^The landscaping on DK seems to have improved now with shambala next to it but I assumed they would be similar in intensity as it was built just 2 years after kumba. That's a ride I really want to try as DK is my no 1 coaster.

Haha! Very guilty! Actually, last year before I went on a trip to a few US parks I went looking for both shorts and trousers with zipper pockets (and it was quite tricky!)

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted but..... TRAINS!

^I don't know how they were when the ride opened but having ridden it quite a few times last summer I noticed they were WAYYYY slower later in the night than during the rest of the day. As I had flash pass platinum I got two rides in a row and for both of them I had to sit in the brake run while the two trains in front of me were dispatched and it took a very long time. I mean, I assume they were tired but if they could be much faster earlier in the day why did that happen?

This. As good as Montu and Alpengeist are... Kumba is miles ahead of every other coaster at either Busch Gardens park. It's world class. I haven't ridden Kumba but as I've heard it's on the same level as Dragon Khan, therefore I agree

^What's really the point of those things??

Was Hydra the last one?

^I've never been to SFSL but I imagine The Boss wouldn't be a great choice as it isn't exactly smooth, I think.

Nice to see the tower up and running. I like how it has stuff written under the seats (the name and so on)

^Interesting question. I would also like to have something. The only time I remember seeing a coaster part for sale was in the TPR store page where I saw this vekoma wheel.

Haha! I know what that's like. Once I also ran all the way from the entrance of Portaventura to the China area to get one last ride on Shambhala and Dragon Khan. Pretty exhausting.

^Really cool shot! Looks awesome!

Goliath. Iron Rattler or New Texas Giant?

I actually have meat overall but I can stand some white meat, so that's the one I'd pick. Maverick or Ispeed?

Well it's great just to hear banshee being compared to oldschool inverts like Raptor and Montu (especially as it seems to have warmed up)

^Another superman clone??

Oh I thought it would have lap bars just like the Maurer Sohne ones. Well at least they are comfortable.

[quote name="PhantomNick"the fact that it resides 4 and a half hours from me!! That awesome thing needs to be closer. Could be worse, like 8 hours by plane As well as 6 by car to the closest decent coaster

^Storm runner is awesome. I'm surprised it hasn't been featured yet.

Kingda Ka

^That's also what happened between the two superman's helices

I agree, it surely looked imposing but this fits the are a lot more nicely (and that also makes the ride even better)

Sorry, but the idea of someone getting scalped on a ride and the way people believe it is hilarious!!

That's one effective way of finishing the discussion
