How To Ride?
gerstlaueringvar replied to gerstlaueringvar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hades360: Enter Mt.Olympus, turn left, cross under Hades360's support, turn right and follow the direction to Hades360's entrance. Go upstairs, step into the last row and wait for the train to come. When the air gate opens, sit down in the left side seat of the last row for one second and leave the station from the exit right next to you. YOU GOT THE CREDIT!!! -
How To Ride?

Maverick: To avoid neck chopping, move your head to the far opposite direction of the twists. For example, move your head to the far left side of the OTSR before the first twist, move your head to the far left side to brace for the twist after the second launch. The 2nd, 4th and 6th row gives much less neck chopping than the 1st, 3rd and 5th row. I assume the first row of each car gives more neck chopping is because Maverick is designed following head line instead of heartline. Front row's head position is lower thus your head moves in a larger radius. I could be wrong though. Rough woodies: avoid body contact with the train. Lean forward and hold on to your lap bar. Pegasus at Mt. Olympus: sit at the right side seats and hold on to the right side of the car to brace for the final turn. First generation Premier LIM launch coaster: cross your arms and hold on to the lap bar, do not put your hands up because you would get back and forth headbanging Arrow side winder element: Similar to the way of bracing for Maverick's turns. Magic seat for most of Arrow Corkscrews: back row. The airtime are incredible on CP Corkscrew and SFGAm Demon. -
After riding so many coasters and other rides, I think a lot of people have already figured out the ways to ride certain coasters and certain rides. Here is a thread to give tips about how to avoid pain or discomfort. List the magic seats on certain coasters that provides better airtime/less headbanging/more leg room/etc are welcomed as well! For example: How to ride SkyRush to minimize the pain from the restraint? How to brace for Boomerangs/SLC's/Volares? Where is the magic seats on Magnum?

Airtime or Forcefulness?
gerstlaueringvar replied to tarheel1231's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It depends. Mostly I prefer airtime. Both Maverick and Outlaw Run do not have strong positive G's but they are incredible, incredible and incredible. But particularly for B&M, I would choose forcefulness over airtime. I really don't think lame floaters mean anything to me. Batman clones are much better than Sleeping Bull. -
The Next Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom?
gerstlaueringvar replied to CPSFMMCW's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I really think Magic Springs will be the next to close down. There aren't any stand out rides(I don't think a standard SkyLoop is good enough) and their restaurants really pissed me off. Even though their water park is nice and their atmosphere is nice, I personally don't think it would live long unless they add a great new ride. -

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

The train looks amazing with the new logo. -
Whatever if it can lower the price. Maurer didn't produce track in China but SBL's jet coaster still used Maurer's track style. Track style really isn't that much if a big deal as Chinese knock-off manufacturers will not produce something with B&M's quality in the near future even though some of B&M's coasters already are as rough as some medium level Chinese knock-off coasters. Plus, technically B&M is using Intamin/Giovanola's track style.

Is Subway a good food choice during work out? I really don't think I can live with salad and albumen powder.
