^I really really liked Alien. I only watched it a few months ago and thought it was fantastic.

American Pie - Don Mclean

That must have been pretty violent! I hope everyone recovers.

Oh dear...

It looks nice without netting. I've never liked how rides like shambhala have netting on the whole drop. You might not really notice it if you're not in the front but it's always better not to have them. But then you have to rely on people behaving properly and following the park rules.

I had no idea you could walk under the ride on so many places. It's really cool when you can get close to a ride like that.

^Huss's are really fun. Haven't had the chance to try a lot of other makers.

How loud is Fury? From some offride POVs it kind of looks like it's louder around the lift/drop area (and airtime hills under it) than on the part that goes over the entrance. Is that true?

^Maybe. The other one looks like a twisted hill.

I love pictures of rolls from this angle! Can't wait to read some reviews once it opens.

That looks like it's going to be an airtime hill!

^Nice! It does look fairly tall. Oh, thanks a lot! That's very interesting! I have a feeling Intamin didn't do this with skyrush's restraints (if they did and thought they were fine they're mad)

I don't think even the park knows.

^I wonder why both B&M gigas don't have nine cars like some of their older hypers. It would be nice for capacity.

10 Stators on a Cross Section of Track to Launch a Mouse Car or a Single Line of 10 Stators?I'm thinking about something like this. I've always thought Intamin could use two sets on LSM instead of one. They would basically look like their magnetic brakes on accelerator coasters and should make for a forceful launch! The ride looks great. I'm desperately starting to need a massive trip round the continent.

^Haha! True. I was very surprised to see this built quickly.

Is it supposed to be as/nearly as heavy as the actual car?

^It does look like it might be stronger than Nitro (and perhaps the strongest B&M has made) but we'll have to wait for opening.

^Probably. They would be nice for the heartline roll to avoid getting red shoulders which I did after a few rides in a row.

^^It's not that simple as the photo would have to be taken just at the right angle. If we had such pictures we would be able to tell directly what the angle was.

^Probably true.

^I still think DK is the best B&M in the park (in fact it's my favourite coaster) even with the trimming. When I rode it for the first time I loved how intense the 2nd part was and it's a real shame that it's slower now. We already discussed this last season and if what someone said was true (that the ride got new sensors) I guess this is a permanent change As to FB yes it's rough but I still think it's awesome which is impressive taking not only that into account but also how short and simple the layout is. Now what I don't like is those head/neckbanging inducing things they added one or two seasons ago after one of the straps that goes over your shoulders broke. How were operations? Last season I went there on opening day and they were awful.

^I guess the taller the ride the more likely it is and I think LSMs tend to be fairly consistent but I'm not sure.

I guess I would if I had ridden a fair coaster worthy of being counted (which I haven't)

Still fairly fast for a chain. Does anyone know how steep the lift is? That way we would be able to calculate (roughly) its length and the chain speed. By the say, aren't chains supposed to get a bit inefficient with such tall rides? I assume B&M found a way round that if that's the case, though.
