Nrthwnd Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 ^ Yeah. I'll pass on this one. And good for you to ride it at least three (?) times to get those shots for us. Thanks Robb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Did the back at least provide a pop of air on the drop? It looks like the sort of messed up drop that would give bizarre air in the back (see Demon SFGAm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamico2 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 ^The airtime was insane on that first drop, in the very back row! While the rest of the ride was completely pointless and rough, that first drop was one of the better ones I've experienced, anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 They should get a chiropractic clinic to sponsor that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 oh my. . the front POV. . . . is track supposed to bend like that??? and the back seat facing forwards! LOL, it was like watching weebles wobble during an earthquake. glad y'all all survived, and great that the back car group was laughing thru the pain.

Nrthwnd Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 ^ Ouch. I have no memory of riding that coaster, in the 2007 TPR Japan Tour. Maybe I blocked it out. Thanks for the memory, Robb. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peck Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Wasn't Tennessee Tornado designed by RMC's own Alan Sheik when he was at Arrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp94 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 ^ Correct... Alan Sheik only left the Arrow tribe because he rose up in rank to ruling the RMC tribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Wasn't Tennessee Tornado designed by RMC's own Alan Sheik when he was at Arrow? I presume you mean Alan Schilke. Or did the Iron Sheik design coasters, too? Edited May 14, 2019 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 And remember, Alan Schilke is not employed by Rocky Mountain, he works for Ride Centerline, which is contracted by RMC to design their coasters. I know the two often get lumped together as the work they do for each other is so close that the difference in companies is transparent, but Alan also still does design work for S&S as well as other companies...

robbalvey Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 This roller coaster in Japan has a "Stand Up" train and a "Sit Down" train on the SAME TRACK! We rode them both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp94 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Those restraints on the sitdown side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 love the color, and the layout of this (as straight forward and simple as it is). . but the jewel is, of course, the option of what type of train. I'd go for the Stand Up, if could only choose one. But of course, if there, would ride in all offered options. tho those "comfort collars" are hysterical! dunno I've ever seen a restraint like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I haven't ridden this coaster since 2007, but I remember being surprised at how decent the ride was in the stand-up trains. All the U.S. Togos were lousy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrinho Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I'd love to go to Japan and ride all those weird japanese coasters! Great video, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I always appreciate how you guys have covered the parks in the farther reaches of Japan that I haven't had the chance to get to... It is nice to see the quirky coasters like this that are out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I remember it was a pretty easy coaster(s) to ride, back in 2007. Even the standup was fairly smooth, to me. Since it was September when we were there, and an oncoming typhoon was going to challenge Elissa's train schedule skills another day (and she was SUCCESSFUL!), it wasn't very busy in the stations for this one, at that time. Great video, Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 We rode Speed at Energylandia the other day and it was BY FAR the wettest I've ever gotten on any roller coaster or water ride! This is just INSANE! Watch this whole video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 ^You know in Korea I've seen them give out little plastic bags to wrap over your feet about trainer high when you buy a poncho for their super splash at Gyeongju World so you don't walk around in wet feet... But for this, I think you'd need trash bag size and I'm still not sure your shoes would make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
