I’m pretty sure they were mainly referring to the launch not being at the speed it was back in 2016.

Maybe it's just me, but I haven't heard much hype surrounding Icon recently, and I feel like it has become pretty fairly rated. In terms of UK coasters it's my favourite, but outside of that, it's a decent multi launch with a couple great airtime moments however it suffers from particularly weak...

So I guess Taiga just doesn’t exist now?

For me the second half looks as expected from seeing the off ride, which is fantastic, but the first half looks way better than I expected. There are definitely a couple great looking airtime moments in the first half which from the off ride looked quite weak. Overall with how the ride is...

A new angle

I’d say that the B&M comparison isn’t really the best. Most of the 1990s B&M inverts are still really well regarded, it’s just the newer ones with the seemingly less intense designs such as Silver Bullet and Patriot are less liked by enthusiasts. I do agree among quite a few enthusiasts there...

That drop looks so good. When it speeds up more the rest of the layout will be crazy.

Well Falcon exists

Finally gives me a reason to not go to a Merlin Park again

Well you’re going to be disappointed

I’m not a particular fan of RMC inversions but there are 3 which stand out for me: 1. Zadra’s Stall- the inverted part is fun with some great zero g and a nice view of the park, but what really makes it is the exit of the stall, the whip combined with a surprising pop of ejector made it a really...

It’d be great if they replaced the launch with an InTraSys or an Indrivetec launch instead of using some random American company that has never worked with LSM propulsion or coasters before.

The launch isn’t the only problem, and it is necessary for the ride so it doesn’t valley.

I think we all need to relax about this. The numbers someone has put out there are not going to make your experience of the ride better or worse, why can't we just appreciate the graphs for what they are and not get so defensive over it. But nonetheless, the airtime on this ride is going to be nuts.

Well it is designed by Alan Schilke as his other recent dive loops have similar shaping, as it’s shaped to give more airtime. I also get the general idea that the POVs never do justice to these air launch coasters, so considering that and that a couple elements already look insane from the POV...

1. Lightning Rod- My current number 1 and deservingly so. I’m pretty sure I rode it when it launched slightly faster than how it is now, so when I reride it, it could fall down, however I still love this ride so much. The mountainous setting is really unique, but the airtime makes this ride for...

Well after a long time, we finally have a POV. https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1cK4y1e7g1?p=2 It looks pretty good especially the twisted hill, but I know it’s hard to judge these S&S air launches from the POVs.

El Toro is definitely less, obviously it isn't professional, but the most I've seen for it is -1.4g on the rolling thunder hill, and honestly it doesn't feel like it comes close to Skyrush. But the only rides that seem to pull even close to -2g are Skyrush and the Raptrs, though there were some...

? I don’t know who is saying that, but it is far from the truth, while we don’t have accurate figure, El Toro and Steel Vengeance for certain don’t exceed -1.4g, and even that is a stretch. But -2g is just ridiculous, it isn’t safe as the upward acceleration causes blood to rush towards the head...
