Re: Green Lantern Coaster - WB Movie World Australia
^^ Haha, no I just meant at the same speed of course
Anyways I say this video and something interesting to note is they are slowing the cars down alot at the top of the lift hill.
The drop is really going to have a cliffhanger effect.

I liked it. The beyond vertical drop actually feels decently steep, not like those wannabe Eurofighters. You actually tip foward in your seat.
Very comfortable and smooth. Whenever those topics come up about "Favourite restraints" I'm gonna vote for these. Much nicer than those overbearing Maurer ones. They do have a secondary lap seatbelt like Intamin lapbar coasters, but the smart thing is, the harness wont physically pull down until the seatbelt is clipped in, so that naturally eliminates the need for a separate seatbelt check.
The outside turn was kind of meh...was fun, but not 'gross' or anything over the top...It was more "whee, we're tilting out, and now we're not"...Granted I was seated front left on my only ride, so i got the least tilt there.
Onboard audio could have been louder, otherwhise it did the job...Bit of build up on the lift with dramatic music, then sort of generic action music on the course.
Plenty of hang time in the inversions, but nothing bad at all. Felt like it was at the right pace, and didnt have moments of absolute speed kill like Timber Drop in France.
It was a soft opening in every sense, opened at 4pm, managed about 5 cycles, then stopped with a car on the 2nd mcbr...Lucky I got on at all! I left the park pretty soon, and about 200 people got spited.
Ah well, I'll be back for re-rides.
Overall, decent fun coaster. Not as good as Superman, but I enjoyed it, and will make an effort to ride each visit.

I've noticed a few minor adjustments and it looks like they improve the ride overall. The biggest change I noticed is the top of the first drop rises. The rise slows down the train enough to build suspense and also slightly decrease the need for trims on the beginning of the drop*.
*Yes, I know it's still trimmed, and I know that the trims are a necessity. They're just not needed at the very top of the drop.

Yeah there are numerous overall improvements, the lap bars being a big one and the 4 across seating.
But when it was testing it was running through the course much faster, but now when it travels through the block brake parts, it is slowed down a little bit. Oh well.
Anyways theres a couple of new photos from their facebook of the trains in action, and its looking pretty cool.
