Dare Devil Dive at Six Flags Over Georgia is a solid coaster and butter smooth, but the hold brake that is supposed to make the drop more intimidating actually makes the 95 degree drop feel like nothing special at all. I wish they could just turn that hold brake off for good.
.
Concur with the bolded, and I think it sums up Eurofighters in general.
The ones that do not have the hold brake pack some real punch in my opinion. I find Dare Devil Dive to be probably the most enjoyable Eurofighter because it is smooth, lap bars only, and just a fun ride. If that drop wasn't held back it would have great airtime instead of just an ok mix of hang time and slight airtime.
On the flipside, even though it has a holding brake, I find Mystery Mine's 95* drop to be the highlight of the ride (besides the theming).

"T-Rex Coaster 1 looks too intense for me "
I really like the splitting coaster comparison
-
Definitely Everest for me
-
Yeah true... Still, it would be cool to have something like Battlestar Galactica, but where the track "joins together" for certain elements

"Love" is a really strong word to describe my opinion on Wildcat, but I don't personally have an issue with the ride. After all the hype of how bad it is, I rode it and got off and first thing I said was "coaster enthusiasts are pussies".
Yeah, some enthusiasts are. And the only reason I used love instead of like is because this was my first "big coaster", so it does hold a special place for me.
-
Could they have a sit down run on the top, and an invert run on the bottom of this? I think that would work in theory...

^ I personally love Wildcat, but to each their own i guess.

I like the way rocks are shaped by the speed of a train passing by.
I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out lol. That's awesome!

Im surprised we haven't seen some psychotic fanboys holding a candle light vigil outside the scrap yard to commemorate the final resting place of this track.
...or chained to the track, holding up "Save the Hulk" posters.

El Toro and Skyrush are good. Blue streak later in the day is also really good.
But I'm gonna have to join the Skull Mountain army. Especially when I rode in the back seat 6 times in a row, and thought i was gonna die
-
I'll jump on the Mean Streak game as well. That drop looks so good from off ride too.

^^ It was sort of misty all morning, and while I've never ridden Dominator before, I will say it was running pretty fast for a B&M floorless!
As for the rest of the park, we had no waits all day which was awesome Rebel Yell was running pretty smooth, and we got to ride Grizzly in the back row at 10:30 at night. That was actual insanity. Worst ride of the day was either anaconda or backlot. Anaconda was actually a good layout, but my shoulders hurt, and backlot did nothing for me. Best ride of the day was of course I305! It's hands down the most intense thing I've ever ridden (and yes, I've ridden Skyrush multiple times) and riding it in the back row at night was awesome! Volcano's hang time shocked the hell out of me lol. Only downside to the day was that the view from the eiffel tower was crap both times we went up.

I'm new here, but a long time lurker.
I'm going to Kings Dominion tomorrow, but it's supposed to be raining on and off all day. I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on their rain policy with their rides? It's going to be my first time there, and I don't want to miss anything because of the rain.
What's the lamest first drop you have been on?
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
