I was disturbed by this support. Love the structure of that Butterfly element, some serious engineering happened there. -

^ He was already arrested. I think he's going to spend a long long time in prison. -

The owner of this inverting Frisbee produced it in house without any kind of permit. The local safety department wasn't even informed that this ride will be running during that time. This ride is illegally produced, illegally installed and illegally ran by the owner without ride operating permit. -

It's like saying Premier S:UF is a Maurer SkyLoop rip-off, just because they are some similarities, doesn't mean they are knock-offs. It's not like B&M will ever even come close to pushing 6.3G's... All the details made this ride looks so much better! -
What is your favorite TV-series?

Modern Family, Will and Grace, Friends, Scandal, Shameless and Gotham are some my favorites, in the exact order. -
Ocean Park Discussion Thread

Pretty much impossible. Ocean Park's subway station is not opened yet so you'll spend at least 1.5 hours on the bus between Admiralty and Ocean Park. You'll need to ride OP's cable car or Ocean Express to reach Hair Raiser, that's another 40 minutes. Add the time for Airport Express and subway, 4.5 hours isn't enough. Disneyland is a good choice though. If you're fast enough, grabbing Grizzily Mountain, Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain wouldn't be a problem. -
The only time you feel the transition from launch tunnel to transfer table is when the train comes back after launch and you hear the transition more than you feel it. I don't think this ride will have any problems. It might be noticeable durning the beginning and end of a cycle but it won't be anything uncomfortable. Same here, I hardly noticed the transitions on both Mr.Freezes. But Zombie will fly through the transitions at highest speed and pass them 10 times during each circle. Also Zombie is suppose to be smoother than Mr.Freeze so the roughness will become more noticeable. I'm sure Premier can keep it smooth, just curious how.

Indeed weird given that the restraints are locked and there are seat belts. Zamperla successfully made one... a 30 seat model... [youtu_be]https://youtu.be/Y3iLp_fEnZU[/youtu_be] Mondial as well, at Fantasy Island and Ocean Park. -

They kept both cars the same to save money for Phoenix maintenance I guess. -

It inverts. Kind of like Star Shape with HUSS cabin. -
It happened today around 5:00pm at a local festival fair in Henan Province. The mechanical arm of an Inverting Frisbee ride broke into two pieces DURING operation, at least 10 riders were thrown off. From the picture looks like that counterweight went around and hit the other half of arm after it snapped. Hope the injured riders will recover well. Remember, before you ride anything sketchy in China, rethink your decision! Source UPDATE: Henan rides "UFO" 19 people were thrown out of the fault Source Poor riders. Seriously??

Thanks for the honest review, Garbels! As expected, it's a forceless ride. How about the rattle, does it exist in the back rows? I'm really curious of their intention of putting a 10 degrees drop after the 5th turn. And what's with that helix? The only bigger ones that came to mind are Lisbergbanan's and Beast's.
