The diagram was just to show the shape I meant, I made it bigger just to make it easier to see. So why couldn't you do that but with a small bump in the upside down section to get to -0.5g to -1g? It seems like it'd be a super weird sensation to have a little hop when you're already upside down.

So on Zadra there's that beautiful hangtime element under the lift hill, what happens if they put an air-time hill style piece of track on the upside down bit? Would you get ejector hangtime? Has it been done? Edit: Added Planet Coaster pictures to show what I mean:

1. Six Flags Magic Mountain -The coaster lineup is superb, some of the views are incredible and the food is even ok for a Six Flags park! 2. Disney's Californian Adventure - In my mind this has some of the best theming of any parks ever, especially the area around the rapids, It has some really...

Was talking yesterday about coaster types no one has tried yet, so far all I could come up with was a hybrid invert (wooden supports with a steel track, would be exciting to go through the structure) or some kind of Star tours style vehicle but on a coaster style track. Maybe half way through...

Not sure, I'm pretty big (6'3 and 16 stone) and Steel Vengeance was really uncomfortable, mostly on my shins, but the hypers are great, just enough support to convince me I won't fall out. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Maybe they just aren't worth it. If they're expensive, but parks aren't willing to pay more when they could get a Gerst Infinity or Mack Mega or Intamin Blitz, perhaps it's just a failed experiment. Still glad we got Lost Gravity!

Really, why is that out of curiosity? I can't remember Taron as well (back there in August, woop) but I can't see what a problem with B&M ones are, they're so comfy! Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

When will everyone just adapt the restraints that are on Mack Megas/B&M hypers/Taron - clearly you can be held in by your thighs without needing anything over your shins or shoulders, and it's so much comfier for tall people. I think half of the reason Helix and Taron are right at the top of my...

Can't wait to get on this at the Coasterforce Live in September, when I saw the construction I wasn't too impressed (but we were having a crappy day), but all these reviews make it sound awesome!

That's two in quite quick succession isn't it? Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

That's a really interesting list, makes me want to go ride Taiga for sure. We really didn't like Hulk but only went on it once and were in a bad mood that day anyway. Going back this summer for Hagrid so I need to give it another go. Any recommendations on seats? We were middle/back last time...

Hotel Breakers is good for the location but we didn't think it was nice enough for how expensive it is. It's really pretty basic inside and the restaurants aren't great. You can probably save a lot of money staying at the hotels nearby. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

I think any new projects will be slow but I can imagine next year we might see operating changes like more staff, longer hours and more trains being run. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

We stayed at that gr8 hotel in Sevenum, it's simply amazing for the price. And the restaurant next door, la place, was great too. Thankfully there's one at the airport so we can show you all how good it is at the coaster force live in September. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

That spider crane thing they were using near the trees inside looks awesome. They should paint it and have it just climbing about as theming. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

When you go to Bakken the beach next to the train station (10 min walk from Bakken) is lovely. Also make sure you find time to chill out, that's a pretty packed schedule, look after yourself!

I loved the Kolmarden cable car but it is vaguely terrifying whenever the wind picks up. I remember when I was kid at AT my dad would always tell me about them evacuating them over the valley and having people abseil down, never knew if it was true but it definitely stopped me from rocking it!

So when my wife and I go down to theme parks, we try to pick up a magnet from every one we've visited so far (pic attached) anyone found any spectacular ones? Were still very annoyed we couldn't find any from the six flags parks, kolmarden or universal orlando. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

I really like this list and it makes me think I need to get on the Joker and Hyperion, I love all of the ones I've been on (although I still prefer Twisted Colossus to Wildfire mostly because I love duelling coasters). Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

If they make Lego sets of Merlin attractions I'm going to be a very poor man. Stealth, Oblivion, Nemesis, Tidal Wave, the Colossus statue, I want them all. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
