two coasters! Yay for Gemini 2! -

Is that the steepest drop ever I see? In your face euro-fighter! NOTE: dont count the other SS's drops cause there inversions
