Adventureland (Iowa) Discussion Thread

^Its the connector between the two cars. Euro Fighter can only twist sideways (Like the zero car and first car on B&M) while Infinity Coaster's connector after the first two cars are like car 1 and car 2 of a B&M if that makes any sense. -

Also the track is different. Taron's track is kind of like Infinity Coaster's track. -
Coaster Wars: Attack of the Clones

Well back then most coasters were still painful. SLC is cheap, compact, reliable, high capacity, has 5 inversions and Vekoma has excellent after sales team. Most GP back then didn't really know what a smooth coaster is anyway. So yeah I can totally see why SLC was everywhere back in the 90's and early 2000's. -

Wow the speed at the top of the overbanked looks insane! And as usual, Intamin delivers some of the craziest twists! -

Maybe it's just me but I really don't like this car. But who cares it will be an amazing foster! -

Looks very nice. But I'm still not sure how their operation will be. How's the review of the Xishuangbanna park been? -

Most people don't travel around for theme parks and even if they do, they won't notice the track layout is the same because they refer coasters as "the tall red one at the back with 5 loops and that blue one that is like 200ft tall". Designing a new layouts is expensive and I don't see a reason why cloning a coaster layout is not okay. It saves you a ton of money and GP won't notice that (and enthusiasts' opinions don't matter) -

Is it just me overthinking or there's actually not much leg room? Also the front panel of every car is at the height of a rider's knee, shorter riders jumping off the seat will be more likely to hurt themselves. -
It's interesting how almost all the rides with inside loading dual station are at Disney or Universal parks. That does help with the capacity a lot. They must be running 4 trains. Otherwise the lockers at the station will not make sense. Hollywood Dream was running 3 forward and 1 backward train when we were there so I assume it is like that on Flying Dinosaurs too. Yeah there's no way it's worth a 12.5 hours wait, no ride in the world is worth it. (Dodonpa, maybe)

Apparently so many people tried it crashed the system and they sold out very quickly. It was really bizarre, I spend 4 hours trying to get the ticket and the website keeps crashing on every step. And I finally paid for the ticket at 4:07. But according to some news, the tickets were sold out within an hour!
