Alton Towers Discussion Thread

It would be kind of cool to see the trains going through that piece of track with the missing support. -
What is the coolest coaster name?
rcjp replied to Hilltopper39's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I guess that's likely to happen, yeah. But it's pronounced quite differently and you can't really translate it as it's a name. Actually I'd never noticed that it is spelled in a similar to bacon (probably because English isn't my first language). -

I haven't been on many new B&Ms, in fact, the only really new one I've ridden was shambhala and it definitely shows that they have been making quite a few forceless rides now. I mean, the ride was great fun (it's tall and it has a lot of airtime) but I rode it 8 times during the day and by the end I was already kind of bored, which didn't happen with dragon khan (and I also rode it 8 times) neither furius baco. If I compare it to nitro (the only other B&M hyper I've been to) it is rather forceless too, even the airtime was a lot more like weightlessness some times while on nitro you had light yet consistent negative Gs. Before I knew a lot about roller coasters I wondered what was that made me enjoy the batman clones that much more than other rides and I agree with Robb when he says he wants to hit the brake run and go "Wow!". And while these less forceful rides may appeal to more people it's also a fact that they will struggle to be among the top coasters.

Nice update. See you're having fun so far. That wacky worm was totally kick ass. -

Coaster express at parque Warner Madrid. I could almost feel my brain being shattered during pretty much the entire ride. Not only that, it was also my first wooden coaster so you can guess what my first impression was like.

What is your local park?
rcjp replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I's pretty sad but there isn't a single decent theme park in my country. In order to go to a non-crappy one I have to travel almost 350 miles to visit Parque Warner Madrid. -
Poll: Favorite Inversion?
rcjp replied to timetrial3141592's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Zero-g-roll is my choice. Loops are the classical inversion, which is great. I particularly like the big ones (like B&M's). I also love diving loops and immelmans: its awesome how you get more and more banked and then go upside down with a brief moment of weightlessness on diving loops. -
B&M vs Intamin
rcjp replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm a colossal B&M fan but I have to admit that Intamin also makes some spectacular rides. -
New B&M trains on Steel Dragon
rcjp replied to Trevor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was just watching this video when I noticed how massive the running wheels in these trains are (it's very clear on 2:55). Much larger than they usually are in other B&M trains (apart from the diving machine ones). At least they appear to be. -
It's not a serious poll. It's like saying "Taco or Marshmallow?" They are both food! It's a question for fun. Okay then. Outlaw Run because its trains are red. Red trains are cool like bow ties. Well, the track on Iron Rattler is red so that's the one I'll choose. Red is the color of hell and the devil and I want the coasters I ride to be devilish.

Best Coaster Layouts
rcjp replied to Randomman295's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Yeah me too. I love lots of inversions and the smiler seems to pack an incredible amount of them in a rather small area.
