The park doesn't have an Immelman, but still I hope what ever is planned for 2013 has no inversions. I think some reasons SFMM hasn't installed another launched coaster is b/c of the cost to operate a launched coaster. They already have a money hog with S:EFK electricity is expensive in CA, and knowing SFMM they would probably want a launched coaster that would top S:EFK launch or at least top Xcels and with LIM/LSM that's expensive. Then the second option is the Rocket or Air launched coaster, that could get them the extreme speed the park would like but it's a big risk since both of these models are not known for being reliable and are maintenance nightmares. I could be completely and totally wrong on this though lol All I want is an Intamin Giga after that they can get all the launched coasters and inversions they want

No, there will be no trims. We asked this question to Kurt Bachmann on our tour the other day and he said there will be no trims on SkyRush. So sorry, but your hunch is wrong. ^This Also most coasters don't have trims especially Intamins so I don't know where your getting your history from unless your getting your history from B&M then yes the majority of their coasters have trims. -

I love the colors of this coaster and the layout looks like it will be awesome, I just hate how it runs right over Dragon Kahn the way it does Oh well here's to hoping I get to ride it one day and hope it's not trimmed to death. -
How would they get *118 degree overbanked turns on Colossus without a complete rebuild??? They were able to do it easily on Ntag b/c it's only one track, on Colossus with the tracks so close together there would have to be some major re-engineering to get that to work. I do think I would like Colossus changed that much if it is getting the Iron Horse treatment restoring it back to the original specs would be more then enough imo

Imo I think some are taking the Go Big Cam a little to literal, the theme of the video was to keep your New Years Resolution, Her resolution was to get into shape. By the end of the video after she has ran around the park exercising she stops in front of Wonder Women's golden lasso and says "I hope I look like that by 2013". She's referring to the giant cardboard cut out of Wonder Women, what women wouldn't want to look like that. Again this is just Imo but I really don't think SFMM plans is to put a Female Super hero theme Giga coaster in Log Jammers spot.

Well like they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in my eyes this thing is beautiful!!!! I love the industrial look of this lifthill, the steepness, the size of it is just crazy I find this lifthill to be just stunning. Then add the rest of the coaster the layout,the elements, the location, the eye popping color, that sexy Intamin track and this thing just becomes a work of art in my eyes. I'm in love with this thing lol -

Wow they got that up fast, and for it to only be 180 feet at *45 degrees it looks huge and steep imo not feeling those colors but oh well. I can't wait to see what the rest of the layout is going to look like. -

What's worse is the comments people left: Oh please you couldn't detect the sarcasm in my post, I posted that to sound as stupid as the guy asking SFMM to build another Deja vu after just getting rid of one. Next time i'll add a lol smiley face or j/k so people will know I'm just kidding and being a smart a$$ -

Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
Gigalyte replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I actually like it better with it painted in the same color as the rest of the supports instead of the same color as the track. Anyways Imo that is one ugly drop looks like something out of RCT, standing facing the drop it looks great but from other angles it looks very weird and RCTish imo.
