Interesting. I wonder it when they're "off" the braking force really is zero or just lower (as opposed to intamin brakes, for instance, where either the fins or the magnets move completely away from the other part).

Looks like they're getting ready to put some more pieces.

^I'm looking forward to watching that. Seems like a good film.

One thing is true, though. Although B&Ms usually have better capacity over intamins, during one train operations the intamins are faster due to the shorter ride cycles/fast lifts/shorter distance between brakes and station.

^I'm not so sure. There aren't many (if any) LSM launched coasters around with 32 seat trains. I can't tell why (probably the cost of launching such heavy trains) but don't forget Thunderbird only has 5 cars.

A looping hyper!!

Maybe you should have picked a Ferrari or a Lamborghini as most Porsches (at least nowadays) are fairly reliable

I also find them interesting. When riding shambhala I sent some time observing the wheels. I know, it's very nerdy

^Me too. By the way, those running wheels look massive!

^I actually used parque de atracciones de Madrid's star flyer mainly to find out where the gerstlauer mine train was as I couldn't find a park map. It turned out to be quite good as the views of Madrid were great!

Black and White

What about "the most average coaster in the world?"

^Awesome! I definitely like the look of these 4 across trains better than the v seating ones.

Why would that be guilty pleasure? Most of them are pretty good and even the ones not so popular among the enthusiasts are okay.

^Oh, yeah . . .

Looking really good! Source.

^Thanks. So, 162 pieces. Quite a lot.

Track for the drop installed! It appears that there will be some twist in the drop. I wonder how it will be. Source.

^If it really does that should mean more airtime in the front as the train rises into the heartline roll!

^Didn't someone say it would have a three car train? (I would find that a bit odd)

^Here.

Perhaps they're waiting for the layout to be complete and the cranes to be "available" to remove it? I don't know.

^I hadn't noticed that, but yes, it does look pretty nice!

Extremely false! The person below me hates Justin Bieber.

Yes. Have you ridden a strata coaster?
