I wonder if Robb has some nicknames up his sleeve. I'm sure he does. I'd sure love for him to share some of them on this thread if he has any.

[Beau Mitchell]

Here's my nickname for one coaster a lot of you dread the most, particularly Robb. That coaster, of course being Goudurix.

 

 

Although I've neve been on it, I'm sure that with what a lot of you have experienced with this coaster, especially Robb, this coaster seems to pretty much deserve the nickname "The ULTIMATE Vekoma Torture Machine"!
