Brassinthegrass 0 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 AHHH. A B&M launch!!! Can't wait to not feel any forces on the launch! Link to post Share on other sites
tarheel1231 0 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I really wish Enthusiasts would stop ragging on B&M all the time. Some will never be pleased. B&M builds a launched wing coaster at Holiday World: ZOMG that's boring. B&M builds a giga at Carowinds: ZOMG that's boring. B&M builds ANYTHING: ZOMG that's boring. I know there's a sense of humor rule, but something isn't funny when it's overused. [EDIT] I know there's Banshee, but the initial reaction to it wasn't very positive because many assumed it would be forceless due to the large inversions. Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Turbo 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 ^While I agree that people are a bit over-negative, I would rather have a situation like Banshee that surpasses expectations than an overhyped ride that doesn't deliver. Link to post Share on other sites
Brassinthegrass 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Oh calm down and go read the disclaimer at the bottom of every page... I'm sure B&M will have a nice launch,Mir won't be anywhere near a hydraulic launch like Intamin... But I'm sure it will have some nice umph. Link to post Share on other sites
tarheel1231 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 You know, I'm gonna regret bringing up this complaint. Soon the whole thread is going to be full of comments about people arguing about B&M. So I'm going to put a stop that before it happens. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I thought that the big crane was supposed to be here today to start working on the immelman. I wonder when it will get here. Link to post Share on other sites
coasterkyle 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 It probably is being set up somewhere off camera. Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondbacker27 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I think I'm the only one really excited about a B&M launch. I've never rode a B&M I didn't like.. Link to post Share on other sites
ratdogg68 4 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Going on Oct.11th with the Family. Buying my season pass on the easy pay plan, asked if we could get it processed that day, they wrote back and said yes. They also said we will get a ticket for free admission that day and a Thunderbird Cup, can't wait. I'll post a Photo Trip report of my day and the construction when I get home, come on Oct. 11th.

HolidayWorldFTW 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Looks like they are getting ready to put up the supports for the immelman! Edited September 24, 2014 by HolidayWorldFTW Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The vertical loop looks to be THE element to have on the wingriders. Anyone that has been on Wild Eagle, how does the loop ride? Link to post Share on other sites
mikejenkins1 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 They are laying pieces down now using the mid size crane and looking to put up more supports. Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree! After being disappointed by X-Flight and GateKeeper, I was expecting Parrot Coaster to be a total snooze fest that I can grab a credit run then go do the aquarium tours. It turned out close to the intensity of old school B&M's. Really hope Thunderbird will be as forceful as Partot Coaster while as smooth as X-Flight. Link to post Share on other sites

rcjp 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Will the webcam stay in this position? Because, if so, we won't really be able to tell how most of the immelmann is going. Link to post Share on other sites
