caffeine_demon Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 the solar powered coaster looks quite a nice ride, and rather novel being green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 LOVE it. . "Tyfoon" looks like it's built in someone's front yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The solar powered coaster looks cool to me! Although it was quite unusual to see the lift at the end of the ride and not at the start To sum it up: Cool roller coaster with a pretty big amount of speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Wow! 'The funky little family coaster' looks nice. At first I thought that it was one of these 'I have a one mile long train' coasters but it wasn't. Pretty fast, twisty and quite long = awesome ride!

Riextol Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I chose the water park over this coaster back in 1989. If I had to do it all over again, I would have ridden this ride, and then gone to the water park. I did not know how to multi-task back then.

scbt Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Wow, the speed that it takes the loops is insane! It's no surprise why that's by far the highest ranked Schwarzkopf coaster. Also, the sound it makes during the off ride shots sounds like a jet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Having three lead cars back to back looks really weird. But the ride still looks really intense. Both Mindbender coasters are pretty high on my must-ride bucket list. If WEM can have backwards cars on their fairly intense coaster and still run well, maybe the Batman rides really won't be all that uncomfortable facing backwards either.

cfc Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I still need to ride this coaster--love them old Schwarzkopf loopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 ^ Backwards Mindbender was insanely intense. I could only do it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Edmonton - A great steel coaster. Vancouver - A great wood coaster. Woo hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 ^^Wow, that must have been REALLY intense! You sort of get an idea of how intense it is when it pulls through the loops but I guess that only riding it will give you a real deal. PS. the trains look kind of funky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 This coaster looks amazing. Makes me miss Texas Tornado aka: Thriller when it was at SFAW. I only got to ride it 3 times while it was at SFAW but it by far the one of the best coasters I've ever been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinTheAttendant Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Awww, only one more day left in April The Mindbender video is powerful! It looks like a hell of a relentless coaster; definitely on my "must-ride" list. I love how Schwarzkopf has a knack for stuffing so much coaster in so little space.

Nrthwnd Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 This is the online 'onride photo' we got to send back to ourselves back in 2001, when we visited the Mall....

XYZ Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Awww, only one more day left in April I wonder if anyone can guess what video I chose for the very last April video? It has to be a Wacky Worm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 That looks intense!!! very much intense! And I do agree with the statement, that the coaster sounds like a jet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wow, Mindebender looks like an epic Schwarzkopf. If it's intense going forwards I can imagine how much more intense it is backwards. Great video to get my day going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 One day I hope to make it to Edmonton and ride Mindbender. I don't know how they managed to offer backward rides, since even forwards it looks crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozziboy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I wonder if anyone can guess what video I chose for the very last April video? Would it be that little Magic Forest coaster that we rolled-back/almost-trashed in Lake George? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
