gerstlaueringvar Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) A photo of Meg-Lite. Seems like they are making Mega-Lite into "Kawasemi without the water". Edited April 8, 2014 by gerstlaueringvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucky11801 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 A photo of Meg-Lite. Seems like they are getting Kawasemi without the water. Â Yes this Mega Lite has been there since August 2009. I rode it in Spring 2010- it remains in my Top 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks extremely twisty! Or should I say, twisty for a B&M Â Hunter "twisty is a good thing" Barrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Because they aren't just getting the coaster. He was saying they got it in 2009, and he was referencing your post with his response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 ^ sorry for making my post not clear. How about now? A photo of Meg-Lite. Seems like they are making Mega-Lite into "Kawasemi without the water". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomman295 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Is it wrong to say that this is officially now on my bucket list? This actually looks really fun. Â I like how banked some of those turns look. What should we expect from the first B&M family coaster?? Probably well paced, and most likely isn't going to pull more than 3 Gs. Maybe we'll see a little low-G hangtime on those first couple hills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Ugh huge watermarks. Â The coaster looks good though. It seems similar but different to the Vekoma models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBru Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Does anyone else think this ride looks kind of...ugly...from ground level? I mean it looks cool...but ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigil Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Huh, it kinda does. It's like the uncanny valley for B&Ms. It should be a big roller coaster, but it's not. It does look a little...odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheBooker Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I know that this isn't any coaster vs. coaster going on but Freedom Flyer definitely has a better paint scheme. Â Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else think the transition from the camel back hump to the figure eight on the B&M just looks a little..... Funky?

KBrylczyk Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It'll be hilarious to hear the B&M roar on this small of a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I actually think the Vekoma looks like the better ride here. Only time will tell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 While Vekoma makes the ride look better, B&M uses less supports and it seems to have tighter twists and turns than Vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrozooka0 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It'll be hilarious to hear the B&M roar on this small of a ride. Â I think it will be more of a moaning noise. (it's preportional) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really that fewer of supports? Only by a few, like maybe 3 or 5 less. It's not a big difference, but it could have been another reason why they chose B&M.

gerstlaueringvar Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 ^^ Maybe B&M signed a contract to build their family prototype coaster at Happy Valley while offered a lower price than Vekoma's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
