    A Gimmick or a Stigma?

    So today we just saw Canada's Wonderland announced a big, beautiful dive coaster that they're spending big bucks on, yet coaster junkies worldwide are just kind of shrugging it off. And that's okay, it isn't for us. Building a coaster that'll bring a couple of out of town coaster weirdos to a...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    Enthusiasts: Tony Clark is the biggest troll in the industry. Don Helbig: Hold my beer. This is clearly a play on all this RMC Son of Beast digital pollution that the park has denied has anything to do with them and I love it. All these sheep think it's going to be announced as coming back...

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    Getting the negative part of what I have to say out of the way first: not a fan of the machine itself, at least as a rider. Granted how they worked it in is awesome. The dive into Vortex’s helix I love, I love that they’ve added elements to it, it doesn’t look like every other friggin’ one like...

    Chance Rides track spotted heading to East Coast of USA: Where could it be going?

    Could have done some hardware modification but I can confirm that track isn’t the same as Lightning Run’s so I doubt it’s a GTX. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Chance Rides track spotted heading to East Coast of USA: Where could it be going?

    Haha, there's a really good chance that track passed through my hometown. This is huge though! I know Intermountain Lift (http://www.intermountainlift.com/#/home) has been making track for Steel Curtain so if it's going east, it would make sense it might have come from there. I know they...

    How is your tolerance of roughness?

    Roughest coaster I like is probably Boss. I have much higher tolerance to wooden roughness than I do steel (SLC, Zamperla, ect.), usually I actually like getting the living daylights shaken out of me, it's when ride hardware is actively striking me that I have a problem. Wooden coasters that are...

    That "crap we're here!" moment on a trip?

    Maybe I'm the only one who experiences this, maybe I'm not, but because we all travel so much both for and not for coasters I didn't think it belonged in General Discussion. Anyway, I'm talking about that moment on a trip, usually at the beginning, where something happens and it first hits you...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    Bulldozed, scrapped, and replaced. They even filed the void it left. This is subtle stuff aimed at KI goons, maybe there will be a bit of that as an Easter egg in a new haunt or ride, but the Son of Beast theme on something big and noticeable to all or a giant inverting wooden coaster are all...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    Like I said... 1. It’s early August, Haunt season starts next month. 2. A maze at Kings Island is supposed to be retired and replaced this year. 3. One of the longer running mazes makes its home in the old Son of Beast station. So with these three facts in mind, it’s much more reasonable to...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    https://www.wcpo.com/money/consumer/dont-waste-your-money/kings-island-teases-new-coaster-may-be-coming Look. Look what fake fanboy speculation did. Don't think I've ever facepalmed harder over home park talk in my life. Garbage got so bad it made the news, this has to be a first. I'm over...

    Best Theme Park in PA?

    Spent a fair amount of time around this state, first time was the #Penn2015 region trip and twice more to go to Hersheypark with Emily on her yearly trip. Ranked in order... Hersheypark- This place is drop dead gorgeous. Nice little property nestled in a cute little corner of the state that's...

    Carowinds | Copperhead Strike | Mack Dual Launch

    New clue, we’re stirring the mixture around the pot and removing it from heat. Could hint at me being wrong and this being a spinner but I doubt it as I think there’s still more evidence against it than for it, but now I’m a bit skeptical. I think it’s much more likely referring too either the...

    B&M vs RMC: the best manufacturer

    Everyone knows my personal stance on this so I’m not even going to address it. From a ride experience standpoint, I give the edge to RMC. They’re very different approaches to designing a quality ride. B&M takes a more balanced approach, taking into account things such as comfort and capacity in...

    Carowinds | Copperhead Strike | Mack Dual Launch

    Nice muted color there, I like it! Maybe a nice bright track color on brown supports a la Maverick or Wild Eagle?

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    Random thought: That trademark for The Ledge seems to line up with the theme portrayed here. Maybe it’s been brought up but I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see that name go to this coaster. Maybe even an ominous “don’t go near The Ledge” type of tagline repeated in marketing and theming like...

    Roughest/Most Uncomfortable Lift Hills

    That clunk in Fahrenheit when the blocks on the chains grab the train is awful, though last time I rode it it wasn’t as bad.

    Dollywood | Wildwood Grove | New Kids Area for 2019

    In 2013 when I went I was talking to a family in line and they were actually doing something else on their second Dollywood day of their vacation because “I thought it was going to be family friendly but it’s not.” The year after they got FireChaser, now they get this. They seem to be trying to...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    Could this maybe be for a haunt? SoB’s station is currently used for a haunt called Wolf Pack that’s been there forever, maybe it’s time for it to go and get something new in there? Possibly with SoB’s theme? Also heard a rumor that they were supposed to retire at least one haunt this year so...
