I haven't ridden blue fire since the year it opened, but isn't it still silky smooth as well?
Blur Fire is really smooth! Didn't experience a single vibration on it :) It's just that new B&M's are a bit smoother. It's hard to describe, but I found both Mamba and Krake to be more like flying in air than riding a coaster!

I can't say I wasn't expecting that :wink:

Also I forgot to add Tomohawk to my rough woodies.

^Cyclone at SFNE isn't that bad now that it has the RMC topper track.


When did they put the new topper track on it? I think I'm leaning more towards Thunderhawk for this category.
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

^They did the topper track in the 2011-2012 off-season. It took me totally by surprise & was the coaster highlight of the USA Live (add-on) for me.
