Leekak Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hate to be the one to ask, but Fury developed a rattle it's first season... Do you think Mako will get a rattle before the season is over? LOL - Do you think some of the paint will peel off after 2 weeks? Will one of the seats get dirty after a month? Im sorry but some questions - Really.

southpuddle Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 There must have been some tweaking going on early in the season with Fury, because I am normally a staunch B&M-hyper-hater, and I also thought Fury was without a doubt the best coaster experience of my life. There were points on the ride that legitimately felt out of control, and the airtime was phenomenal. The very same day I could have fallen asleep on Intimidator. Nothing like creeping over airtime hills at 5mph. I'm hoping that Mako's 4-across trains bring out a little bit of that new B&M intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theintimidator Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Hate to be the one to ask, but Fury developed a rattle it's first season... Do you think Mako will get a rattle before the season is over? LOL - Do you think some of the paint will peel off after 2 weeks? Will one of the seats get dirty after a month? Im sorry but some questions - Really. Uhhhh obviously paint is going to chip and seats are going to get dirty, but a rattle in its first year? That's not typical for a B&M. All the new B&M's seem to develop a rattle and I wanted some insight. So yes, really. If you were not going to give the insight I searched for, you did not have to be so sarcastic about it, but I appreciate all opinions! Thank you (: maybe I didn't elaborate. When I said rattle, I did not mean a slight vibration. I meant the train shakes against and the ride is rough. Fury can be smooth, but 70 of my rides have not been. It's not noticeable, but I pay attention to it, so maybe that's why I feel it. Edited April 28, 2016 by theintimidator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theintimidator Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I've been on Fury at least 100 times, it isn't butter smooth anymore. Montu and Griffon are though. It's not a rough ride by any means, but it does shake and I'm glad it does. It makes it feel more... Violent. But I'm the type that re rides all day long, so it'll get to me and it will eventually feel rough throughout the day. I just wanted to know if y'all thought Mako would do this.

Sits quietly and waits for our buddy Bill to chime in that Mean Streak is perfectly fine.....as long as you sit in the front, lean forward, grab an ear with one hand, pat your head with the other, and stick out your tongue. You're the best, coasterbill, but I just don't see Mean Streak as anything but boring and bordering on bone-rattling! Mako looks like a damn great coaster to me! Of course, I don't fall into the enthusiast camp of "everything B&M makes is forceless and lame" camp either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I read the original post and thought, "Actually Mean Streak is smoother than El Toro if you sit in the front and lean forward, but I won't post that because nobody will believe me and it sounds ridiculous... plus El Toro still sh*ts all over Mean Streak and is still very smooth". You guys are on to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanEagle15 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I know this may be not everyone's cup of tea but I had this in the back of my head ever since Dan of Mako Madness posted a picture on Facebook about The first 500 to sign up will be the first to ride on Mako's Preview day and also judging on what I've received in an email I've received. Would anyone be interested in going to sign up? Here's the E-mail I received not to long ago LIMITED PREVIEW EVENT "Register to join the Mako Preview and be among the first to ride" HOW: "First 500 to register inside the Pass Member Lounge May 21 or 22 at 10A.M. (no guests)" WHEN: "Wednesday, June 8, 2016 Check in (required) 4 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. Event is from 7:30 P.M. to 10 P.M.

AmericanEagle15 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 As much as I would LOVE to donate (I really would!) I have no money to bid anything So that's why I am planning to sign up for the preview day on the 8th by signing up for it, on the 20th, and 21st This month. Was wondering if anyone wanted to go to sign up and spend a day at sea world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 That's great, and it's a great cause but since they have a charity / wildlife conservation fund, I'm surprised they chose another charity (though of course, I love the one they chose).

AmericanEagle15 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The earliest that I've seen is June 8th on Mako Preview Day, 2 days before scheduled Opening. That's why I'm trying to form a group to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrider4 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The ride is ready to go, but the station and queue line still need a ton of work, so I wouldn't expect it to open for a while. Maybe softs by end of May, but it's doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
