After Banshee, it takes a while to get used to the drown out first drop. I really wish there will be more theming around the flyer. It's themed to eagle in the rainforest so some tree fly throughs would be awesome. Park's opening is coming soon so hope they will get their Intamin ready.

That giant cockroach really made me think about who hurt those designers. Forest Tample is nicely themed but I really didn't find the connections between scenes. There's satan followed by knights wearing the Scream mask and then there are bats and wolves... Great TR, thanks for sharing.

Next time just...

This! My head is above the restraint and I've never had a bad experience on Arrow loopers. Their track doesn't really give the rattling sensation, the head banging is mostly due to their track's banking axis. If braced properly, Arrow loopers are very enjoyable.

^ Please be the new Mack one. There are too many possible locations nowadays. Also the second picture kind of gives a Bluefire clone vibe...

Who's the manufacturer that came up with this? From what I remember PAX is limited to Ferris wheels now...

I built an intense version of that inverted coaster: Yep, still not a fan of the T3 color.

Watching the riders' reactions would be funnier than Japanese game shows. To me it's a solid nope.

You must be referring to what happened on Fujin Raijin II in 2007. At least I think that's what you're talking about. Yes

Whaaaaaa? Even Little Dipper is a better airtime machine... Here's a true conversation: GP: I don't think roller coasters are safe, what if they made a calculating mistake about the track's banked angle? Even 0.5 degrees of wrong banking is enough to make the train fell off. Me: You see, the majority of roller coaster trains use three sets of wheels each side to clamp the train to the track. The train cannot fall off even if it is hanging upside down. GP: Is three directions enough? Why don't they use four sets to secure it better? Me: I mean three sets on each side of the track, then you'll get secured from all four directions. (Then I drew a picture to show him how the wheels on Maverick works) GP: What if the wheels snap outwards? Me: It's pretty much impossible, only happened in Japan once from what I remember. GP: See? I said I don't think roller coasters are safe. Why did I even explain?

^ Efteling does a better job than Disney on certain things. I think their entrance is the most impressive park entrance in the world. Plus pretty much everything in Efteling is better themed than California Sleeping's station

Fixed

Great report! Thank you for posting the pictures! I wonder why Gerstlauer has to use chain on the first lift? Why don't they just use friction wheels instead?

Those parts! Perfection!

*cough* Great Bear *cough*

Now that Hades360 had been retracked, not that bad I'm afraid.

Teal track and orange support doesn't sound like a good combination, but in reality, this color scheme is amazing! I'm really curious of the train's color, if they are indeed going for pasta, probably yellow for the color of cheese. Post #4,000!

Haven't been on NTaG so I can't say how it feels like, but on both wave turns I've experienced(Outlaw Run and Bullet Coaster), there were very slight lateral. The parabola shaped hill is designed like a 0G hill but you are going through it sideways. The track then banked inside to give you sideway airtime. So I believe the force you've mentioned is airtime.

If you see me posting on social media more than 3 times within 10 minutes, I'm in line for a ride.

Comparing two undone coasters is pointless IMO, if you want to make meaningless comparison, go compare Kingda Ka and Expedition GeForce! Appreciate what you have, the majority of the world would be jealous of you if you have either TC or WC around.

^ The twins were destroyed there

^116 degrees The Immelmann looks like a combination of Gerstlauer Immelmann and Storm Runner Immelmann Airtime the whole way down!!

How about the cost of trains? Those trains can be very expensive and they are likely to buy a lot of them for higher capacity. Not sure how much Wicked's trains cost but they are adding the cost a lot more IMO. I still guess there is something special inside of that tower, free fall can be one possibility because duel elevator can let trains stay inside of the tower nearly twice the time.

With the technology nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a "gyro table"+free fall+inverting elevator lift.
