  1. Scoliosis! Mine is getting worse. Even normal daily activities like walking around, standing for a while without sitting, mopping, sweeping, and jumping on a trampoline are uncomfortable and (at times) painful if the activity is intense enough. I'm 14 and my back feels like it's 80 at times. Luckily it isn't bad enough for Spinal Fusion, but feeling unbalanced and uncomfortable in your lower back isn't exactly easy to ignore... And since my diagnosis in November I finally realize why I'm not a huge fan of stand-up coasters.
  2. It's like they're purposely trying to repaint every coaster but Xcelerator.
  3. El Loco at Adventuredome looks really good for its compact layout.
  4. S&S Free Spin + RMC Iron Box coaster
  5. Could someone help me out with putting CTRs, CFRs, CSOs, and CTs in RCT3 (Mac App Store)? I don't know if it is possible to customize the game if it is from the Mac App Store, but if so I could really use some help. Thank you in advance!
  6. Looks REALLY good! Although I'm not the biggest fan of the name Exciter....but then again, there is Smiler. Keep up the good work!
  7. 2012: Manta (SWSD), LL:DOD (SFMM) 2013: Coast Rider (KBF), Full Throttle (SFMM)
  8. Canada's Wonderland's improvement for their Flight Deck is the scrapyard.
  9. ^ Well said. If they iron horse Colossus in 2015, maybe we can see an upgrade to the whole area with a Scream re-paint! I can dream...
  10. I don't think RMC's trains are going to provide a solution. What's special about their trains is that they use springs to push the side wheels and up-stop wheels to make sure they attach to the track the whole time to eliminate the train banging around the track like normal wooden coasters. Outlaw Run finishes the course at a low speed after the barrel rolls. A normal wooden coaster's speed would not decline that much with a height of 106ft but only a length of 2000+ ft (exclude the brake run, station and lift hill). That means this new technique used on RMC trains generate a lot more friction than normal wooden coaster trains like the PTC's, Gerstlauer's, etc. Interesting, I didn't know that. But is outlaw run's loss of energy throughout the course only due to this system or also due to the fact that it has quite a lot of terrain variations and maintains a relatively high speed during the entire ride? I think the reason Outlaw Run ends at such a low speed is due to the fact that the ride finished at a height much higher than the majority of the ride (like you said). It hauls butt entering the double barrel roll, but because the barrel rolls are fairly steep uphill, the train slows down a lot. Since Goliath at SFGAm is pretty much on all flat ground, it will probably be a better judgement of RMC trains that Outlaw Run.
  11. Yup! The one who guessed it first goes.
  12. Okay I'm gonna take a stab at this...iSpeed?
  13. Wow, this is a really tough one. Maybe we could get some confirmation of what's the lift hill, loop, etc.? Or would that just give it away too easily?
  14. If CW can market Leviathan after Behemoth, a 122-degree drop coaster at SFOG seems marketable. And in my opinion, nothing is a true inversion unless it is greater than or equal to 135-degrees.
  15. I believe the red is some sort of tape/tarp that's on the track. If you look at the rest of the topper track, it is the normal grey/brown. I may be wrong, but it's just my guess. They could be painting it red for all I know.
  16. Air at Alton Towers. It's short and sweet, and gets to the point.
  17. I think the ride would look much better if the lift was the same color as the rest of the track. In a way I'm kind of disappointed they didn't take this opportunity to re-paint the lift hill to the yellow/red/silver.
  18. Here are some photos I took yesterday of Silver Bullet and Sierra Sidewinder's re-paint. Both coasters are looking really good! Sorry if the photos are a little blurry. They were taken with an iPhone 5.
  19. The new B&M track seems to have the same track color scheme as Fireball. Hmm...it would look a little odd having the same track colors as a coaster right next to it.
  20. ^ Awesome! Silver Bullet was so faded. I'm heading to the park tomorrow; I'll try to get some photos.
  21. Not my picture, but it sure looks pretty on my MacBook Retina display!
  22. Leviathan for the more comfortable trains ARM drop towers or Intamin 1st gen free falls?
  23. Intamin!! Sandwich or hamburger?
