Man, what a cool addition! It is indeed the world's first racing launch coaster, "coaster" being singular. It definitely looks to be a Premier-built ride, because those trains are unmistakably Sky Rocket trains with some nice dressing. I agree with the idea that both WCR and Maxx Force are designed by Ride Centerline, because the flow and elements are very similar to each other. I would say the same for Steel Curtain, and I might even guess Alan Schilke could have done them all as well! I wonder if the renders just recycle the track style or it really will have something similar

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Nice to see you on the forums! I'm guessing you've been spending this whole process laughing your butt off to discussion in this thread I'm very excited for your future projects, great job on this one, you may have one of the greatest roller coasters ever in your hands (as if you didn't already...)! -
I probably should have spent more time working on the phrasing of that lol. When I say they're similar I mean mainly by association, I can tell the differences. The main thing is that variety and filling gaps in the lineup is better. If they'd like to they can get a thrill ride, but perhaps something different or more unique. Not complaining about the idea

What would go there....Who knows. What I'd like to see there....A Mega-Lite style coaster. They already have Cheetah Hunt, which is pretty similar so I think they'd avoid it. But going with the sister-park logic that SeaWorld does, perhaps they could even just take it down and put a new GCI there to fill the lack of a wooden coaster, maybe a more intense kind a la Gold Striker compared to InvadR. It's an interesting situation, but as long as it doesn't stand SBNO for much longer and something happens I'd be happy.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

This will be a real challenger for #1 ride in the park for many guests! It blows away records, has a crazy layout, and a fabulous park to be in! I'm quite sure the Cedar Point fanboys have been appeased (for now)... As with Twisted Timbers, this new train modification they're doing is very strange to me. I feel like it may be part of an attempt to fix friction issues, or something of that nature. I don't exactly like the look of the new zero cars, but it's not anything that will detract from the experience. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

Uhhhh... okay? ---------------------- Great announcement as expected, can't wait to see an HD video of it! And hopefully I can visit and help bring my count up to 100 during the trip! -
If Movies could do it... so could games?
PixelRush replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If it wasn't such a graphic series, Doom would be absolutely fantastic for a ride like Justice League! The new soundtrack is super heavy and almost makes you feel invincible like Doom Guy himself! It also wouldn't work because of the general demographic it would be made for. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
PixelRush replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When I visited SFGAdv recently, hearing people put "the" in front of coaster names was a bit annoying. What made me want to punch one lady was "the El Toro." That's not even just amusement park GP stupidity, that's just ignorance to an easy-to-translate Spanish phrase... I also would like to ask if there's a thread dedicated to the most memorable/best things you've heard/said at an amusement park. If not, I'd love to create one! -

People believe Railblazer is for CGA. I was hoping it'd be Railblazer myself, but I don't think it'll happen after all. There are many references to card games coming out recently, so people are now thinking it'll be related to that. I really can't trust anything until we see real information. -
"Tiny Planet" - Like them or not?
PixelRush replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Only the first pic looks alright to me, the rest are messy. -
Looks very promising, I'm excited to see this thing in real life! This will also be a great new beginning for RMC, breaking away from their typical practice. I like the theme choice, though I wish the color was a little more like Wonder Woman (I understand the idea of the lasso anyway). I would expect red, blue and silver but it's not that way because Superman is right there
-
I got zero flips on Joker. Kinda disappointing but I'll give it a try my next visits. And yes the Mind Eraser trains have kept me from demanding its removal. I rode it hands up with no problems! Apart from the wacky transitions and lateral shifts, I enjoy it! Just make it Harley Quinn and you have a full package

Thoughts on short tunnels?
PixelRush replied to Samuel's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Superman's has two tunnels that make it even better, especially at the bottom of the drop with mist, lights, and the cutout you travel through. The noise it generates makes it feel more intense than it really is! And the second tunnel (though brief) is a great off-ride visual and still fun to ride as well. -

You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....
PixelRush replied to PCW_Nut's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know y'all know what we gonna do now... Though this isn't directly coaster related, I listen to the Disney queue loops during my engineering work as well Every time the number 325 comes up (quite a lot recently) I get excited lol I got a Fastpass for Test Track for 3:25 and I told my friend and he was so confused... -

The second inversion is a stall, similar to that of Wicked Cyclone's but more banking and a drop out of it. This clearly explains it: Not new, it's been around since at least the 2015 season. Maybe it was a teaser back in 2015 that we never paid attention to. I'm sure the park new about RMC Mean Streak back in 2015. Mean Streak is getting the Iron Horse Treatment. Maybe I'm completely wrong and I'm overthinking things. This wouldn't happen as nice as it may seem simply due to Maverick being horse related and directly next door. But I do believe that iron horse was used intentionally as a teaser for what's being done currently. -
I had the idea to go this coming weekend, but as you all know Joker officially opens on Saturday. Would the crowds be better on that day or Sunday? If the lines were too long for it, I could just go elsewhere in the park with lesser lines (I'd have a newcomer to coasters and rides with me). Or would it be better to just wait for another weekend? I'm not too familiar with weekend crowds, since I mainly go midweek over the Summer to avoid large crowds.
