Weird Coaster Facts
gerstlaueringvar replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^I would love to have a try -
Vekoma is pretty much the perfect choice. Think about some other companies, Intamin is definitely a competitor of RMC; Zamperla focus on flats thus would not be beneficial if RMC want to step into the field; Gerstlauer is experienced, but they do not have enough customers in Asia(they have a spinning people transport ride in China though). I honestly cannot think of anything that Vekoma would cause a negative impact... Except for wooden Boomerangs and SLCs.

I don't 'get' TTD or Kingda Ka
gerstlaueringvar replied to etr102's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me, I really like TTD. Everything if full of exitement, I don't mind it being short. The point is to create the craziest 20 seconds in your life and draw GP to the park for the speed and height. I honestly didn't find any part of TTD is boring at all. It's way better than a huge over banked turn added after the giant tower to make you feel bored and decreasing the capacity. -

Great TR! How do you think of Alpengeist compared to Raptor CP? -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

Just wait and see. The actual coaster can be a lot different from it in the commercial. Remember how people think SkyRush would be a rather relaxing and family oriented ride when it first announced? -

Gerstlauer and Funtime are both a part of the Ride Entertainment group of companies. http://www.rideentertainmentsystems.com Thanks a lot! -

Not some facts but I have a question about the Fun Time drop tower. The seats and OTSR's look almost exactly like Gerstlauer Euro Fighter's. Do Fun Time and Gerstlauer have some kind of cooperation? -
^ Outlaw Run's shin bar is not that painful, it doesn't affect the experience. Goliath's improvement only shows how much does RMC care about their customers. That's way better than some of the other manufacturers out there. That airtime hill looks like it would generate some serious kick-a$$ ejector air. Can't wait!

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. All Chinese water rides need this kind of boat. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
gerstlaueringvar replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There's the thing. If I'm not mistaken, Rocky Mountain as a company is kind of small. If that's the case, they don't have the capacity to manage four or five coasters (plus flat rides) a year like Intamin or Mack Rides does. Then I think they need to tear Mean Streak down and add an Intamin pre-fab woodie. -

The Official TPR Video Thread!

Looks Like a really intense invert. The turn towards the cobra roll is FAST! Does the little hill before the break generate airtime?
