It's weird...I know in the animation that the Top Gun Stall was basically a 360 degree roll with an upside down stall, but for some reason I've been anticipating it to roll out of the element the same way that it rolled into it with. It just seemed more RMCish in my head. I'm glad to see that that is actually the case!

The last new Coaster in your Count
WFChris replied to K1ngdaKa88's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The newest addition to my coaster count is The Bullet at Selva Magica, in Guadalajara Mexico. I haven't looked at my list lately (I just barely even care) but I'm finally closing in on 100....I think. -
TPR in Mexico 2015!

^Maybe, just maybe, instead of removing it they can do one last ditch effort to hype the fact that its such a unique attraction for an amusement park. Of course, I can't imagine Alicia being very popular on day to day operations. If visitors want to learn, there's a huge-a$$ zoo right next door. -
I don't think we are expecing that...they haven't been opening a new coaster every year (somebody mentioned that they are, and I suppose that's true if you count Lex Luthor as a roller coaster). Angelinos go wherever something new is...I would actually think SFMM might be laying low next year because they aren't going to be able to match the hype of PotterLand. It would be a great year to work on keeping annual passholders renewing and fixing up things around the park.

^I still don't think its the fact that SFMM is 'too cheap' to buy a giga coaster. I just don't think they want one. They have already been done, they take up a ton of space (which comes at a premium here in SoCal), and SFMM likes gimmicky rides. They always have. I agree with the other posters that we have an excellent selection of coasters, and what would benefit our collection right now would be a Dive Coaster or a Maverick style coaster.

Fury 325 Media Day at Carowinds!
WFChris replied to ernierocker's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's hard to comprehend how huge that ride is...except by how tiny the trains look in all the pictures! -
^HAH! Good one! But for example, many people I know don't like Goliath, Xcelerator, and drop towers, all because of 'that feeling they get going down the drops.' ^^Does SFMM really have a reputation for cutting costs on rides? I mean, Full Throttle DOES seem like half a ride but... Riddler is still the longest/tallest/fastest standup. Tatsu is the longest flyer. X2 is certainly one of a kind and definitely was when it was built. It wasn't/isn't cheap either. They are going through great pains to keep Ninja alive and well. TC is the longest RMC to date. I'm sure theres more, a

I'm pretty sure many are going to think its dangerous. I don't know if its a So Cal thing, but many many people I talk to don't like the feeling of airtime. Maybe it's why SFMM has more inversions than any other park in the world? If anything it will keep lines shorter for the ride! (dreaming, I know).

Sounds good, Michael. Thanks again for reading about my weirdly timed solo trip! I love you all! -
