Seems like B&M is always one step behind. All major manufacturers aside from B&M and Zamperla are building inverting coasters with lap bars and no shoulder straps, and only B&M can't make a few airtime hills without trim brakes, and their new rides pretty much guarantee mild to crazy rattling with the exception of maybe Shambhala. I taught everyone around me to hold the vest restraint on Wing Coasters, they all said the experiences get much better without that annoying thing. Furius Baco can do inline twist without ZacSpin style restraints, why can't Gatekeeper, which doesn't even have an inline twist get rid of it?

Old ones are far better, bust like B&M's old rides.

It's nice to see the new restraints, but I'm surprised CP didn't get the 10 riders per row trains.

Great TR, thanks for sharing your experience! This is art, it's the only place you can experience a Disney and Six Flags America combination!

Only B&Ms I've been on that don't have rattle are Great White, Diavlo and X-Flight. I think it has something to do with nylon wheels damaging the track.

Finally saw the lift!

You know you don't really have to love the new ride, right? If you don't like the ride, good, lines of the other coasters in the park will all get shorter.

What a great Throw Back Thursday? Now we are back to the time when SFMM does something nice. I'm glad they are investing money into this coaster, and to know they are still working with Gerstlauer.

What?

That spider on the powered coaster!

Goliath SFGAm. It's a very good coaster but way too forceless. Also the lateral G isn't as even and comfortable as on Outlaw Run.

Eejanaika got new trains? I know it was repainted but I didn't know it got new trains! Picture anywhere? No I didn't take pictures, it's the same train like those on Dinoconda. One more positive thing about Eejanaika, their loading process is very innovative. What they do is they divided the loading platform into four individual areas. Operators fill up two areas at a time and guests can leave their belongings in their areas. Eejanaika runs two trains so the areas for your train is exclusive. You can put on your shoes or whatever without having to rush or slowing down the loading process. I absolutely loved this design!

^Thanks for the info!

Going to the park on 13th, thinking about purchasing Platnium Flash Pass for Goliath. Is it still limited to one ride on Goliath or is it now unlimited? Thanks.

Thanks for the coverage, can't wait to go to Dollywood next year!

Lock up looks...interesting. Nagashima Spaland was great! Their two Schwarzkopfs and Intamin Gen1 free fall are classic and intense. Steel Dragon 2000 is a big surprise, definitely better than the B&M hyper intensity I was expecting. By the way, have they always been running their flats on a lame mode. Even though they were constructing the loading platform of Giant Frisbee and dusts are flying into riders' face.

That song is coming back! Oh noooo! It was a fun day at Space World, even with the rain. Their log flume is just awesome! Two of the best videos ever: [youtu_be]http://youtu.be/mLVYDvH6B-A[/youtu_be] [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

Intamin is still the most innovative one I think. Who else can do something like Falcon's Fury, Gringott's, invent continuous launch (Cheetah Hunt), invent drop track (TH13TEEN), build the fastest roller coaster, fastest cable lift, crazy Giga coaster with twists that nobody else can do in 5 years? Gerstlauer is doing fine as well, I think Kärnan's surprise element is the most innovate design of 2015. Triotech is Canadian just sayin'

Can't compare these two IMHO. Maverick is all about the intensity and Millennium Force is all about the gracefulness. I chose Maverick though.

That night was one crazy rush, Tokyo Station was enormous! What a great memory!

1. Olympia Looping 2. SkyRush 3. Intimidator 305 4. El Toro 5. Kärnan 6. Expedition GeForce 7. Boulder Dash 8. Dragon Khan 9. Medusa Steel Coaster 10. Voyage

Great update! Tobu Zoo is quite a memorable experience with two pretty solid coasters. Regina is kinda bitchy but still gives some quality air. That haunted house with the flower basket is pretty well-done, especially that scare actor at the end. Every park needs a Mega-Lite!

Woo! Same! Currently finishing up season 6. Ron Swanson is the best! Just finished Season 2, very high quality show. Amy Poehler's Welcome to Sweden is pretty cool as well.

Second roughest steel coaster I've been on, but that color scheme is very nice.

Did Stakotra make this type of track for Intamin? If they did there is indeed a slight possibility that this is a Premier Rides coaster.
