^I've never seen the doors working but the rest yes. This time the only thing I noticed was that the screen wasn't working but the monkey on the bicycle was. -

Great pictures and great offride shots! I noticed, while watching those videos, that banshee sounds a little bit different from other loud B&Ms. Is it just from the videos or am I actually correct? Also, for those who've ridden it, how did the loops feel? Any different from the other inverts? Because they look slightly more circular. -

^Wow the place really is packed today! P.S. That overflow queue area must provide some nice angles of banshee's drop. I love when you can get so close to the actual ride! -

^^Oh, by the way (sorry for the double post) while you were there, was the screen of furius baco's pre-show working? Because when I rode it (around 10h15 a.m, opening day) it wasn't. -

^I don't know about bizarro but I think it is a pretty good, solid ride. I guess SFA would now deserve something more than a relocated coaster, no? -

^Haha! I like how you discretely included Skyrush in the middle of smaller rides like Fahrenheit or eurofighters -

^I know this is being suggested because people (here) want it but is it really something they would do? I've asked this before but, was X-flight that successful? -

Great pictures! Looks like you had quite a nice time. Once more, glad to see a new B&M pleasing everyone so much. -

^I also felt the corkscrews were still pretty intense (in fact, if I hadn't noticed the extra braking on the MCBR and the slower speed through the loop I think I couldn't tell anything just from the corkscrews). Still, knowing it could be (and once was) faster makes me kind of pissed, plus I do like forceful fast loops. I'm okay with a little weightlessness on the top of the bigger ones, but overall like to feel some forces all the way through them. -
The trains my be smaller but if they were the same size as banshee's, wouldn't it be the same (even though they're two)? Because, given the length of the ride, isn't it expected that one train will be ready to enter the station as the first one is leaving it? (just like it would be with 3 trains on a longer ride)

Carowinds Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I wonder what they will do with this one to make it different from intimidator. With Leviathan they kind of tried to include some lower speedy sections and less airtime hills to make it different from behemoth. In my opinion, it was a bit of a mistake as all the B&M hypers we've seen focus on floater air, lots of it. So I felt that by basically having only two airtime hills on leviathan they were "trying to deny" what that type of ride is. Not sure if anyone gets me but what I'm saying is that it feels kind of forced and would have been a better ride if they had incorporated more hills. I think I've heard someone saying that the main reason CW got leviathan was because Behemoth had A LOT of attendance. Don't know if this is true but, if it is, wouldn't it be more logical to consider that an exception and, therefore, expect something different from carowinds' giga? I know all of them so far have had the same basic idea behind them but what about something like a looping giga? (that might just be me dreaming again) -

^How much did I305 cost? If we follow the 2010 logic (when KD got a giga and carowinds a hyper) KD could get a hyper next year! Just kidding, but I'm looking forward to seeing what it might be. (if they actually get a new coaster) -

^That would be nice, wouldn't it? But then that's the point of this concept of ride, so...
