^If B&M managed to move the steel bars to the side like some vekomas do (instead of having them kind of in front of you) that problem would be solved but that would probably mean even wider trains. -

I don't really remember how it was when I rode gatekeeper but do can you put your arms up on a ride with these restraints? Because on that banshee picture it looks like only the people on the sides will a able to put one arm up. -

Take a bobsleigh ride!
rcjp replied to Mickey_079's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wow! I'd really like to do that. It looks like it's sped up from how fast it really is! -

Indeed... Nice find! It would be interesting too see what people back then would think about TTD. -

^We don't know if it'll be on but yeah, I wouldn't mind going over a B&M airtime hill a little faster. -

It's amazing how tall that hill still is after all those other elements! -

^Either they're installing another piece and support today or they will have to leave the crane holding it, I suppose. -

^It does look great. The only part of the ride I'm not so sure about is that forceless-looking helix. I would rather have that made tighter than the trim removed. -

For me it was fun but not much more. The best part was definitely the last bit with the airtime hills although they were relatively painful (but not as much as skyrush, for me). I'm not going to say its fans are all crazy but I don't find it more than: "Well, that was some good fun!" -
^Haha! True. I seem to be one of the few people here who likes the concept of standup coasters but the fact is the only two I've ridden (mantis and green lantern) were not entirely enjoyable for other reasons (roughness). I've said plenty of times how I'd like too see a new one getting built as things like B&M's vest restraints and even the "forcelessness" of some of their newer rides would probably make them more enjoyable.

What? About the trims? Anyway, I'm glad I'll have a coaster of that size within a sort of reasonable distance from home and this whole addition should make an already great park even better! -

Interesting. I can only assume they were originally planning to have one but given there only is one train it's not essential. -
You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....
rcjp replied to PCW_Nut's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You got super exited when you found out that one of the programs RMC uses to design coaster/track parts is solidworks which I happen to be using for one of my subjects at college! -
Correct!!
