Loco Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The only thing I'm excited for on LZ is the completely stright drop, something rare on a B&M with inversions. Me too! After riding Medusa (west) I completely fell in love with the straight drop on a looping B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methos Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 This park looks good so far. I love the idea and the fact they seam to be heavy into theming it is great. Nice to see a park pay attention to detail!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Am I the only one that doesn't think Led Zeplin looks that impressive? It isn't the lack of size, it just seems like an average coaster with some very unoriginal elements. I don't get the hype. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people out there. Don't forget that this is the fifth B&M Sitting Coaster ever, the first since 2001, and only the 2nd in a US state other than Florida. Thats one weirg Cobra Roll! It seems like thats how cobra rolls are now. B&M has never been able to get cobra rolls right, and all the ones I've been on have had a bit of shuffling in the transitions. Maybe they finally got one right. ^ They got the little suspended water coaster from Emerald Pointe, there are also supposed to be 3 other coasters at the park. Actually, they were going to buy the Caripro Hydra Fighter from Emerald Pointe, but they changed their mind and purchased a brand new Premiere Rides Hydrofighter (the first of its kind) according to http://www.screamscape.com/iaapa/html/iaapa_5.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exit english Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Don't forget that this is the first B&M Sitting Coaster since 2001, and only the 2nd in a US state other than Florida. 3rd in a US state. Don't forget about Wildfire at SDC in Branson, MO. edit: Wait, I think I see what you did there. Nevermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Upsidedown Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Cool, looks good. I was wondering when they would get to testing the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplepills Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is the lift going slow due to testing, or is it normal and just the way I'm looking at it? Seems to float quite nicely though the roll though, and looks like it might be fun. I'll probably never ride it however, but still its nice to look at.

hansrubens Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 ˆ Yeah That's what I thought too. The lifthill also looked very steep to me. But it's probably just the angle you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackskellington101 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is the lift going slow due to testing, or is it normal and just the way I'm looking at it? It might be slower due to the audio cues. A lot of the audio and coaster design is set to gel with Whole Lotta Love, so it may be slower to build the suspense along with the music. Of course, it could be testing or could be an optical illusion. We'll have to see when it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Seems to have a bit of a rattle Please explain to me how you can look at a coaster and tell it has a rattle??? Jar, he's right. I also noticed the cobra roll was a few degrees off, the track was the wrong shade of white, the audio system needs to be turned up louder, and Robert Plant didn't keep his hands up the whole ride. You can't tell me you didn't notice those things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Seems to have a bit of a rattle Please explain to me how you can look at a coaster and tell it has a rattle??? He's totally right. It makes the same "kerchunk" noise that Scream does, and Scream has the "B&M rattle." In noticed too when watching the video. No need to give the guy attitude when he's right! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Can't say im surprised, but it looks just as tame as the model suggested. Of course I could be prooved completely wrong, but this has the sprawing elements and wide helixes associated with weak B&M's. It's not the size of the elements that looks wrong, but the speed the train is going through them. Obviously when there's a full train of ACE members it may be a bit faster round the circuit, but it just looks too slow through the elements (especailly the zero-G). Proove me wrong B&M!

Loco Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is it just me or does the Zero-G-Roll looks a bit RCT3-ish. It seems like the roll is too spread out. Maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree it looks kinda slow through the elements, but maybe it means you'll experience a proper bit of floaty zero g through the roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey if the boats from it's a small world can, oh wait a min. Well.... It will be interesting to see how this park does. It looks fun, just kind of small for really drawing in the crowds.
