the sound Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Man, that thing Kicks Ass! ^^^ I agree with you rob, but i am more interested Eenjankaja this for 1 reason. Its only about 8173 Km from my house!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen_AZN Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I agree with Robb and Ride6, the ride doesn't look dramatically different compared to X, and, to be honest, the Full-Full doesn't look as amazing as it sounds on paper, but it all comes down to riding the bad boy, so i could be very wrong. Having said taht, X is my difinate #1 coaster, and im sure this is just as amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 It's like you almost have to go on the Japan trip... X was awesome, this looks better. Must ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumboshrmp Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Can anyone answer the question about where the 14 inversions come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 What is it with this thing... Someone educate me on this. Is this not the second steel coaster under the S&S-Arrow name, and the second coaster with one of these things? What exactly is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I know it's obviously a trailing wheel set, but it seems like it could relay info like track position to the station instead of using sensors throughout the ride. I agree with Rob as well, I would ride this if I went to Japan, but I wouldn't go to Japan to ride ONLY this. It would still make me excited, though, since I rode X after a four-five hour wait and dehydrated, I may have overly hyped it inside to make me feel like it was worth it They could do so much more with the ride, like rotate the two sides differently (unless they "have" to be parallel by some cylinder mechanism). And I too wonder what the hell that THING with wires and air conditioner looking thing is for . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragoncoaster1292 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Fuji-Q just got 1000000000000000000 times better. That Full-Full looks really disorienting! It looks awesome! I shall hopefully ride it someday, and things are looking up for it because my cousin is obsesses with Japan, and she may take my family and I there with her someday! Wheee!

SLUSHIE Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Um.. its a computer. IDK what more else to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdShiftCM Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'll start by saying that I really enjoy X but, i'm not waiting forever to go on it. That said, there seems to be a lot little changes to the overall ride. The biggest of those changes in the station, new maintenance and transfer table area and drop away floor which you would think would cut down on load times and general wear and tear. When it comes to the actual ride, they seem to have done all they could to smooth the ride. The trains appear at least to me, to travel at a more consistent rate and the longer turn around I'm sure helped a lot. I, also think the smaller trains will help a lot also but, like was said nothing really "NEW" about the ride. But, I'll wait until we get some reviews back from the few that will get to ride both.

Edwardo Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I personally really enjoy X, so I can't wait to finally get on this one. As per the computer thing on the back, IIRC, someone said that it was for (at least partially) the restraint system. Which, I believe, is controlled by compressed air (hence the tube on the back). Of course, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roasted_marshmallow Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Oh man, that looks sick... but then I'm a coaster newb compared to all of you, and that would beat any steel coaster I've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ofthebluesbros Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 This coaster is both gorgeous and looks like it's amazingly fun! I loved X, even though it is a bit bumpy at the end, its one of the best coasters I've ever been on, and I hope I get a chance to ride this one!

CycloneMan Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Looking back. I cant believe I waited 2 1/2 hours for this! It was really wild, fast, and never gave me a second to breath. I went on with my twin and little sister, and it was a great experience! But having "Eejanaika" chanted in your ears for 2 hours wasn't fun! But, this was my 100th coaster, so it made all the difference! -Dainan "I need to ride X now" Rafferty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I haven't been on X in a few years, but Eejanaika was totally insane. I don't remember X being this nuts, but it's been awhile. I guess it is the full-full element that makes the difference. When I got off of E I was blown away, but once was enough for me. It is rather rough, but your head won't get too beat up...the cars just bounce a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetrial3141592 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Funny. I watched the E video and counted two track inversions and enough seat inversions to bring it up to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'll wave at you all going by and take pictures...from the ground. I'd lose my sushi on that thing! Wierdly, the view from the lift hill had a Gatlinburg look to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 We rode it earlier in the week and were really disappointed. The roughness is just too much. I really think that a smaller 4 dimensional coaster would be better. This is one of the few rides that less speed would likely equal more fun.

All Clear Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 These just don't appeal to me at all. Not even a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
