How long until you can tell us, Robb? Or can you not tell us that?

http://rcdb.com/3408.htm Pretty sure they're referring to this thing, which looks like an El Loco, but seems to be a custom screamin' squirrel. It is also older than any "real" El Loco. Copying and pasting the Japanese name of the ride gave me this relatively new video-

This looks like 10% RCT2, 90% Farmville. RIP RCT franchise.

The GP does not care about clones (unless they are YouTube GP.) Case in point - Boomerangs and SLCs. Of course, said YouTube GP will go one step further and call it a clone of I305. The GP also will think that a non-looping small coaster with no unique tricks is a kiddie coaster. It's sad, really.

I personally think it is a fun ride. I love the "jojo roll" and first drop in the back. It isn't very forceful, but isn't 100% forceless either, and is unique either way.

I think they stopped that after 2012, if I remember correctly. I am annoyed that they keep saying that Gerstlauer made NTAG. They made the trains. I know that RMC would not be as much at fault as Gerstlauer if the ride design was at fault (Yes, I know airtime, but that is perfectly safe as long as the restraints are designed perfectly, which is Gerstlauer's job.) However, is it really that hard to say that Gerstlaur made NTAG's trains?

I've asked this before, but never have gotten a response - how bad is NTAG on overweight people now that it has seatbelts? Better or worse than Toro?

While Maverick is more twisty than airtime by length, the airtime hills are huge highlights. It's main airtime hill is awesome in the back and even better up front (not much, they're both good seats for the hill) and the first drop in the back is amazingly crazy.

When CP turns to B&M, they are certainly looking for family thrill and over priced ride. GK looks great but I just don't think it deserves that much money. Keep in mind that they also had to redo the whole front of the park and tear down two rides.

CCMR and Iron Dragon are CP's mid-level family coasters. Well, they would be, if not for height restrictions. Luckily, CP seems to be conforming to more "normal" restrictions on newer rides (the new mat racer is 42", and GK and Banshee are/will be 52", not 54" (which I think is X-Flight's restriction.))

Iron Dragon was probably my first "big" coaster, not counting Woodstock Express (which is not that small, or at least seems bigger than it does.) If it was a 48" height restriction at that time, my first coaster might as well have been Magnum (the first coaster I rode after I became 48" tall.)

No. You blame Cedar Fair. They have done this in many other of their parks, not just the ones in Ohio. They are based in Ohio, so could they be modelling their parks after Ohio state laws?

Bad news, apparently, according to a Cedar Point News twitter- "@cedarpointnews: Iron Dragon's height requirement has been changed from 46" to 48" for the 2014 season."

About to start a shit storm here, but was it forceless?

If Dragon Wagons or Miner Mikes are roller coasters, Pipe Scream should be, too. Not saying that it is or isn't, I'm just being logical.

That first idea would be good for a Disney thrill ride. Only maybe downsized to 100-200 feet with an extended layout like Xcelerator, or even more small like Kanonen.

_koppen?

Does Namtab run with two trains? Are both backwards?

That is an accurate statement considering some of those causes of death (especially plane crashes) are quite unlikely themselves.

I remember Zeus beating the hell out of me back around 2007-2008.

I know very little about Jeff Johnson. All I know is that he is old and has a very loose definition of a credit.

Actually, the Boomerang is a quite innovative layout, at least it was. Then it became cliche. Think about it - what other layout combines GP-attracting inversions into such a tiny space. It might not be the "best" layout, but it is a layout that can suck in an unfamiliar GP.

Good thing I got to "credit whore" Gr8 Sk8! Is that a Jeff Johnson credit?

That would be the scariest scooters in the world ! Don't call it a family-friendly ride anymore ! The restraints on Scooters are way too small for this, but if you use Windseeker-esque restraints combined with a good rudder, it could work out. I love interactive and dynamic rides! As for the Flying Dutchman shuttle, I know that long ago, on the RCT1/2 website nedesigns.com, there was once a trend where a flying car would reverse a la Expedition Everest (through trainers and track merging in game) and go through the circuit feet-first. The idea was called a "luge coaster."
