hansa Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Teststrecke/Doppel Looping Stuttgarter Fruehlingsfest 11 may 2014. It ran super smooth. 2 loopings with only a lapbar
firewalk13 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Mean Streak last weekend. Of note, you may have heard it had some work done in the offseason. That little bit of new wood really makes a difference, for like 3 seconds (a moment of buttery smoothness). Even though the work done was pretty limited it was, however, a great place to do some work. That drop had been the ouchiest part of the ride unless you were in the front row imo. I have to imagine a complete retracking would do the coaster justice and be an acceptable option rather than just tearing it down and replacing it entirely or turning it into a steel or hybrid coaster. If completely retracked with the amazing work done these days by GCI, Gravity Group, and RMC, they could get rid of the trims on the 1st drop and let the thing sizzle as it did in 91 (but not painfully!) Even new it was rough, then within 3 years it was absolutely brutal on the 1st drop until they put those trims in (and then it became boring). Charles Dinn, who believed people were not fans of negative Gs, managed to include one moment of airtime in the design, but the thing drags ass so much now you can barely tell. I believe I would enjoy the layout as it is now if it were smoother & faster, with some smarter banking and you could still feel the Gs and enjoy all the headchoppers without being repeatedly concussed.

DoinItForTheFame Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Outlaw Run.. Yesterday... Yesterday was also my first time riding Outlaw Run.... and all I can say is ... It is amazing. Words can not express how awesome this coaster actually is.
cal1br3tto Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Timberhawk at Wild Waves on opening day. Marathoned it with almost all walk-ons. Definitely a front seat ride, the only time I ever chose to wait a train.
Superbatboy Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Gatekeeper, still don't understand the hate this ride gets
Nrthwnd Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Corkscrew in Playland, PNE Vancouver. Â I had to convince myself again, that riding it last week with TPR, AND it riding smoothly, was a fluke..... Â It wasn't. Still pretty good. I was surprised. So congrats to Playland for the upkeep of this Celebrity Coaster, lol. Thar she be - Destination 3...... part of It.
CoasterGuy06 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Centispeed at Alabama Splash Adventure. Â It made me feel like a dirty credit whore
coastercoaster5 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Revenge of the mummy at universal studios hollywood. Had the best run on that ride i have ever had. Two moments of extreme airtime!!!!!
SuperShawn Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Verbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg  What a coincidence, that's the last coaster I rode too.
Heth Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Nemesis at Alton Towers  Pretty much the only group on the ride, but always great fun!
cal1br3tto Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Centispeed at Alabama Splash Adventure. It made me feel like a dirty credit whore Wait...is that name the result of the Wacky Worm naming contest?
rcdude Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Batman The Ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain a couple weeks ago. Definitely a different experience when you're going backwards, but not one I particularly enjoy.

PhantomNick Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Closed out a marvelous visit to Kennywood on Sunday with a spin on Sky Rocket, the coaster that I love more and more each time I catch a ride on it! Those Premier launchers (especially this newer breed) are tons of fun!
eddie200330 Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Comet at Hershey after the kids school trip........great day with no waits and walk on everything.
