Six Flags Mexico (SFM) Discussion Thread
GeorgeT replied to zburns999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Jepp, saw that either. I wonder why it`s so hard to look for safety while being a "little" careful so people feel comfortable when riding. Think I saw and heard of that too many times with different coasters. NOT good... -

RMC - How much is too much of a good thing?
GeorgeT replied to Kenny B's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I´d like to say that askimg if RMC ist "the" new B&M...I think that just doesn`t fit ! I mean...RMC ist defined via spectacular "never seen before" elements....highly intense coasters...while B&M was more the "play it save" thing for parks to do... So IMHO the question is : Is RMC the new Intamin mega, giga, hyper replacement ? Is RMC the new Intamin prefab woodie ? Is it a replacenmet when parks are asking for intense trill machines ? I`d say....probably yes. I don`t know for how long....but I guess some deals that Intamin would have made now go to RMC. Just my guess...just like mack is taking away a lot of orders with their highly comfortable lauchers....and now even the ability to build a real megalite alternative like seen in Nigloland. I have no real insight in the business....but I feel these may be hard times for Intamin cause the got a lot of competition with Mack and RMC. -

GeorgeT replied to Hhappy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Ummmm...no. Just ask your physics teacher...higher seats lead to MORE Airtime, and I guess that`s why hanno liked the ride. Are there some Intamin or Piraten fanyboys out there who have a hard time accepting that Mack probably did a good job here ? -

GeorgeT replied to Hhappy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I mean...Hanno said that he had a blast on it....and that it feels very similar to the megalites. I guess that says a lot more about the ride than all our speculation about how good it actually ist -

Surely if the seats are further away from the track (higher) and the train's speed and track are the same, the fact the height away from the track means the forces are more intense as the centrifugal forces are more? Like on a carousel the further away from the center you are the faster you are moving? That`s correct. Higher seats mean higher forces in this case ! About the pacing : We should give the ride a little time...Blue Fire gained some speed during the first few weeks. I think the ride looks really good -

He guys...seriously : I think we should all boycott that park. I really think it`s wrong that the park is getting any more money from communities who can "warn" each other ! They should really get in huge financial trouble for treating the visitors like that IMHO. -

Oh wow...am I the only one thinking that Holiday Parl is shaping up verrrrrrrry nicely ? Seems to offer so much more in the future, especially for the eyes, than just those AMAZING Geforce Rides -
Most heavily themed theme park

Talking about themed toilets at Europa Park : Theres a quite new one in the enchanted forest with an animatronic peeing next to you...and he`s singing -
Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014
GeorgeT replied to msep003's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is it so hard to see it once from the parks perspective ? Mack ist above Intamin when it comes to quality AND reliability ! And if the coaster is a bit tamer than the original megalites doesn`t mean that it won`t be an amazing coaster ! Maybe you need to have ridden Blue Fire to have an idea how good the Mack Concept is Looking forward to riding it this summer -

When it comes to the level of theming, Disney is hard to beat. But when it`s about a certain style that people prefer, then parks like Phantasialand, Europa (Realistic theming) of Efteling (fairytale style) can be ahead of Disney... Me for example, I see Disneyland Paris as the most themed park in Europe, but I prefer Phantasialand by a mile ! -
Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014
GeorgeT replied to msep003's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As the Mack Megacoaster train, especially the type of restraints, is still the best one out there IMHO, experiencing an airtime filled layout with those trains could be heavenly -

Thanks for sharing. The most spectacular thing there seems to be the weather...oh wait...maybe the nonstop bumpercars driving -

Nigloland! New Coaster for 2014
GeorgeT replied to msep003's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well if it`s true that this coaster is gonna deliver 9 (!) moments of airtime, then we`re probably looking at the first serious competitor of the megalites here I`m sooooo interested in the actual layout...
