I love those first two shots. Call me a weirdo, but I like roller coaster shots without trains in them better than with. -
No, because iRat is closer to where I live. Do you think iRat will be better than nTag?

I've been on both of the American ToT rides, and as much as I want them to be ejector air, I don't think it really hits the mark... For me, at least. The ride's signature "OH S***" drop seems to be right in between the borders of Floater and Ejector for me. Let's just call that kind of airtime "Flector" airtime or something for now.

^ I wish that statement could make sense but it doesn't. I think you forgot two more options in here: Sudden and Sustained. To me there's four types of airtime. Between sudden and sustained alongside floater and ejector, I prefer sustained floater airtime the most. Notable examples of my favorite moments of this include Magnum's second airtime hill, Wild Thing's first airtime hill, Goliath's "Only good part of the ride" hill, and Apocalypse (SFMM)'s first airtime hill. I prefer this kind over any of the others for a few reasons, with the main one being that it's rather relaxing and adds to the ride's pacing when periods of intense Gs are broken up by weightlessness. Just my opinion though, and keep in mind I haven't really expirienced legit sustained ejector air before (other than on Maverick, which I don't remember all that well).

I'm liking this a lot already. Reminds me a lot of Hydra and Raptor if you ask me. What station are you basing yours off of, if any? -

Best Roller Coaster "Moments"
Randomman295 replied to Randomman295's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wait, how did I forget about this one in the original post? I have one more to add for now: Steel Venom's Intense Back Spire It may seem pretty boring from a distance, but you have to ride this one or one like it to know exactly what I'm talking about. On the second time up the back spire, the bulky supports get put to use and the entire train gets held. At the top. For an entire second. If you aren't expecting it (which I'm sure as hell I wasn't), it scares the crap out of you, and with my first ride being in the back seat, the way back down really scared the crap out of me with the insane drop out of the spire. -
Not all that long. Having ADD, I can't stay on the same thing for longer than a half an hour, so they usually don't take much longer than that. The one here that took the longest to make was The Black Death because I wanted it to be at least 1300 feet long and it took several tries to get that right.

^How about at Fuji-Q? 2 people trying to operate Dodonpa on a saturday would make for some high tension drama. -

I'm kind of surprised I didn't hear any voice chops. I'm assuming that means that it's smooth for a Vekoma loopscrew? Looks decent from what I can tell. -

It's kind of like a less-crappy version of SFMM's Viper with an Immelmann/Sidewinder thrown in there. That element does look a bit out of place, but other than that minor complaint, I really like this! Great job. -
I just got Uncharted Two. Now for the fun part: Wading through 4 years of multiplayer updates just to play singleplayer. Seriously, why can't more update systems be like Motorstorm's? In that game you only had to update the singleplayer game if you were going to do the singleplayer game, and likewise with the multiplayer.

Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Randomman295 replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Wow. I'm actually a little bit surprised that this isn't breaking the height restrictions for Alton. -
I made a rave a while back about BattleBlock Theater, but it's also worth mentioning how good the soundtrack is. Listen for yourself:
