Hahaha GateKeeper at #108 while Shambhala at #8, Sky Scrapper is at #19... Perfect prove that B&M does a better job outside of US. What happened to iSpeed this year? From #8 to #20?

RMC needs to have a party! Both of their steel coasters at world's top 10 even though iRat lost at least a hundred of it's fans.

So Helix only has three trains? I was expecting more than four trains on such a major coaster with only 20 riders per train.

I think I can use a stick to dispatch the coaster while I sit at the front row, still safer than when the coaster is operated by their employees. I still need the Little Titans credit!

This is the track for Wanda's new B&M flyer. The name will be Butterfly Illusion. Pretty cool IMO.

Kind of like Journey to the Center of the Earth at Tokyo Disney Sea.

This is exactly my type of ride! Is the chain lift launch very loud? They covered the lift of the Mack wild mouse but Tornado's launch sounds very loud from an off-ride video I watched earlier.

what park is this thing at? http://rcdb.com/11531.htm

^Add three more Barrel Rolls and Inramin could be the record holder again lol.

ZIPPERS! I do hope Chance will keep making them though.

^ My bad, just learned about it in the physics class today.

Next challenge: Goliath!!!

Themed Amusement Park? Add SFFT, SFOT and SFGAm.

I think the capacity would be similar or slightly higher than Iron Rattler's. SFGAm is more efficient than SFFT and I think Goliath's lift will be faster than Iron Rattler's.

If you complain the subway or car stops too abruptly just like Giovanola hyper.

^Yes! Your turn.

Hint: Not from Vekoma.

I totally agree with this. I feel like some people take roller coasters WAY too seriously. We are supposed to have fun on them, but for some reason, every coaster has to be better and more forceful than the other. Even though an Arrow Corkscrew coaster isn't as good as a B&M Invert, I can still have fun on the Arrow Corkscrew as long as it's fun. My home park, Valleyfair, doesn't exactly have the world's best roller coaster collection, but I still have lots of fun everytime I go. In my opinion, when the GP gets off a ride, they think "Boy, that was fun!", while some enthusiats think stuff like "The airtime was weaker than normal, and the MCBR trimmed us too much". While I can be critical of roller coasters at times, I don't let that keep me from having fun. I think enthusiasts complain about these things because they know the coaster can be better than it is. It's not like enthusiasts stopped having fun, they are hoping for more fun. (This statement is only valid for those who are not boring or ultra serious.)

^ I actually think Thunderation is smoother than Powder Keg. The old Premier section is really rough with unpleasant laterals right before hitting the lift hill so it's possible to get bruises on the sides of the knees. Also there are two spots of Powder Keg where the lateral force come very abrupt.

Surely if the seats are further away from the track (higher) and the train's speed and track are the same, the fact the height away from the track means the forces are more intense as the centrifugal forces are more? Like on a carousel the further away from the center you are the faster you are moving? I mean if the seats are lower, the radius is smaller.

^ guilty! If you would spend five minutes trying to figure out the answer of the Guess The Coaster By It's Layout thread.

The train looks fantastic!

Speed Monster?

Yes! Your turn!
