^Not sure about Leviathan, but I know Silver Bullet has magnetic brakes. It's not out of the relm of possibility for this ride to have them too. -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

1. The break run is long, and I'm sure there's a reason. One of the theories which I think may have some truth is the theory about I305's wheel problems and this is how B&M plans to solve it, with a longer breakrun to slow the ride down at a more relaxed pace to ease the wheels of gradually. Essentially, its a cool down for the wheels. 2. Money. This is already a very costly investment for Cedar Fair. 3. Once again, money. Trains with onboard audio are much more expensive to buy & maintain over time. 4. The location where it is to be built within the park would not allow for such a maneuver. 5.One foot? Try more like 25 ft. Personally I'm looking forward to riding this as is....it's a B&M Giga! -
Coolest station you've seen
SoCalCoasters replied to Eric_Smith's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I really like the simplicity of California Screamin's station. The other two stations I really liked were ShieKra's and my favorite station of all time is: Manta's...nothing beats the awesomeness that is that queue/ride station/facade... -

^ Funny you say that, as Folf and I were recently trying out a concept of what Areo Wolrd would look now adays in RCT3...with this update, maybe we'll get down and start building! -
If I consider just Legoland to be my home park (I'm within biking distance) as my home park, here is my list: Knott's: Sierra Sidewinder Pony Express Windseeker SeaWorld SD: Journey To Atlantis Lighthouse 4D Lights Camera Imagination Bay Of Play Riptide Rescue Disneyland Resort: Space Mountain 2005 Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Captain EO Tribute Goofy's Sky School Silly Syphony Swings Little Mermaid California's Great America: Tiki Twirl Six Flags Discovery Kingdom: Pandemonium Thomas Town Busch Gardens Tampa: Cheetah Hunt That's all...

Bonfonte/Gilroy Gardens if I recall correctly is owned by the city, but operated by Cedar Fair. I doubt the city would approve of such an enormous addition to their park when it didn't actually turn a profit until last year...although expansion is welcome when you consider their relatively high prices for tickets...

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

^ Top Thrill is a launched coaster with completely different elements at their flagship park. The height of it was so it could be a record breaker. -
GAME: What's worse than...

SFMM announcing a Flash themed launch coaster that goes 160 mph into trims and a 0 airtime layout. What's Worse than being forced to ride It's A Small World for 12 hours straight?
