Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
chickenbowl replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Henry. How the hell do you know anything about this project? Definitely echoing chickenbowl in bitter that the crazy airtime hill is gone. Slightly rude. No, I was not echoing, I would prefer the term, agreeing. While I do not know any more about this project, I looked at the bottom of the loop, and it very similar shape to one you would expect from a B and M, rather than the ones on the large Mack coasters or Premier's YOLOcoaster loop. I am also not bitter, as I will never go to this park in my life, so don't mind, however I find this project very interesting. As someone else said, it could just be the angle... He's just saying that your interpolation of the size of the loop is probably very inaccurate. Also the second line is about himself, not you -

The loop grows. I'm just still bitter that I'll never get to experience that apparently insane ejector airtime the tophat had... Airtime >>> a giant loop -

^ Great news! Thanks for the update A few weeks ago people would've predicted Colossos to be open and Wildfire closed for 2017, not the other way around! -

Yeah, couldn't agree more! RMC drops are great, but don't hold a flame to amazing Japanese Jet Coasters -

This next element is essentially a HUGE semi-outward-banked hill. Think this: but taken to the size of Mean Streak's second elevated turn! -

Nah, dude. Orochi still operates in France as Monster. -

I think Robb and co. are at Ferrari World - If they see this I'd love to hear any reviews of Flying Aces!! -

^ I was referring to his proposal of a back-to-basics/Cedar Fair system (normal wristbands with hole punch/sharpie/etc.?), not the current iteration. -
Dollywood Discussion Thread

The same way they're keeping track of it now with plastic wristbands... That's the thing, they have no limit in place other than only two rides allowed on LR Link I agree with everything you've said on this issue. It's practical, cheap, and easy - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" Also, I'm glad you got on LR (and loved it!), great review! -

For future reference, some roller coaster enthusiasts that browse and post on this site have varying forms of Autism/Aspergers/etc. This developmental disorder can often be characterized by difficulty in social interactions (including forum posts). These people have the right to post on a forum without being made fun of and demeaned by people like you. This is just a suggestion - I'm not trying to moderate, I'm just encouraging positivity... Maybe a cop like yourself can practice empathy a little more? -
B&M vs Intamin
chickenbowl replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Like you it's Fury! Nobody can deny that coaster is their best! The great B&Ms that fall short of my top ten, but still make top 25 are Behemoth, Goliath (SFOG), Flying Dinosaur (by FAR the best Flyer), Diving Coaster (Happy Valley)/ShieKra, Fire Dragon (yeah.. higher than Montu and Alpengeist), Leviathan, Nitro, and Diamondback. All amazing coasters in their own right, but I can name plenty of coasters that are better! -
B&M vs Intamin
chickenbowl replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Just looking at my Top Ten steel by manufacturer, it becomes very clear: 1. Intamin 2. Intamin 3. Intamin 4. RMC 5. Intamin 6. B&M 7. RMC 8. RMC 9. Intamin 10. RMC And that's without even looking at my wood top ten (which is just icing in the cake for Intamin...). Simply put, B&M makes great second-tier coasters Now make a thread Intamin vs RMC and we might get some decent conversation between two master-tier coaster companies! -

I think 3rd row of Magnum (just like Phoenix) is the best for airtime. The back doesn't even come close
