So is it a roll-over or a non inverting loop ?

Well, I guess it might have been the case in 1996. But now, there is many hills over 39m in the world, many of which have ballistic trajectories almost from the bottom up.

Hey ! I was recently wondering which coaster has the world's longest single airtime. I read somewhere that Shambhala's first camelback was 60m high. As no Giga have any taller airtime hill, I think this would make it the winner in the western world, but I can't be sure. Moreover, I don't know...

Nobody said the opposite. He just stated that Europe is good at innovation. You cannot deny that. I'd point out, however, that Europe is ridden with Boomerangs and SLC clones, maybe even more than the US (i don't know the numbers).

It looks like my top 10 starts taking shape. it might be time to post it here. 1 - Shambhala : My first truly awesome coaster and first encounter with long airtime. Every single camelback is great, the first drop is truly incredible. Unfortunately, it is a bit too monotonous to hit perfection...

As far as I understand, it goes indeed well beyond anything done in other theme parks, mostly because those shows are the main attraction of the park. if the park changed ownership, i would definitely like to visit it. Just like we can enjoy the fascist art made during the 1930-40's, now that...

Of course ! We are talking about fascism here, it goes beyond the usual political quarrels of pro vs. anti neoliberal capitalism or liberals vs. conservatives.

Well .. I am kind of a serious leftist/antifascist activist, and a scientist, so that could explain my radical subjectivity (nod to however gets the reference). But frankly, I cannot ever see myself go to Puy du Fou for any other reason than burning it down to the ground and throwing a giant...

Puy du fou is ran by some far right ***holes which use the money income to finance anti-abortion associations. Futuroscope looks like a very outdated version of a boring education stuff place - but I hope I am wrong. This feels like the worst park combo in the world

Exactly ! All those rides being in ... Europe. Problem solved.

I kind of have the feeling that we could condensate this whole thread in something like : "- Hey guys, is Helix in Europe ? - Yes, Helix is indeed in Europe" Then some third party might point out that Blue Fire and Lost Gravity are also in Europe, but that's basically it.

Ride 1. To transport oneself by sitting on and directing a horse, later also a bicycle etc 2. To be carried or supported by something lightly and quickly 3. To be transported in a vehicle; to travel as a passenger What you see/hear or feel is irrelevant. You haven't rode anything if your ass...

You are in luck then. Looking at the profile of the bottom of it, we can already rule out the regular vertical loop.

Sure. There is almost no amusement related activity on the french sub-forum (which, outside the architectural threads, is almost entirely flooded by the hate/stupidity of a few reactionaries:() and as the main point is architectural/urban dev. news, I would never have thought of seing some...

Whaat? So there are park entousiasts on SSC now ??
