PortAventura Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Can't wait for testing footage! I wonder if they went for LSMs because of reliability or because it allows them to launch trains at a faster rate (since they are pretty small and have a supposedly good capacity). I find it a bit of a shame that it won't be quite as forceful as most accelerator coasters but if it turns out to be reliable then I'm ok with it. -

Holy crap! This really will become a must go park! -
B&M Restraints: Old vs. New
rcjp replied to DBru's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I think the vests would only be a really good thing if B&M made a super intense ride with insanely fast traditions and super strong airtime. In that case having your body properly secured wouldn't be bad but given that they rely a lot on things like floater air it has a nasty impact on their rides. -

Nice! Is there any news on when exactly it is supposed to open? (all I can find is "spring") -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
rcjp replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Stunt Fall at Warner Madrid two days ago. It might have one or two rough spots but it's till a very thrilling ride and my favorite vekoma. -
Having ridden it again just to confirm, Coaster Express. It manages to be extremely rough/painful and have a boring layout.

Am I getting this right? They're adding all that for 2017 and a vekoma/intamin hyper for 2018?? -

^Aren't floater and ejector two types of airtime? -
Liseberg Discussion Thread
rcjp replied to viking86's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I though kanonen was great fun but, as some have pointed out, you get the same amount of fun and more on helix, for instance, (the only thing it does better is the launch). It's a very good ride for its size, in my opinion, so it would be great to see a small park buying it as it would give them the chance to have a quite thrilling ride with a tiny size (and I suppose it won't be too expensive). I feel a bit sorry it's leaving but apparently it also had a bit of downtime (it broke down when I was about to get my last ride) so it's understandable. -
Liseberg Discussion Thread

Wow! That's pretty impressive. I just went to the park in August and it already had a great collection of rides. This only makes me want to go back quickly. -
Rocky Mountain Construction 2017?
rcjp replied to kickflipbacktail's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I had no idea that was a thing! No wonder the ride loses so much speed quickly. -

^What kind of wheels does it use? Did you say tires?? -
^Thanks, that's pretty interesting. I totally missed this park but with this new ride I guess it will have a nice collection of coasters.

Japanese/French Raptor's brake run snap was fixed after B&M realized how they ended a great ride in an even greater way at the very last second. Fixed -

Horrible Park Operations
rcjp replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When I went to Tivoli Gardens in August operations on Dæmonen were awful. Running one train, nearly three and a half minutes for each dispatch (with a small floorless train) and because one of the two guys checking the restraints would also let people in the station and assign them rows most of the times the train would just stop for a while before the station until he came back and pressed the button. On the following day we went to liseberg and it was sooo much better (50s dispatches on helix) -
Favorite coaster cars/trains or ride vehicles
rcjp replied to Stitch's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mack's trains are really good. I have to say I'm not quite a fan of the way they look but they ride amazingly. Super comfortable and with plenty of freedom. I'd love to try the ones they used on lost gravity as they look like a comfortable version of skyrush's (which, apart from that issue, are also great)
