rcjp Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 I would like to question the quality of the newer B&M's, those rattle are seriously getting bad. Even Dragon is smoother than Hair Raiser that day. Yeah, that's weird. Even though not all of their new coasters are rattly you have to remember that around 20 years ago none of their coasters (except maybe the standups) were. Some are actually smoother now (BTR at SFGAdv, for instance) than some of their new ones (Gatekeeper). I wonder what is going on.

They just have some headbanging due to the transitions of the coaster. Honestly, Mantis is way smoother than Banshee, Diamondback, and Gatekeeper.
rcjp Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 ^I'm saying this based on what I've heard as the only new B&M I've been on with a rattle was GK. Shambhala was actually the smoothest coaster I've ridden and it's new. But it amazes me how some of their 20+ year old rides are still great. (in terms of smoothness)

Mechanic Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Boomerang during night ERT at Knott's. Had I stopped to think about it, I would have made it something else. Oddly enough though, the ride was actually decent for a Boomerang.
cal1br3tto Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Roller Coaster at Country Mercantile. It's the same model as the last coaster I rode before it. In fact, I've ridden three this year.
