Vialand (Turkey) Intamin LSM Construction
rcjp replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Does anyone have any news on the lsm coaster? I tried but couldn't find any picture of the construction which should already be at an advanced stage if they really want to open it next month. -

B&M vs Intamin
rcjp replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As I've previously said, intamin makes some really awesome rides and if I look at my top ten, many of them are intamins. The thing is, overall, B&M makes A LOT of impressive rides with remarkable reliability, smoothness and comfort. After riding coasters like skyrush and storm runner (which are awesome) I do recognize that intamin may have some rides that are nearly unbeatable. Still, I'll go for B&M as they seem to be flawless as (apart from one or another) I've never had any complaints in terms of comfort neither reliability. The same cannot be said for intamin 'cause every time I go to a park that has one I'm afraid it won't be running (and sometimes it really isn't). So I'll take B&M 's consistency over Intamins occasional awesomeness. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

^^ I agree. When I rode GK the vests hadn't bee modified yet and, as you said, they were uncomfortably tight but no more than that. I only rode Skyrush this year and while I LOVED the ride itself the restraints were pretty painful. I don't know how they were before but they gave me some nasty pain in all the airtime moments. While you're sitting in the brake run they do open just a bit to relieve you but, honestly, unlike other intamins I've ridden where the pain only comes in the brakes, on skyrush it was clearly felt the entire ride. I think the only thing that could be done was either to shorten the bars on the side (as someone here as suggested) so that the restraints hold your legs closer to the waist or changing their shape all together. The thing is though, with that much airtime I'm not sure if any kind of restraints would be comfortable in the most ejector moments, maybe B&Ms would. -
^Yeah, you're right. Still hate them, though.

Mosquitoes are terrible indeed, I hate spiders too: just pointless.

Being caught a bit further away from the explosion so that the blast won't kill you but you'll still get severely hit by radiation. What's worse than replacing all intamins with vekomas and B&Ms with togos?

Then I would be sad, but not torn apart. What if Kingda Ka or TTD were given a layout extension?

It probably goes like this: 1 - Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure 2 - Shambhala - Portaventura 3 - Steel Force - Dorney Park -
Someone throwing up while riding in front of you and you getting hit by it in the face! What's worse than losing all your stuff while in a coaster?

My life would go "out of business" too. What if intamin wen out of business?
