Nemesis vs. Black Mamba
Menghini replied to Jon Sabo's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me it's the Black Mamba! Let's also look at the queu line: Black Mamba beats the Nemesis definately on that one. And that part you see and experience the most! Anyway: the Black Mamba is more mysterious and surprising and visually better, which puts, in my opinion, the Black Mamba above Nemesis. -

That's a pity. -
5th Dimension Coaster Idea
Menghini replied to Android's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, about X flipping the whole time... Next season we get the "ball coaster"! Talking about flipping the whole time. This 5d-concept is not very far away, I think. -
Wood or Steel?
Menghini replied to Coasters 4 ever's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My favourite is steel. Wood just looks better, but steel can be smooth and you can do more with steel, like inversions, etc. ... I'm still waiting for the first plastics coaster! -
Walibi Holland Discussion Thread
Menghini replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I hope the park will do some real maintenance now, especially for Goliath's sake. I hope the park will be worth visiting again someday... (of course: i will always go back for Goliath, but only if the entry is free of charge! ) The Vekoma Boomerang was probably regarded as one of the most scary rides there. And now there aren't many boomerangs left in Europe... Just kidding! I think the dutch ("we") are fortunate with those parks we have now, such variety, cheap, etc. Unfortunately, the government wants to raise the taxes on the tickets (now they have the low rate, 6%, it w -

It is, I agree! So we don't believe the interview/article? -
Worst Coaster Ever?
Menghini replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, it's now part of "Wuze Town" (just like the Winjas). The Nighthawk is one of their gods, I believe. They painted everything green and put some christmasdecoration at the loading station... and there is a laser from a bird at one lift hill. That's it. I think they didn't have any money anymore after the Black mamba! Just like Janster: also a lame coaster. -
Worst Coaster Ever?
Menghini replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me the worst coaster is: X:\no way out You think it's great and when you read about the coaster, you think it's a great coaster... But it isn't. Followed by "Psyclone" at SFMM and "Pepsi Max" at Blackpool Pleasurebeach. -
Which parks have changed the most?
Menghini replied to AT0527's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What about "Toverland" in the Netherlands? It's a relatively new park. I think it started as a large indoor fair for children and is now already adding the biggest wooden GCI-coaster! I tend to go there this year! -

Too bad... The teaser was promising... -

Interesting... I didn't know they also owned Southport. Though it is kind of obvious ("pleasurebeach"). So it's not very surprising they moved Infusion... -
Phantasialand Discussion Thread

Topple Tower sounded intereting... But a suspended top spin? Hmm, I hope themeing, etc. will be good. -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Menghini replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, those punches, isn't that just the machinery? Mack has probably a somewhat different system, so it's possible. I must say that the movement on all madhouses are a bit crappy when you really are focusing on it. -
Tilt Coaster!?!?!
Menghini replied to incredicoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow! I always wanted to see a POV from this one. Doesn't Vekoma have a modification on this one? A "lift-tilt-coaster"? -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Menghini replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
@CGM: well, somewhere you're probably right. I'm also a bit biased because I'm dutch... Hex is a very good one, it's creepy, really a thrill. Location is very good chosen. But I still don't understand why the room has to turn upside down. As you said for VV: it's just a curse, but what about Hex? Those experiments on the branch? Hex's story is the thing I don't really understand, especially in combination with a madhouse. On VV: great themeing, the shows are great (at least when you're dutch...), the story is great, soundtrack (CGM, you know the soundtrack?) is perfect and just the -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Menghini replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hex is a nice madhouse, when I arrived at Alton I thought that the castle should have a ride like that, and that was the case! But it was a bit too dark and a bit vague why the room would have to turn upside down... The first madhouse of this type is still the best for me: "Villa Volta" at the Efteling. -
I'd love to read it!
