Reminds me of El toro.

Their working pretty damn fast! I agree Justin, with that banking the coaster should be fast. If they bank the line do you think it will be faster?? j/k. Some of these arguments on here are ridiculously funny..

I wish...

 

Something i just noticed, herearound the ground there are more supports for what looks like a turn.

[SFOGdude25]

YAY!!

[fbk2711]

^^ There are supports EVERYWHERE that are for turns!

[rcknrollercoast]

Hmm.. I don't suppose anyone wants a hint about all this excitement?

[TexTitan01]

Hint? WHERE????????

 

wow, that hill just screams airtime, and from what I can tell -this is really nerdy for me to say- the hills a pretty good looking parabola (god I cant belive I just said that... )

[coasterfreak11]

^ I can be really nerdy and say that nearly all airtime hills similar to that are parabolas. Maybe you were talking about the standard parabola!

 

 

Anyway, I can't wait until they announce this thing! Why can't they just tell us when so we can all mark our calendars?

[jamesdillaman]

^All the fanboys would be dissapointed when they say "Look at our new Aquatrax we're building!! Aren't you all excited?" They're waiting to break it to them gently.

standard parabola!

 

?

 

There's only 1 definition for a parabola:

 

Y=mx^2

[coasterlover420]

Oops....

 

hmmm........I need to get a new math teacher! lol

[ECZenith]

Nice airtime hill, I hope it's true there's e a couple more just like that!

[Twister II]

A regular parabola is Y=X^2

[ParkTrips]

no its not.. that's just an exponential function, a quadratic (which maps a parabola) needs an x^1

 

Now stop discussing this off topic/boring stuff and continue the hilarious webcam drooling!

Not necessarily...

 

 

^ I can be really nerdy and say that nearly all airtime hills similar to that are parabolas.

No, they're not.

 

There's only 1 definition for a parabola:

Y=mx^2

No, there aint "only one".

 

I thought quadratics were y= ax^2 + bx + c

Yes. finally a reasonable proposal...

 

A regular parabola is Y=X^2

Hell, not again!

 

For your convenience I will now provide some more buzzwords coming in very handy for talking about any airtime hills:

 

- elliptic ejector

- clothoids

- exponential splines

- force vector designs

 

So you might as well use these also, for sounding real nerdy while at the same time not quite knowing what it's about, just like you have already done with these parabolas...

Zzzz... zzzz..... zzzz... zzzz...

[HCOSurfer90]

Ugh, that reminded me of Sophomore year math, and that my Junior year starts in 2 weeks

[TexTitan01]

Red, please save the calculus babble for the Elementary Soup? I dont think everyone here can process that without having a stroke

[BeemerBoy]

So then what is the clothodial, exponential spliningal force vector of the elliptical parabola of aqua?

[Carnage]

^^ Calculus? Not even. That painful discussion was more like grade 11 math.

[jamesdillaman]

OMG OMG OMG, what is happening on the webcam!!!???

Wow! I can't believe those girls took their tops off. That was hot.

 

Good thing I captured the screen before the pic changed.

[jamesdillaman]

^ I know, and did you see their perfect parabola shaped.... Nevermind, keep it PG...

 

-James Dillaman

[Carnage]

^ I'm making a parabola in my pants.

 

Wait, that's not PG is it?

[cprocks22]

^LMFAO

Second theres a new blog

EDIT: While your there check out Extra Point... Seriously.
