MiABeta

Don't forget about MiA and VF. #MiA2017B&M325ftDiveCoaster #VF2018B&M425ftStrataCoaster. The future looks bright for us smaller parks!

Honestly I loved leviathan, and at some points I find more enjoyable than Millenium Force. Every time I ride Maverick, I honestly do feel like I'm about to get my legs broken by it.

Ah remember reading it now, also the park is pretty dead today, Rougarou was a walk on at 3:30.

Which ride was supposed to be named Banshee?

Does Tennessee Tornado have the wheel gap issue? I know that's one thing bad about most arrow loopers. Magnum wouldn't have been horrific if we all (my group I was with), push each other's lapdars as far down as they would go. It hurt, i'm not going to lie.

I mentioned this earlier this year. I visited Great Adventure for the first time in June and wanted to compare Kingda Ka and of course ride El Toro (F'n AMAZING). I noticed that the general public really didn't seem to care much when Kingda Ka opened. It was misty and raining throughout the morning and it eventually opened in the afternoon. It just didn't have the same "feel" that you get when you notice people see Top Thrill is open. It was over hyped and frankly I felt Dragster is still the better of the 2, but I'm sure you know what I mean by that "feel" in the park. Every time I've been to CP TTD opened late and you could hear people walking around and telling their group it was open... We took shifts those times to keep an eye to see if it was open.

Anyone else click the countdown timer picture?

Took me a while, but

At the beginning of you can see the Valravn track sitting outside the factory. Just thought that was entertaining.

Probably not, the B&Ms at SWO both are sand filled to be quieter for the animals. Montu is pretty close to the animals and has a very loud b&m roar. Kumba isn't near any animals (other than people) but you can hear the roar from across the park. It would be cool if it had a b&m roar. Never been to Busch Gardens but it just seems that SeaWorld has always been under fire more about animal safety than most other parks, so i think it would make sense. Manta and Kraken don't have it. They are actually the two quietest B&Ms I've ever been on.

Nina Kleppe no like?

Probably not, the B&Ms at SWO both are sand filled to be quieter for the animals.

Only one: sky rider at CW

I raise you my nspire cx cas. And atleast were sure that this dive track is CP's.

I think we all wish we knew, with CP supposedly receiving some track earlier today, it just seems to make this whole very little expansion thing suck more. We can hope they announce something soon atleast.

Rmc! It sucks that we probably wont get anything until the relations improve, or CF sees the need for a new B&M at MiA. Maybe an el-loco? Honestly Intamin have higher maintenance than B&Ms so I actually think we would see a B&M before Intamin even if the relations return back to normal. Maybe B&M will crawl out of its force-less-crap-hole, takes some chances, and make a Mega-Lite. B&M did make a family invert, maybe they are looking to expand business? I wonder what the price tag on a B&M mega-lite would be if they did ever make one. Didn't realize how cheap ST really is. Dang. Honestly though every time I go I see people working on ST so I can't see how maintenance doesn't like it.

Are the trains that much wider than Wing Riders? Thunder Bird has a vertical loop.

Dang! I'm leaving for Canada the day after the announcement. I would love to take a trip though. Oh well gotta get my ride on Leviathan. And get more credits. And cry realizing i'm riding Leviathan over Mille...

I'm sure RMC could at least make Wildcat A LOT better that it currently is. The day i see a B&M at MiA would probably be my death day... It just doesnt seem natural, I would LOVE it if there was one though!

it does say they have much to tell you, it could be a tease but more on the aspect of "if we ever get anything new, joining our newsletter will allow you to be the first to know!" Also I read on the CP thread that most if not all CF parks are getting old/refurbished flat rides. Any ideas of MIA?

Roller Coaster 1 looks like a Chinese attempt to make Corkscrew at MiA. "Roller Coaster 1 looks like it has too much headbanging for me"

Thats how Maverick and TTD works, so i suppose if CP got a dive machine it possibly could too.

I agree that the Griffon trains look a little unwieldy (although it's kind of cool to see that huge train turning upside above you when you are standing on the bridge watching it). Although I would prefer bigger trains to increase capacity, I suspect we will see slightly narrower ones to deal with the all the maneuvers it apparently will have after the drop (if the Sandusky Register article was credible). With B&M making faster lifts, I would argue that it might be possible to see dual loading stations and a fast lift. These would help increase the capacity and allow for smaller trains that can do tighter maneuvers. Dual loading like Manta at SWO? Its a tight turn coming out of the station on the switches, I don't know if the large Dive Trains could make it around.

Don't forget CW has an empty spot from their Togo standup as well.

Although its like comparing apples to oranges, (or blueberrys to tomatoes even), Maverick has a far better layout, with more intensity and the such. But Millennium Force is still one of the best I've ever been on. Mille is definitely more re-rideable however, even with the new restraints Maverick still can hurt your legs pretty bad. But still one ride is almost enough for Maverick.
