Awesome video Hanno! This has really made Liseberg a MUST visit now! (even if balder wasn't enough) Looks like a great ride: airtime, inversions, nice pacing and proper length. Well done Mack and Liseberg!

And then send the ideas to the parks

Suspended

Here you go. 1979. Thanks. Actually, I do remember starting to watch this POV but as the speed wasn't great through the first half (and at that moment I was trying to find a really fast one) I didn't really see all of it so I had no idea it didn't have those trims here. Based on how little banking there was, I can only imagine the ridiculous laterals it produced!

I have never ridden the last two but talon is great, I don't understand it either.

^Maybe, the trains seem quite "tall" so it is possible that it isn't quite hearlined. Still, I'm not sure if, at that speed, it will make much of a difference (unlike blue fire's roll)

^The thing is that I am distracted from the airtime and overall awesomeness of the ride by the pain. I find that the only way to avoid it is holding firmly onto the bars next to you that lead to the restraints. However, I am one of those people who likes to ride with their hands up and if I don't, I will never hold the restraints in a normal situation as I like to feel "loose" and kind of "deliver myself" to the coaster. So I don't really like that I can't do it here. But it does really depend on the person, I had no problems whatsoever with wildcat's restrains (even though I found the ride itself horribly rough) and also had no big issues with magnum xl's restraints either, while many do (I mean, they are uncomfortable, but I feel like I wouldn't penalize the ride for that, while with syrush...). The thing is, I remember someone once saying (here) that in order to enjoy mantis you had to know how to ride it to which someone replied that whenever you have to "know how to ride" any coaster, it's never a good sign. Of course there are techniques that allow for minor improvements on some rides with slightly rough edges (like preparing yourself for the snap in an old B&M invert corkscrew and stuff like that) but you shouldn't have to. And that's how I feel about skyrush and the reason I complain is because I am quite frustrated that such a good ride (that would be undeniably my no one coaster if it didn't have this issue) has this partially ruining it (in my opinion). In fact, I do believe that it would have ranked higher in the MH poll if it weren't for that (even though it is only two years old) because it was just so much more intense and insane than anything I had ridden (and also for some more people) that I think it would have all the conditions to rank 1 (or at least in the top 3) and it didn't. And this is mainly an enthusiasts poll, not some random one.

Two awesome songs. Still, I haven't figured out my list just yet.

Mega Coaster

Granted. You would buy them all brand new and would go broke quickly! I wish all rough wooden coasters would get a RMC treatment.

Closer to the front it might be okay. But further into the back you can get some nasty little yet unpleasant vibrations.

Great photos! I know this is no big deal, but does anyone know why, on the bottom of the lift, they use so many drive tyres? It looks like B&M has been using lots of them (in that place) for their newer rides.

Yes, but it's only around 90ft above ground... Just lower than this new ride.. My guess is they pull an oblivion & build a tunnel. I think the 37 meters, or something like that, refer to the height of the drop, right?

This. This EXACTLY! And it's all the whimpy people that complain about it is why we can't have nice things and will probably never see another ride with as extreme airtime built in the USA. I have to admit, before I rode it that's the exact opinion I had. However, when I did ride it I was amazed at its awesomeness but, most of all, disappointed because of how much the restraints hurt me. From what I've heard, I guess some people tolerate it a lot more easily than others. My problem was that I wanted the enjoy the great ride but couldn't because they gave me serious pain. And this is not me being a pussy because I will tolerate some discomfort in exchange for a great ride but not some horrible pain. I have heard many saying that, with such an extreme ride, it will never be 100% comfortable and I agree with that up to a point because I don't think that we have to accept something like this. Would I rather have an ordinary yet comfortable ride instead? No, I wouldn't. But I seriously would like to see someone addressing this issue as I believe something can be done because the restraints, in my opinion, are simply poorly designed: they don't really adapt to the shaping of most legs, the area that holds you is too small and they should be further back. So when I complain it's not because I don't want to see more rides like that being built but simply because I would like it to be perfect. I ranked it 3rd in the MH poll and would have put it in first if it was minimally comfortable. So if Hershey doesn't do anything about it, I would, at least, like to see intamin improving that aspect on their future rides. And these new lapbars the have been fitting to their new rides already seem an improvement. This is just my personal opinion, so I don't really expect everyone to agree. By the way, storm runner looks great with its new paint.

Man I would have liked to see a POV of that!

Great POV! Looks fun! Like..... superman!

So... how good is it?

Looks good. And makes a kind of funny noise too.

Wow that first turn looks so funky! And what can I say about the last picture....? TWISTYYYY!

Granted. But poisonous snakes could. I wish I could get some new credits this summer (and no, no SLCs )

The details on the train really are impressive. Very cool!

The thing is that either it was slightly loose or it was not super tight but quite firmly holding my legs (that's the thing with these ratchet restraints) so I chose to leave it a bit more open. However, after the turnaround I accidentally (and it didn't require much) locked it one more click. This is something I wouldn't do on rides with stronger air. I did it there because it's only floater air and it was perfectly fine. When I got my first ride on skyrush I did tighten it properly, although, by the end, it was even more (quite painfully)

I think I can't answer as I don't really know, when building a ride, how much of it is the park's responsibility and how much it is the maker's. I would really like to work as an engineer but then I couldn't just build whatever ride I wanted to, so I don't really know.

^Are Vekoma family coasters still uncomfortable? I thought that would only happen with some bigger rides.

In that case in did it on shambhala, but it wasn't huge and I tried to pull myself out of the seat to check I couldn't come out.
