S&S Sansei Discussion Thread

Is there a chance that X2, Eejanaika and Dinoconda will receive the same restraint like those on this one? They looks much better than the older ones. -

That's really cool! Have to admit that SLC's look indeed nice. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread

I wonder what kind of classic ride Knoebels lacks. A Zipper with modern technology? -

Hope the park will keep it good, Mt. Olympus is not their model of running giant GG woodies. -

So RMC sells I-Box track? I want a piece please Amazing TR! Really hope some parks would see it and make the right devotion between a B&M wing rider and this. -

Suddenly want to go to Mirabilandia. -
It doesn't even seem that Xcelerator could run with two trains. Here is why. You have the mag brake (not a block, it can't stop the train entirely), a main brake that seems to hold one train, and a station. If the train launches with one train on the main brake, and the brakes don't release, the trains will collide. If you release the train from the main brake and the ride doesn't launch, the trains will collide. It seems impossible to run 2 trains. Just my 2 cents. Can anybody produce a video of the ride running with 2 trains showing the cycle? Xcelerator use friction wheels as blocks just like most of the newer Intamins. I think Expedition GeForce's train also wait in the turn before entering the station.

From an enthusiast's perspective maybe but this isn't Six Flags. They're a family park and I think they're fine with what they have now. If you want a ride that's over the top intense I305 isn't too far away but that's really not what Busch Gardens is all about. They have big coasters but they're rides that still have mass appeal. In a park that's so heavily geared towards families I don't think an over-the-top intense ride is really what they need (though I wouldn't complain). I don't think it would be a terrible decision (Hershey is a family park and they built Skyrush) but they certainly don't need it. I don't think BGW has truly intense rides but I think Montu and Kumba are in the truly intense level. Throw Steel Eel and SWO Manta into there as well. I don't think Steel Eel is intense actually. But SWSA's Great White is crazy intense. From the two Dive Machines I've been on, I really think they just looks bigger than they are. Happy Valley Shanghai is ruled by Mega-Lite and Fireball but GP go for Dive Machine because it's the tallest and it goes upside down Chimelong made their Dive Machine unacceptably rough that I personally think Mack's Youngstar Coaster is the best coaster there followed by 10 Inversion Coaster.

Looks fantastic! Is there any closer picture of the inline roll? -
The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread
gerstlaueringvar replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This! I rode this back in 07' and I still remember the ejector airtime in the back seat. One of my favorite wooden coasters now that I think about it. Cyclopes is another good one, too bad I wasn't old enough to ride in the back seat at the time. Me either, but...I did ride it in the back row for 4 times The ride op allowed me to ride it. -
