boldikus Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 More straight track! Perfectly flat, just for 100' or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'll still go with my old thought... straight track is underrated. RMC rides are constantly changing directions, which is a hallmark of their rides. That is fun, but mixing it up a little bit is fun to. More straight track! Perfectly flat, just for 100' or so. Yeah, couldn't agree more! RMC drops are great, but don't hold a flame to amazing Japanese Jet Coasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 More straight track! Perfectly flat, just for 100' or so. You must have been a big fan of Boblo's Skystreak and its unusual "low flat" element. Check it out below at 1:23 [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] I only went to Boblo once as a kid ages ago. I don't remember the ""low flat" being anything special; pretty anti-climactic, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm thinking of the flat sections on Apollo's, Magnum, Millennium, Raven, Demon... but if some wanna run with the sarcasm that's ok too. I can handle it. The flat sections on the Beast would be nice too if there weren't so many of them... and the ride was fast like it used to be Variety is nice, as is a change in pace. But just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) ^^ ...and relocated to Mexico, where it's still running as... Titan Selva Mágica (Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico) TPR on Titan in Selva Magica Park, Mexico. That 100' "flat element." Whee!!! TPR 2013 Mexico Tour.

njcoasterguy34 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Another coaster with a nice flat section is Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Top Thrill Dragster has the best flat section of track in existence, between the station and the part where it jerks you 420 feet straight up into the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The flat sections on the Beast would be nice too if there weren't so many of them... There aren't too many for me. The straight flat sections of speed on Beast are what makes it so fun for Emily and I, since we usually aren't fans of typical wooden rib cage jostling coasters. As far as straight sections of track on other coasters, just keep it to yourself. You'll upset the nerds with commends like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Theme Parks. Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Turtle is sorta "flat" and sorta a "coaster" [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Be careful saying that...the enthusiasts will accuse Kennywood of marketing the Turtle as a roller coaster!

ImNotOneOfYou Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Cedar Point should build a japanese-style jet coaster that travels through the park, possibly over a midway. They could market it as a Scenic Railway and anger coaster enthusiasts and intrigue normal people. #CP2020 right? Interlocking helix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP Maverick Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 So, that Twitter account that showed up about a week ago seems to have access to high res photos from inside the park. Would it surprise anyone if these were "officially" leaked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though watch it be Tony in disguise, and if it is, it might be the most genius marketing approach ever, at least to enthusiasts lol.

Speaking of Pipe Scream, do they run it on a different program during Halloweekends? It was spinning fast as heck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
