The infamous Rollback!
Retro_Gaga replied to themeparkman25's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Care to explain? I think he means when superman shuts down and the car doesn't stop in the station and rolls out the back into the emergency brakes. As can be seen here. -
Shockwave Question
Retro_Gaga replied to Retro_Gaga's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I can tell, you had to arch your necks to fit, that could cause many injuries. Glad you made it out fine. -
I was watch Coaster Expedition Volume 2 and I saw that they actually let people ride backwards. Now was this just for TPR, or do they do it all the time?

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Retro_Gaga replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
People these days don't know what going to far is..... This is just a little bit of crude humor and isn't of any real offense, people just don't know what crude humor is anymore. Going to far is like using 9/11 as a theme for an area or maze. That is going to far. Just putting fake skeletons representing dead celebrities isn't offensive, there is nothing vulgar or in bad taste. I actually think it's quite funny. -

Incident at Radja River. Walibi Belgium
Retro_Gaga replied to Miltonmx's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
IMO really nothing but try to pull them out of the water. If in that area they go under a raft in the current, their done and if the river is drained the raft crushes them. Unless they stop the current in time. I wonder what the exact procedure is though. -

What makes a rough coaster?
Retro_Gaga replied to spacemtfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My best guess would be that the back is being pulled by the rest of the train, whipping it through everything faster than the front. That's really only a guess and could be completely wrong. Also if a track is badly designed ( like others have stated ) that could amplify the roughness of the backseat because again it's moving faster through the elements than front. -
What makes a rough coaster?

^^ As said above The reason it's different with B&M is because their trains wheels are all on the track at all times. No space to move, providing a very smooth ride. Basically the wear and tear over time is the biggest reason for roughness.
