I know this has been mentioned before in this thread before but I cant seem to find it, and i'm pretty sure that I commented on it. Does anyone know what the height maximum (if any) there is for HRRR. I'm heading down to Orlando in January and I was gonna make a special trip for part of the day to Universal if I can ride HRRR. Thanks

IAAPA Euro Attractions Show Report

I'm loving the look of the new Vekoma restraints more and more. They look great and wicked comfortable. Great report, it looks like you had a great time. -
Photo TR: Florida August 2009

Great pictures, I am heading down there at the end of January, and cant wait to experience some of the new rides since my last visit. Again, those are some amazing pictures. ^That would be interesting to see them paint it especially since it goes over the water, but it could use a little paint here and there. -
Vekoma Builds Big Air Coaster

Looks great, I have always wanted to ride a half pipe ride. Maybe next summer I will get to a park that has one. -

That Grizzly Coaster looks amazing, even if it might be a Vekoma. I have no problem if it is because I found Everest to be a very good quality ride. I find that Disney can keep up with Vekoma's and make sure they are running nice and smooth. Also Radiator Springs looks like it is just what the doctor ordered for DCA. Another great custom, one of a kind attraction ( though similar to Test Track) for the Disney Land Resort. Great TR. -
Should B&M ever make a launch coaster
coasterfan21 replied to madmagic200's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I dont see why not, if not hydraulic, maybe a LIM launch. Also Hulk at Islands of Adventure is a launch coaster. So in a sense they already have built a launched coaster (just not hydraulic), so all they have to do now is create a hydraulic launched version. I could see some great coasters designed by them with a launch if they tried it. -
Revenge of the Mummy
coasterfan21 replied to coastercrazy216's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I feel the same way, after riding the Florida version I rode the Hollywood version and was disappointed, especially with the ending. I was left sitting there thinking wow this is it. It was still a fun ride though, don't get me wrong but Florida's version is much better in my opinion. -
Nürburgring launched coaster
coasterfan21 replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ My bet is for Laser Snake Horse on Fire lol, but seriously, I hope that S&S can work out the kinks with their launched coasters because they have not had a very good track record with them. -
Golden Ticket Awards 2009

Bizzaro: Me am #1 again!! I don't agree with all of this but I am glad that Illuminations won. It is by far the best show I have ever seen, I could watch it every night and still love it. -
Nürburgring launched coaster
coasterfan21 replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ Ya same here. I was surprised to see it on that show looking like it was in full operation, and now hear of this major incident before it even opens to the public. Hopefully more details of what went wrong will come out in the next few weeks. -
Nürburgring launched coaster

I'm just happy that no one got hurt I mean that could have been a serious accident if there were people on it. Same here, but from one of the pictures that they took of what looks to be part of the launch mechanism it looks pretty serious. Only time will tell. Not to mention how long Kingda Ka was down when it had its "major" accident right after it opened. I know they are two different types of accidents and coasters but both still use some serious force to accelerate the train. If this is anything as bad as they seem to be making it, this might be a very long fix I fear.
