Back when I was younger and we could afford to go traveling I visited the US quite frequently. Sadly, I wasn't into coasters back then, which is a shame considering some of the states I visited (we have friends in NJ who we visited almost every year) had some of the best coasters in the world. Alaska California Connecticut Florida Massachusetts New York New Jersey Washington

Wow, Gold Striker is really going up fast!

I think he was high when he made this post... TBH I have a hard time believing he was genuine. His spelling, grammar and facts are too stupid for him to have been serious, he's most likely a troll. I hope.

New Fantasyland. Katun or iSpeed?

That would really suck, Wild Mouse is an awesome ride and I really enjoyed my ride on it. I wouldn't be surprised though, with the amount of Pleasure Beach's classic rides that have been removed in the last few years. Oh well, at least I have the Blackpool Wild Mouse's not quite as intense cousin near me.

Sorry I went a bit off topic, it was just something I noticed and I didn't want to create a whole new thread about it haha. But on topic, I've always found the layout of Huracan at Belantis very odd. It's like Gerstlauer tried to make a B&M-like layout with the Cobra Roll and Interlocking Corkscrews.

That looks awesome! Hope that's the real layout. By the way, it's not an inch taller than Gatekeeper as Gatekeeper will be 170ft tall according to RCDB.

Starry Sky Ripper looks amazing! Those first 3 inversions are insane, I'm sure that part of the ride is pretty disorientating! On the topic of Hair Raiser being rough, I did notice a slight rattle when I was there, but I never received any head banging. I got a bit of a headache after my third ride, but that was likely due to the heat and me being dehydrated combined with the intensity of the ride rather than any roughness. Sorry if this was answered in previous posts, but how does Hair Raiser compare with the likes of Superman Krypton Coaster and Kraken in your opinion?

It's not so much a layout thing, but more an odd track. Has anyone else noticed that a number of Arrow's later coasters have a different track design to their earlier models? The ties are more rounded than the usual Arrow track. Small difference, I know, but I found it odd. Was it a track design that Arrow decided to test in their later coasters? Coasters I've noticed with this different track are Tenessee Tornado, Pepsi Max Big One, Desperado and an Arrow looper in Kuwait. Normal track: Varient track:

I hope you went to her and explained that she's wrong and stupid. Okay, maybe not the last thing.

Now that it's on RCDB I guess you could add Sea World, Australia's new Watercoaster. Not sure what made RCDB add it to the database, but hopefully that means it's confirmed.

Good pics. I really need to ride T Express one day. Can I just say you're very generous with your scores lol. Giving a "piece of crap" a 7/10 and a Vekoma Junior Coaster an 8/10 is very kind, but I think T Express probably earned it's 10/10.

Oh my god whyyyyyyyyyyyyy Apparently it's really awesome.

I actually REALLY liked Saw the Ride at Thorpe Park and think it's by far the best coaster in the park. It has a great combination of airtime, intensity and theming, and the head banging wasn't too bad. I found Colossus much more painful. In fact I actually didn't like Colossus at all, despite all the love it seems to get on here. I've ridden smoother Arrow loopers. It's only good points for me is the awesome setting it has and its heartline roll finale, which was smooth and intense.

It looked like a nice woodie. Shame to see it go to waste.

Is it weird that the part that bothers me the most is the fact they called the Swarm "extreme"?

http://www.rcdb.com/m/11050.htm Looks like the knockoff Skyloop is going to "Jangfu Park" in Beijing. The most terrifying thing IMO is that this thing is going to have shoulder harnesses This thing may actually be lethal.

Holy crap, it almost doesnt look real! It looks like a kickass coaster someone would build in No Limits but never expect to be built in real life.

On King's Island Facebook page: Really? People aren't allowed to have an opinion on a crappy coaster?

Argh, I was hoping you'd say Big Grizzly Mountain was a bad ride. I'm still pretty sore about being in Hong Kong 2 days before it's opening date.

Just started listening to Pink's new album The Truth About Love and cant stop listening to it hah As a fan of fun. I especially enjoyed the song "Just Give Me A Reason" featuring Nate Ruess. That needs to be released as a single. Now.

Some kid was explaining to me how Lethal Weapon (SLC) is the best coaster in the world while having a conversation about local parks. I bit my tongue and decided to ignore his comment and change the subject.

Be Calm - fun.

I'm sure the lift would feel weird. For a few minutes you're going up headfirst as you would on a drop tower before getting tilted onto your stomach... awesomely screwed up lol I wonder why no other park has bothered purchasing one of these.
