Phantasialand Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to roeterich's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I have no idea how fast the train will be going but the track twists around 180º in a rather short length. That only means one thing.... . twistyyyyy! -
Heroic Land | Calais, France
rcjp replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It does. But then they all do at this stage. I guess I'll have to wait until it gets built to make a judgment. -

^Haha. It does sound surprising how they continue to announce new coasters considering how new the park is. -
Kolmården Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I actually think the inversions are relatively well spread out with plenty of twistyness and airtime moments in the middle. Perhaps I would replace the first one with a big el toro style airtime hill but then RMC seems to prefer shorter pops of air with quick changes of direction between them. I think it looks fantastic especially considering the pacing and duration as these more intense rides usually are a bit short. -

Well, that's still better than just being left there to rotten. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
rcjp replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You might be surprised to find out that there's quite a few people that don't realize the speed comes from gravity. When I tell people (most) roller coasters have no actual motor on the train more than 50% is surprised. Okay, maybe 60% -
What is the worst B&M/intamin/GCI
rcjp replied to christianscoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
B&M: Mantis. It wasn't terrible just not very enjoyable (when compared to the others I've been on) Intamin: indiana jones et le temple du péril. Unlike most I don't dislike the coaster. It's just... meh... I haven't ridden enough GCIs to answer this. -
Ferrari World Discussion Thread

Isn't the lift supposed to be around 60 meters and the loop 50 (or 52)? -
Ferrari World Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to Captain Jack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^I know this gets repeated a lot but I'm just saying I'd like to see a fast lift that could stay that way (as we know intamin can do so and does on most coasters). It's like saying I would rather not see any or not may trims on the ride. -

I hope this has a fast intamin cable lift which doesn't slow down at the top as that will make the drop even better! -
^That's one I'm planning to watch soon. Sounds pretty interesting.

^That'd give an awesome sensation of speed! -
Ferrari World Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to Captain Jack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I also noticed how narrower the spine was. I guess they're just becoming more efficient but of course the trains can be smaller (bigger they won't be, I'd say) -
Universal Studios Japan (USJ) Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been on one flyer but I do enjoy the concept. It might me a gimmick but it's one that actually makes a big difference when you're riding. Plus I think pretzel loops are insane! One thing I'd like to see would be a low, close to the ground and fast section to take advantage of the flying position. I think it'd be more insteresting than some slower higher turns we usually see. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nice that you enjoyed banshee. I haven't been on it but I assume part of what makes it good is how the ride is "always" reaching full speed at the bottom of each element without there really being a "second part". -

That's a steep drop! (and lift) Can't wait to see the finished product -

I find it amazing how from the outside it looks like just a wall but from the coaster area it's a totally different "world". -

Ferrari World Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to Captain Jack's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, there can obviously be airtime there but in theory the shape that would provide airtime at the top is that of a normal loop as those usually have positive Gs on that part (despite not being much). If a loop like junker's provides hangtime having the upper part the right way up should result in positive Gs but naturally there are a few ways intamin can incorporate air there (like on the twist and so on). It's not finished yet so nobody knows.
