^Banshee's animation didn't have any trims, I think. -

^Actually I had. That's why I'm also afraid they will replace the trim with a magnetic one. But that section of track doesn't look 100% straight so maybe they won't. -

Where did you get the rumor? That would be too many Bluefire clones even though they are super fun rides. Oh, sorry. It wasn't a clone, just a ride of the same type. I just read what RCT3Bross wrote. -

I think that even if the park had literally nothing other than the RMC, it would be worth a trip. -

Great pictures! With this TR (and having never been to the park ) I can already why it is ranked so high. Now I really have to convince someone to go to Germany.

Weird Roller Coaster Dreams
rcjp replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was at Parque Warner Madrid and they had a custom white B&M invert next to coaster express. Not only that, but you boarded both coasters on the same station...... on the exact same bit of track Oh, there were also four trains for coaster express and only one for the invert. One of the CE trains was GCI, the other was RMC, other was intmain, and the other....... I don't remember. Stunt Fall had (for some reason) been moved to the back of the park. -
^I thought both trains had received softer restraints during the 2012-13 off season.

^Isn't the rumour a blue fire clone? if so, it would only be one more reason to go to the park (although I would rather see a custom coaster of that type). -

Kentucky Kingdom (SFKK, KK) Discussion Thread

^^^The thing is SLCs were designed to have OTSR and I'm not sure how "tight" some of the gaps are but, for instance, gatekeeper, which has those key holes (or any other ride with OTSR and near misses for that matter) couldn't just be switched to lap bars as riders then would be able to reach out further. True. That's why, usually, rides with lap bars have more reclined seats (to make sure you don't go forward) while on some with OTSR you sit practically straight. -

^Having lap bars only means you can reach out further away from the train. -

Not really in the minority, G Lock apparently is the only thing that makes a coaster good. It's the reason why most prefer Afterburn over Intimidator. I understand wanting a fast and forceful ride, but I don't see why losing consciousness is the only way to do it. It's true that sometimes enthusiasts make it sound like what makes a ride good is greying out but that doesn't even make sense. One of the only two rides where I have greyed out was nitro and I don't consider it intense at all while, let's say, a BTR clone is intense and I've never greyed out on one. -
True. And two of them are my 2nd and 3rd favourite rides! I've been hearing this year (especially from this trip) that the last bit of skyrush was not as intense as the rest but when I rode it last year that last airtime hill was just as insane as the others. Also, I'm like you. The only thing that keeps it from being my favourite coaster are the restraints.

What about getting rid of those vests and having lap bars only?..... (I suppose that couldn't happen due to clearance issues) -

^^Obviously he was exaggerating. But I understand that he wants a really intense ride and not something that is made to appeal to a lot more people (which is what the park wants). Personally, I'm happy for both the park and B&M but I would one day like to see a giga skyrush although that's probably only gonna happen if a park really wants a ride for the more enthusiastic (which is basically what Hershey did)
