JRHcoasterki Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hello! I think I am going to be visiting Elitch Gardens on Memorial Day weekend. (I know, that is a LONG way away.) But, I just had some general questions about the park. How are the coasters? 1. How does the SLC compare to other SLC's? Is it pretty rough. or one of the better ones? 2. How's the boomerang? 3. Twister II? So yeah, I guess I only want to know about the coasters... hahaha Anyway, thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanator Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hello! I think I am going to be visiting Elitch Gardens on Memorial Day weekend. (I know, that is a LONG way away.)

Twister II? So yeah, I guess I only want to know about the coasters... hahaha Anyway, thanks in advance! The SLC is rough, but that's expected. Trying to think of a way to describe it I can say that my GP friends were excited to ride it the first time of the day, and after the third they absolutely hated it. IMO it is a little smoother in the front than the back, but defensive riding is necessary. As for the boomerang it was a similar situation, but I even enjoyed the first ride. Position is just preference on this ride. Twister II hurts. My friend and I tried to ride with our hands up but it just wasn't possible at points to suffer the banging. The worst is how the restraint punishes your IT band on your thigh so watch out. I recommend the front, it just gets worse as you move back in the train. As for the other coasters, sidewinder is a lot of fun that rarely has a wait. It does have the most airtime of any ride in the park, but for some reason during the loop can be a bit rough. Half-pipe will attempt to separate you from your man parts, but is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHcoasterki Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks for the reply! I have a question, I always hear people talking about defensive riding on SLC's, and I wanted to know how you do. Is there like a position or something? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPDave Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I dont know about other people's techniques(!) but if there is a fair bit of padding on the inside of the OTSR i push my head to the right and hold it agist the restraint, it stops your head from hitting the restraint hard because you're already against it! If there's not a lot of padding, keep your head forward and hope you have strong enough neck muscles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my technique for the SLC at Elitch Gardens is to place my head all the way back then hold on the the padding up top rather than the metal bars they provide you with. I've never fully tried it, but your first idea I feel like would be quite painful as even with a lot of strength it would be hard to hold your head in place the whole ride but I don't know. If worst comes to worse just ride it out, it'll all be over soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideofSteel Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 SLC-Terrible Boomerang- Surprisingly smooth. No headbanging for me in the front car. Twister 2- Wasn't really rough, but it also didn't really do too much. Be sure to brace for the brakes at the end...They apply hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Cryostats, cryostat manufacturers, cryostat suppliers in India. Huber India is the best manufacturing company it provides the services like cryostat manufacturers and suppliers. A cryostat is a device used to maintain cold cryogenic temperatures. Low temperatures may be maintained within a cryostat by using various refrigeration methods, most commonly using cryogenic fluid bath such as liquid helium. Hence it is usually assembled into a vessel, similar in construction to a vacuum flask or Dewar. Cryostats have numerous applications within science, engineering, and medicine.The cryostats are fabricated from a fibreglass mat-modified vinyl estercomposite. The basic procedure for fabrication consists of building up layers of glass mat saturated with a resin monomer that is reinforced with carboxyl-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer. The cryostat is ergonomically designed keeping in view user needs and safety. It incorporates an optimized cooling system with double compressor for rapid specimen freezing and smooth precise orientation that gives high quality sectioning in histology.The cryostat is ergonomically designed keeping in view user needs and safety.
