It's almost like they're trying to get the ride converted to floorless before the season ends. -
How do you ride?
Projektion replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For steel coasters, depending on how tight the restraints are decides whether I've got my hands up or am holding on. Like when I went on Shambhala in October last year, I managed to get the restraint down somewhat tight (not stapled but a firmly pressed down) so I kept my hands up for most of the ride. When I went back in April, I'd gotten a tad bit fatter, which meant I was just off getting the restraint down one more notch to give me that security of putting my hands up. For woodies, I generally have a ride while holding on to get a feel for the laterals, then on other rides I have my hands up, but then grab on with 1 or both hands when a strong lateral comes up. I like to do these with both my hands up and legs stretched. It enhances the freefall feeling. I try doing that, but as soon as the weightless-ness kicks in, I'm like "oh ****" and grab on for dear life. -

What's New for 2015

http://rcdb.com/9863.htm Here you go. Yes! This sounds very interesting. I highly doubt it will open on time. AFAIK nothing happened on the construction site yet. If it doesn't, does this mean 2015 could be the first year in over 2 decades where Intamin hasn't built anything? -

As much as that seems extremely unlikely, I hope it's true. -

I knew this BCN world expansion was going to be big when they first announced it, but stretching all the way down from the park to the sea just seems like too much. -

If I'm honest, I kinda thought the same thing about Helix while it was being constructed. I saw everyone raving about it and how amazing it was going to be/look, and I just didn't get it. As for WC, I'm so looking forward to it, even just for the real POV's since I'll likely never get to ride it in person. -

What is the best concert you have ever been to?
Projektion replied to SonOfBeastSucks's topic in Random, Random, Random
It's not that they hate america, it's just when they got arrested in 98, it kind of left a sour taste in their mouths. The poor feedback they got from their 2001 also didn't help. That said, since they got an amazing response after their 2011 and 2012 tours, they should be back when the next album is out, albeit after an extensive EU tour. -

Rammstein, just Rammstein in general. I've seem them 3 times and each time they have been phenomenal. The heat from the flames is just unbelievable, you really need to experience it to believe it. -

I'm kind of on the fence about this now, it looks like what I wanted it to look like (a cleaned up RCT3), but I'm still a bit sceptical about the coasters, since they haven't really truly showed them off yet and it's kind of supposed to be the main part of the game. As for the overly themed rides, for the moment I'm okay with them, I mean, RCT3 did the same thing by both very themed versions and generic looking versions of most of the rides, and it looks like RCTW is going to be doing the same thing atm.

Before this season, you would swear the mcbr was just turned off all the time. -

I think it's mostly because the cost generally includes the theming as well, or am I mistaken. -

I rode it just at the start of the season, the only points that get affected are the dive out of the brakes (which is a tad bit slower) and the loop (which now has floater instead of hammering you into your seat). The corkscrews are pretty much still as snappy as they've ever been. As I said a couple of pages ago, the neuter is not ride ruining, it changes the experience of the first 2 elements out of the brakes, but it does not ruin the ride.
