New 2011: Rainbow Magicland Themepark (near Rome - Italy)
hyyyper replied to Ledgy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Judging from what I've seen in the rest of the park, this building will be completely filled with Disney/Universal grade theming. -

Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
hyyyper replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It would ofcourse be 5x more awesome if it turns out that this ride is a dueling, one side with a lift and one side with a launch. Just dreaming out loud. -

Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread

Hmmm, not sure. A cutback is basically two corkscrews put together, while this looks more like a top-hat. So that would it make it an inclined-tophat. But I'm down with Banana-roll as well -

An Inclined Tophat? -
Ever Been The Only One On A Ride?
hyyyper replied to greatamerica1990sfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Umm lets see, I rode some coasters alone during TPR ERT, when everybody else had already gone to the next ride. From the top of my head: Silver Bullet at Knotts and Viper, Tatsu and Revolution at SFMM. Then there's Toverland, which is very near to me and open everyday. So there are days when there are only 50 people in the park. So that would add Boosterbike, Boomerang and Troy. -

Mitch Hawker 2010 poll
hyyyper replied to Skycoastin Steve's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Lol. But seriously, the speed can be affected by the weather, weight of riders and temperature. In optimal vs. worst conditions, speeds could vary a lot. For example, if you ride El Toro by youself in a morning in december or at the end of the day with a full ACEr-laden train at the end of an august day. I think most of you know what I'm talking about. -
You could place a brake segment, and have a stop time of several seconds. You do have to get the trigger position exactly right. Brake too early and your train will still be level, brake too late and train wont be stopped. But if you look closely at the (newer) divemachines, you can see they are not stopped, but rather slowed down A LOT, so you could also make it work by placing a lift segment with a low speed and high deceleration.

Mitch Hawker 2010 poll
hyyyper replied to Skycoastin Steve's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It is hard to explain. It might help to look at it coaster by coaster. If there are a certain amount of people that have ridden coasters A and B, and the majority prefers coaster A over B, coaster A will be ranked higher. If you crosscheck this will all the coasters in the list, you can build up a ranking with the best accuracy. -

In the early days: Yes. But since Ferrari got bought by Fiat, it's all about selling cars for the purpose of making money. -
