Liseberg Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to viking86's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It is true that most parks don't have more than one launched coaster (and I think not a single one has more than two) but, if you think of it, it's not like having two inverts or two floorless coasters, a launch is just a type of gaining energy: you have lifts and launches and no one points out that a park has more than one lift coaster. That's simply because they're a lot more common, I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear but what I mean is just because a park has two launched rides, they don't have to be repetitive, unlike having two flying coasters (for instance). The same way you can have two lift coasters that have nothing to do with each other, you can have two or more launched ones too. -
^Oh I forgot that one. Yeah, you can't really tell what type of lift it is (at least I couldn't). I have never really understood what type of launch that is either. Strange...

^Are we lucky? I haven't been on anaconda but, from what I've heard, I suppose that second scenario would please many. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^You may be right, but what I'm saying is I doubt it is a coincidence that out of the new B&Ms, the "best" ones seem to be all in Asia: FOTR, hair raiser, starry night/sky ripper (and, according to Robb, the floorless in India was "fun" too). So probably it is the parks who decide how intense a ride is going to be as I seriously doubt that, right now, if a park contacted B&M and said they wanted a kick ass forceful and intense ride they would say: "Aaaaa...... No". -

^It looks like quite a few new B&Ms in China are better than other new ones, so the question is: Is it really B&M who has stopped making great rides or is it the parks which, right now, only seem to want forceless rides? -
^Oh, ok. That's more specific.

And Maverick too, depending on what you consider the lift/launch to be.

^I love B&M and when I complain is because I want them to be perfect, so maybe, in fact, many who are complaining don't hate B&M at all. -

^I also think the angle of the seats does make a difference. Sitting straight, for some reason, gives a more evolving experience. That's one thing I don't like about B&M's hyper trains, even though I find the restraints great and super comfy. I also feel that, in general, trains which use OTSR tend to have a more vertical seating configuration as opposed to most lap bars. -

^I quite liked the design of the old trains too. They looked kind of chunky but there was something that made them great (I think being longer also made them more visually appealing) -
