Yeah and it would of been gorgeous if the project was approved!
-
Since SFMM has Tatsu's EggTurn can HW Thunderbird's Immelman be now known as the Eggelman lol or is that to much
Anyways Thunderbird looks like it's going to awesome and I still can't believe this coaster is being constructed at Holiday World
-
I predict double Super loops
-
So the original Colossus was 125 tall 115 foot drop with max speed of 62 mph. So why would RMC shorten the height to 121, yet make a bigger drop at 128 and come up with a slower max speed at 57 mph? I'm totally confused on this.
-
TTD/KK that launch, the up and over is a few seconds of pure coaster heaven
I305 that first drop and those twisties
Skyrush shooting up the lifthill and being literally thrown into that drop AIRTIME!!!
El Toro again that first drop and the airtime galore
Green Lantern is just freaking insane those sudden gut wrenching drops and flips just leave you like
Scandia Screamer lol looks like a big carny coaster but that thing hauls major a$$, it hit's those flat turns so fast I thought it was going to leave the track the lats are insane and with those sudden ejector air drops this is one deceiving evil little coaster and it's awesome.
Manhattan Express the theme of this thing is down right perfect , what better city to put a coaster that leaves you feeling like you've been drug into a dark alleyway then beaten and robbed
-
That is gorgeous!!! only thing I hope is that it rides as good as it looks, which in B&Ms case they have some absolutely visually stunning rides but they leave a lot to be desired when it comes to the actually ride imo
-
I guess I'll be the odd ball and go with Six Flags, I've been to every CF park in the chain except for MA and Canada's Wonderland and the only one I have any desire to go back to is Cedar Point. I've never had these horrendous experiences at SF flags parks that it seam like so many around here have and I'll gladly take SFGADv, SFGAm, SFOG and SFMM any day over the majority of CF parks except for Cedar Point is just amazing IMO.
-
I've been on both and I'll gladly take Full Throttle over GateSleeper, I haven't been on a ride that big, that gorgeous and that boring since Intimidator Carrowinds I was thinking well maybe it's just b/c it's a cold opening day for GK and as it runs through out the day the sleeping beast will awaken. Well I rode GK all day and into the night and that sleeping beast stayed sleep lol.
Full Throttle on the other hand may not be the most biggest baddest or most intense but the launch is nice, the hang time is nutts and the air over the loophat was way more then I expected overall the ride is just flat out fun and night rides are totally kick a$$ imo
-
Wow that makes me think of didn't someone just recently post a topic about being able to see airtime in a pic or just by looking at a hill? Well after watching this video and seeing the train take that hill you can not only see the airtime I felt it through my computer screen
-
I'm glad that the construction cam is finally up. http://content.sixflags.com/comingin2014/greatamerica/goliath/
Wow is this the first SF park to use a live web cam or a web in in general to cover a construction project??? I know it's the first one I can recall, I know CF usually has webcams for their projects I hope more SF parks start using webcam coverage.
-
Wow they keep going at that rate they should have no problems getting this thing open for that December opening, Vegas is looking very awesome this year with New years in Vegas plus a new coaster
-
Taken from SFGAm facebook Goliaths Trains looks awesome
RMC is very quickly becoming my favorite coaster manufacture behind Intamin, RMC is really producing some amazing rides and trains
-
That has to be the longest 2400 feet of track EVER!!! lol but seriouly that looks totally awesome from the theme to the ride everything just looks WOW After seeing this the other parks that announced Family rides/ Area's like CP and SFMM need to go back to the drawing board immediately
-
i305!!! FTW with Skyrush coming in a very close second place for best drop on a steel imo
-
This is a hard one for me since I could easily ride any of this Intamin's over and over for the rest of my life MF, i305, Skyrush, Maverick and El toro but since I can only pick one I think it will be Maverick since it has a little bit of everything launches, crazy drop and turns, inversions and airtime
-
If they build anything like a Giga version of Skyrush I'm buying a Carrowinds Season pass and a Tent to live in lol
-
I'm wondering if it would be possible to make the seats 4d!!!, a 300 foot 4d version would be insane
-
^NO!!! GL is not that bad well IMO I happen to love the ride and think it's one of the most intense craziest rides on the planet
-
I've never had the desire to go to Turkey but I do now!!! how can you not love Intamin just look at that thing, it's like you can feel the airtime just looking at that hill and those sexy curves and that cute little train I'm in love lol
-
So even a regional park like Carrowinds will have a giga before any of the major parks in the SF chain will, at one time I would of put money on SFMM getting a giga. I mean you would think a park that bills itself as the xtreme park would've been jumped on such an extreme coaster, seams like the perfect fit Can we expect Michigan Adventure to get their Giga before SFMM
Anyways I can't wait to hear the stats and see the layout of this thing, I love Giga coasters the first drop and the speed of these things is just unbeatable imo. Even though I 100% prefer Intamin I do wonder what B&Ms second offering on the Giga would be, would it be more classic B&M vanilla or would they through some flavor into this second batch. Yet when you think about it, it took what 6 Wingriders before they spiced things up with Heide parks which is the 6th and looks amazing.
-
I'm wondering if that is the Wingover Drop Darien Lake was talking about in it's concept of Lake Monster??? either way that first drop on the New Medusa looks sick!!! as does Goliath at SFGAm RMC is really on a roll
-
^From CP website these are the early entry rides available
GateKeeper, Ocean Motion, Midway Carousel, Raptor, Millennium Force, Iron Dragon, Maverick and Planet Snoopy.

Coaster looks great!!! B&M inverts are my favorite model by them
What I don't get though is the pricing? Why did this coaster cost $24 mill dollars that seam very expensive for an older model coaster that's not even over 200 feet tall and under 5000 feet in length. Leviathan cost $28 mill and it's a Giga coaster so I can see when the $25 million and up figures are coming from those things are huge!!! but an inverted for $24 mill
Could be the new trains is what made this thing so expensive???
-
Looks like the drop B&M was going for on that floorless coaster Nitro, yet the Intamin version flows better and looks more visually applealling imo
Unusual flat ride
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

Ok now that looks fun!!! I don't know who made it but I'd love to ride one, one day!
