Nothing is "completely safe", even roller coasters. But we can say roller coasters are the safest thing to do, safer than sleeping, walking, eating, watching movies,etc. I think the main reason why SF sues Gerstlauer is that SF is trying to distract the GP. When a park had an accident, GP blame the park mostly so SF wants the GP to know there might be a problem with the manufacturer. If GP are dumb enough to believe in FD3, then they are dumb enough to believe Gerstlauer make dangerous products even if Gerstlauer won the law case. Just my guessing, getting money from a Gerstlauer is sure to be another reason.

Best B&M sitting coaster?
gerstlaueringvar replied to rcjp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but Wildfire isn't all that great. While it's certainly smooth and forceful at some parts, I found that my rides weren't anything special. I've ridden Hulk as well, which is rougher but more forceful and (IMHO) more fun. I agree with this. While I was expecting some old school B&M force, Wildfire is kind of forceless except for it's incredible first drop. -

2060 although I'm taking it again this Spring and think I can do better. I tend to test really well although my grades aren't great cause I'm lazy when it comes to pointless busy work. What's yours? I will take my first SAT test this May. Got 740 on SAT Math level 2 in January to get used to how the system works.

It's layout looks pretty lame but indoor coasters don't need to be too thrilling. Great photos, the outside theme looks very detailed. -

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

Don't forget B&Ms usually seat four across unlike intamin, which is one of the things that make the capacity so great. The only intamin I've been on which seats four in the same row was skyrush and that has rather wide trains which will stop them from doing really snappy transitions. Don't get me wrong, Skyrush is very very twisty but if you actually compare its changes in direction to maverick's or I305's they are slower. But when B&M stopped making crazy transitions for 11 years, it's time to make a change. -

No wonder GateKeeper's line seems always moving with three train operation... B&M certainly is trying everything they can to increase the capacity. Part of me think it's very wise but part of me think it takes away some riding experience. I personally don't like the feeling of sinking into the seat. I also think B&M needs to find a way to increse the arm space. It feels very uncomfortable to sit next to a sweaty rider on a B&M with OTSR's and I hate how the OTSR's stop me from putting my hands up. Intamin, on the other hand, allow riders to wave their hands freely.
