Perhaps the blocking and computer systems on Twisted Colossus are more sophisticated than we are anticipating. I would like to hope that as long as Six Flags runs at least 2 trains on TC that the computer and blocking systems will do the rest. LIke people were pointing out how when Dueling Dragons dueled the lift hill speeds would adjust etc; THAT WAS IN '98! The advancement of computers has increased 100 fold since then.

But you can't go get a Double-Double animal-style right after riding Wicked Cyclone, now, can you? Ugh. I just have to rant about this... In-N-Out is the most overrated restaurant on the planet. I really think people like it just because they have been told "You have to think it's cool, and people on your Facebook page will think you're cool if you check in here." I lived most of my life with one ten minutes away from my house. I didn't dislike it, but I never understood why people went crazy for it. The burgers are not that amazing. They are "ok" at best. Shake Shack, Five Guys, Burger 21, The Counter all have better burgers. But I guess there isn't any bragging rights at those restaurants, are there? The awful pretentiousness of your average southern Californian "I'm better than you because I live here" a$$hat was one of the main reasons I had to get away from that terrible state. /end rant --Robb "I'd rather go to White Castle." Alvey I agree, everytime I pass by an In and Out it befuddles me why the line is always down the block. Their food isnt BAD by any stretch, it just isnt special. Much rather have Five Guys, The Habit, Fuddruckers, or Red Robin

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

Kinda speaks volumes to how well built/maintained The Raven is... so many people licking their chops at the prospect of Legend and/or Voyage getting hands laid upon them by RMC -
I hadn't actually thought of it that way until now. I'm surprised they didn't announce it as being the first coaster on the planet to have two high five sections. At first I thought Twisted Colossus was a racer but when I heard it had two lift hills I was like huh? and watched the video again realizing it's twice around the same circuit (tracks changes from blue to green right before the second lift hill) which means the high five element twice (once on each side). I think it will be a four train ride with a dual loading station. This would make it easier to sync the trains' dispatches so they can duel. When one train is in rehab, it could still duel with three train operation and one side of the station. It could possibly be a five train ride with a dual loading station but that is wishful thinking and one train would always be stacked. RCDB says the ride only has two trains I can see the lines all the way back to Apocalypse already

Just goes to show that speed isn't everything, Batman is half the speed of Superman but twice the intensity -

[youtu_be] [/youtu_be]Has anyone noticed or mentioned that several of the screams and coaster sounds heard on the animation vid for Thunderbird are from this video? Particularly at 1:05 amd 2:55. Random, but interesting -
Complaints about complaining! But then I guess I'm complaining about complaining about complaining. Perhaps someone will complain about me complaining about complaining about complaining. Let's see if Twisted Colossus has as many inversions as the the number of times "complaining" has appeared in the this thread the last few days
