Best B&M sitting coaster?
Angle O. Descent replied to rcjp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dominator for me, but that could change after I visit Florida -

Fastest Lift Hill?
Angle O. Descent replied to bonsaiisuperstar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Since Maverick's slow upwards LSM launch has been disqualified by our expert opinionists here, I would like to revise my post by picking both Skyrush and I305 as the fastest "lift" hill I've been on. -

I hope it turns out like Shambhala. If Cedar Fair is going to create yet another B&M hypergiga redundancy, they should at least make a decent effort this time. -

Fastest lift hill I've been on is Maverick... I only argue that it's a "lift" because it isn't really a true launch either. -
I don't get why people on here are busting the "GP's" balls. Aren't they and their families the ones who spend their money to go to all the parks and are largely responsible for keeping them in business? I'm not trying to "troll" here, but isn't there a difference between making fun of someone on Face Book for having poor grammar vs. being a total dick to them for not knowing as much about coasters as we do??

I believe this has been disproven many times before... Okay. -

Leviathan was rumoured as originally designed for Knott's Berry Farm, but got switched to Canada's Wonderland at the last minute. -
I don't 'get' TTD or Kingda Ka

As exciting as TTD and Ka are, I treat them more like drop towers... they're a big shot of adrenaline but not much more. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Angle O. Descent replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I also used to think the back was better. But now I find that airtime is stronger in the front of any coaster. Although in some cases you do get the 'whip" or 'pull' down the hills when sitting in the back (Behemoth is a perfect example of this). On Magnum in the front, I find that the airtime is so strong, combined with the restraint design, that it's borderline painful. For Magnum and Magnum alone, sitting closer to the back is much more pleasant. It's almost an art to find a sweet spot on a coaster, but when you do find it , it's amazing -
Hydra's heartline roll as well as Thunderbolt's two drops are my two favourites.
