Awesome! Euro Mir looks amazing with the lights. Thanks for sharing! -
Without the skateboard car because the skate board car is ugly. Thunderation or Road Runner Express SFFT?

Yep, I have a box, actually a few now! I got a big box for the Texas Midwest tour. I even kept the receipt for those merchandise If you say you love Hershey's chocolate because you love Hershey Park. -

Guilty If you collect park maps and put them into an exclusive box. -
Photo TR: The Kiwis Do Texas Midwest 2013

Nice TR! Thank you for supporting Sea World. I have no idea that the park is that big! Wow! Look at their Shamu Express! -
I was about to say the first drop of Smiler. I don't think a new element is a requirement for a great coaster. SkyRush, i305, El Toro, Mega-Lite, Bizarro SFNE, MF, T-Express, etc all don't have new elements, but that doesn't stop them from being some of the top coasters in the world. I'm 100% sure that Medusa will be one of them. The reason why Medusa doesn't have new elements, which I think is the main reason, is that the original Medusa's layout is does not allow RMC to create something impressive like Outlaw Run's elements.

^ I mean the steam, in the hot weather of Georgia, the steam might be an issue for mechanics. -

^ Forgot about the water. Maybe the water is a factor that might influence the mechanics of the motor? Or it is DinosaurBeach requested before it was moved to SFOG? Just guessing. -

^ Maybe it is too compact that Vekoma need more space for the motor? Putting it at the top might be easier for major fixing. -
^El Toro was back to 2006, I don't think it's possible for Six Flags to clone a model from 8 years ago(yup, I think it's 2014 already) Of course some cheap models are exception but El Toro is just not that cheap to show up everywhere like SLCs. Now, if Lightning Run and Mack mega coasters showed the success, maybe Six Flags will start their business with zzz Chance and Mack Rides and build some nice clones around. Plus, RMC is with Six Flags

I was actually slightly disappointed by the drop. It wasn't bad in any way, but I was expecting it to be brutal and I ended up getting less airtime than I get on B&M hypers (although it might just have been the seats that I took, though). It already has the length and making it vertical wouldn't harm it at all, I think. Try sitting in the back. It isn't sudden ejector. It builds up to the point where for a bit, you feel like you'll fly up to Canada. I rode Maverick before MF so I thought MF's first drop is not as intense as I thought. Probably the point of MF's tamed experience is that GP can through their hands up and enjoy it instead of holding for their dear life on those intense rides. See the photo of the final bunny hop next to the station which nearly everyone in the train look like they are having a great time. Probably making it SkyRushish is not a good idea. I would modify the Arrow coat hanger section of Magnum. The lateral G is not very enjoyable.
