jray21 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That's definitely better than the Screaming Squirrel. It was a fun ride, and a great park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wow! Though it's a Vekoma it looks quite rideable Seems to have the same layout as Big Loop at Heidepark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilly Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Easily the 2nd best coaster in the park. It is really well taken care of and the new trains make it a rather good ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcoaster 2 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I love how the park continued the great theming as seen around the rest of the park on this ride and got the Magic Mountain down perfectly with ad-wraps on every surface possible. The only thing missing was a single train operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Was the lake underneath the helix really supposed to be that nasty algae green color? Sounds like something Magic Mountain would do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArizonaGuy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wow....that looks pretty amazing. All the theming they put into it is pretty nice. The mist and dips close to the water make it look pretty cool. It also seems they did the keyhole type effect about 3 different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPfan1 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 This coaster looks just awesome! The theming is awesome,too! I really need to go there for saying 'hi' to Raptor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markysharky17 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks for posting an amazing video on my Birthday! Rob, do you like the B&M wing riders or the Intamin Wing Walkers better? I know there is nothing really in common but which is better! Â I wanna win a bag of crap so badly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 One of the cool things about wing coasters is that you have a lot of opportunities for environment interaction (keyholes, near-miss supports, water effects, near-miss props). XRaptor looks like a lot of fun, especially if you include all the near misses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I thought that what you did with wild eagle was already nice but this was even better with the "middle POV" also included. And, overall it was a cool video, the best one of raptor so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozziboy Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 What I loved about this coaster was that the splash effects actually did hit you! Â (I mean, not like Roller Soaker or Divertical drenched... just splashed! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Manta does the same. You get splashed by the fountains if you sit toward the back of the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Manta does the same. You get splashed by the fountains if you sit toward the back of the train. This is different. Manta you only get *barely* wet, if you happen to sit in a certain seat, and I think it's mostly by accident. This, the splash effect works for the entire train, and you're almost guaranteed, no matter which side you sit on, that you'll get hit by at least one water bomb while on the ride. Â I've been on Manta several times, in the back of the train, and actually never got wet. A lot of it has to do with the weight of the train, timing, etc....

PalmTree55 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 This coaster looks pretty "crappy". But all jokes aside, this is one funny video/coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmTree55 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Doesn't look like a bad kiddie coaster though. Better than some others that are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
