That's unfortunate, and it has been mentioned by a few people. I wonder what are the causes, what can make a new ride rattle (like gatekeeper). -
A year ago on skyrush, a lot (still a great ride, though) When was the last time you rode a rough B&M?

How I would love to touch B&M track! I'm probably sounding ridiculous right now...... Yeah I also thought about that, it would certainly be cool. -

KumbaK Judging from the crowd, I don't think Stampida is losing fans. Building an RMC that crosses with Shambhla and Khan to improve the beautiful corner even more! Just don't use orange track. No, it would need "traditional coloured" track. I don't think that area needs another coaster. it looks stunning the way it is (especially from far). I'm not sure where I would put it, though. Coaster express should definitely get the RMC treatment more than stampida (just retrack it) -

^Ok, one thing is when the GP exaggerates, but telling a complete lie is a different story. well...... -

No, apparently no one is excited about Fury 325, so this is completely normal. I am! And maybe I shouldn't be so much as I probably won't ride it in the next few years. -

Is it known if the storage track will have a roof? Out of curiosity. Nice to see some progress. -

^I had no idea that they did it like that. Thanks for sharing. -
This isn't meaning to criticize, but I find this a little surprising considering you flew across the country for your first visit and I was just wondering why? Most people I know would LOVE to have a coaster valley, rollback, stuck on the lift, etc, just for the experience, and to see how a park handles such a situation. I can't imagine there was any real "safety" concern, and if it were me, an incident like this would have pumped me up and want to ride MORE!!! Just the other day we were on Rip Ride Rockit and we got stopped on one of the blocks, the train came to a HARD stop and it shook the entire tower like crazy...and then one of the cars stopped on the block brake on top of us (about 30 feet up on the same tower) and it shook even more! It was AWESOME!!! We valleyed on the Deja Vu in freaking CHINA, and a rusted out indoor Jurassic coaster and even that didn't turn us off from riding! (And their rides are seriously sketchy!) I guess I was just more wondering what was going through your head that this turned you off from riding instead of thinking it was one of the coolest things you've done in a park? I've never had the chance to experience a valley, a MCBR hold or even a lift stop. I would also love to be in a situation like that (as long as it doesn't take too much time ).

Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread

^In the first drop, maybe. It basically makes the first/last cars "less extreme", less different than the rest, I suppose. -

Harry Traver's 4th dimension coaster
rcjp replied to RMC_Hoodie's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, if they install these shock things on mean streak so that they put you asleep before it begins it wouldn't be a bad idea -
Traditional? Elaborate, please. I think traditional B&M means snappy inversions, high positive G's and using the trains with more straight up seats and better restraints. In short, better B&M I don't know why but I feel that how straight the seats are does have a bit of an impact on the way it rides. I'm totally fine with having OTSR (the old ones) on most B&Ms as 1: They generally aren't rough 2: they allow the seats to be nearly straight 3: they stay looser during the ride than most lap bars allowing you to float around.
