The pre drop isn't just to make it so that the train isn't 1/4 way down the hill before the other part is off the lift, it reduces a LOT of tension on the chain, which means that they'll have to replace it a lot less often. Andrew "Just thought I'd put my two bits of advice in" C.

Video TR: My Life Without TPR...
Golfie replied to Ryan King's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I almost died laughing in the first minute of the movie!!! What's funny is that... well... I do that... during... off season... maybe. Andrew C. -

B&M, Vekoma, Arrow Restraints
Golfie replied to LiVeToThRiLl90's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm SUPER skinny, but I never have a problem with slipping out of the restraint... I don't really see how that could happen, either (crotch spike and seat belt restraint holder) -
NL- P-51
Golfie replied to Waterpark101's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I liked the layout, but IMO, the inversions are all taken too slowly. I loved your support work, but at some points, you DID go overboard with too many of them. Finally, some of the elements are jerky and not smooth. I don't know if you were trying to do this, but it's rather distracting. I DID, however, love the layout and overall idea. Nice job!

Is this a coaster?
Golfie replied to philcoaster83's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think that I would count it... I woldn't count the type that just goes like a bobsled. -
I have that feeling, too sometimes on Raging Bull. My guess is that since the radius of the curve leveling out is so small, it seems like your body just rotates and then moves forward.

Lift-hill coasters versus launched coasters
Golfie replied to AndyGiles's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Chainlifts will never disappear. First of all, they're MUCH more expensive electricity wise and mantinence wise. Plus, B&M didn't like making Incredible Hulk since they believe that coasters should ALWAYS use a chain lift. Andrew "Don't worry about it!" C. -
Do we need to have OHR on Coasters
Golfie replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It would be impossible to have a lap bar on SLC's and inverteds because there is no floor to attach the lap bar to. Sure, there's the bottom of the seat, but would that really be safe? Andrew "They're fine how they are now." C. -

TR - Hersheypark 8/22/06---with rollback :-)
Golfie replied to deguy123's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Haha! The height signs. That is probably the most genius height system I've ever seen in a park. It saves so much of the trouble of waiting in line for two hours, just to find out that your kid is too short. I wish I could go back to Hershey - the Comet was my first roller coaster. They have so many great rides now, I really need to go again! Andrew "ChOcOlAtE!" C. EDIT: I totally forgot about Trailblazer! I can't remember much about it, but I remember that I started crying since I was so scared to go on it. (I thought it went upside-down and didn't trust the rest of my family who had already gone on it.) However, by the end of the night I ended up going on it. -
That is not a very good idea for the park. People who have to be saved will need to sign a consent form saying that they allow MTV to put them on television; therefore, they'll have to end up making fake plots since I can imagine that NO ONE will want to watch themselves drown on TV.

Lol at the "Whoop-De-Woos" Nitro always looks fun... I need to get to GAdv before I die... or at least go to College. Andrew C.
