Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think topper track with no layout changes would be perfectly "ethical" and would give the ride some more "life", making it smoother, also allowing the trims to be removed,.... However, as it has been pointed out, it's a matter of cost given the length of the ride. -
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT Discussion Thread)

^They probabyl just received 2''. B&M inverts usually have at least 3 meters of vertical clearance (on un-banked turns) so at least Montu's track is safe. It's "safer" but I've seen a piece of Great Bear's track fully underwater, so it's not guaranteed. (but still less likely) -

Here it has been great, lately: around 80 and clear skies. -

^They're both good for different reasons, but I think the first is the funniest. -

Fantastic news then! Great to know! Not so great to hear about the seatbelts, though. -
Weird roller coasters.

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

^It does go against the park rules, so you shouldn't obviously do it. But this was a question that had been raised here before and I think all foss123 was trying to do was to clear it, nothing more. -

^No one is saying you should take them off but the fact is that B&M have 12 coasters that use those restraints with no seatbelts (until now) some of which have been running since 1999 without a single incident. So I think it's fair to say that you're perfectly safe without them. -

^Last summer when I rode nitro I found there was quite a rough spot on the bottom of the first drop. I've also heard people complaining about the overall lack of smoothness (this I can't confirm myself). I don't know exactly what can be done to improve this but it probably is more important than painting parts of the station (which is still better than nothing, though). But I'll wait to see how far they go taking care of it.

^ Maybe it's still cheaper than the steel track?? (have no idea) -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^We had this discussion a couple of pages back. I got the impression that while many think it could get a coaster for next year, some think it will only happen in 2016. -

^Granted, you wouldn't have to wait because you would be on a wheelchair for the rest of your life. I wish B&M stepped into the launched coaster area. -

Six Flags Mexico (SFM) Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to zburns999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I couldn't find a picture of NTaG but IR's transfer track (at least part of it) is made of steel. This confirms that we can now have a new type of hybrid: half of the layout is steel (with RMC's I-box track and normal steel supports) and the other half is wood (topper track)! That would be interesting. -

^Nice to hear that, overall, there hasn't been much stacking as I thought that having three trains on a ride of that duration would make it very difficult to avoid it. Hope it continues like that
