^Tatsu has a zero-g roll. I'm sure there are others. I haven't read through all of the discussion, but I'm definitely with balrog in that a zero-g roll on a flyer doesn't actually invert. If they count as an inversion so would (outside) top hats on regular coasters, as they put the riders in...

It's great to see some parks pick up on the ABC Tourbillon! It looks like such a unique concept :) Don't know what it will ride like, but it's a very interesting ride for spectators.

^Well, Liseberg owns it. I'm sure some one else operates it. But it is definitely Liseberg's parking. There are Liseberg logos att every entrance, and there is even Liseberg staff patrolling the parking lot.

Huh?! Liseberg has it's own parking lot just south of the park, 0m from the south entrance. There's also a huge multi-story parking deck just next to the main entrance. Parking is really easy at Liseberg (just not always cheap). And all the info is on their web page :) Otherwise a good trip...

^Interesting information Joey! But I have the same question as Howie: which ride manufacturer is the easiest/smoothest to operate? I know that the biggest factor behind a good capacity is staff/routines. But there must be some difference between rides as well. And what rides do you prefer...

That is really sad :( I hope they keep the old soundtrack in some form. The new IMA score is "ok" I guess. But it does not compare at all to the old catchy tune, which does suite the park and it's audience a lot better.

Yes, I've heard of this too. And since the clearence on Balder looks pretty close I put my hands down in the tunnels. I also know from the CF live that you can hit your hands pretty hard on the vegetation over at Helix. And if you're tall enough you can even hit your head(!) if not cearful Odin...

To be fair Piraten in Batavia is just a copy of Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland, which opened two decades earlier, with the boats passing by dining guests. It's a great concept though! Just that Disney deserves the credit =)

Tbh the restraints of Skyrush and Mack are nothing alike. While Skyrush only has a thin bar touching your thighs, the Mack restraints are more akin to B&M clamshells; with a large area of contact which snuggs nicely around your thighs.

This is the way I see it too! Not with these exact coasters; but for me there's no one perfect coaster. Sure, on paper Helix and Wildfire look like candidates to be perfect, and it's hard to find a flaw in any of the two coaster layouts. But still none of them are even close to my top coasters...

I don't think DK and Shambs is a good match, like at all. I know I'm in a minority here: but the integration of the two coasters could've been done so much better, and the construction of Shambhala really killed poor Khan.. Let me explain why: First of; Dragon Khan used to be one of the best...

Re: Djurs Sommerland |unknown| Intamin Suspended Family Coas Hahaha! I think Djurs should hire you for their marketing campaign :wink: :lol: But I totally agree: the name is lame. But so is "Piraten" (the Pirate) and "Juvelen" (the Juwel). I think Djurs like tacky names..

Why would that be imossible? Please elaborate. I'm personsally very intrigued by the idea of a launched flyer! I think the exposed seating position would make the launch feel a lot more intense :)

I think Soarin' is a fun and chilling ride :) It's great for small kids or adults who don't dare to go on the bigger rides. And even for adrenaline junkies who just want a break. I have faith in this project! Regarding Soarin' at Disneyland: they really should move it to the new Star Wars land...

Worlds tallest loop? Could easily be done, and by just adding the loop to an existing coaster wouldn't cost Fuji-Q too much money to get another world record breaker (which seem to be their thing).

Second that! (at least before they swaped the trains.. ) I also was hugely surpriced with Juvelen at Djurs Sommerland! Haden't heard much of the ride at the time since it was brand new when we went. And sure, it looks like a fun family ride, with a funky seating position. But nothing...

The only park with multiple entries in my top 20 would be Magic Mountain; with X2 and Twisted Colossus. I guess that makes it the park with the best (two) coasters :)

Ohh! Flying Furies :--D They're amazing!! Produced by the italian manufacturer Technical Park. So sorry they nerfed the version at Tivoli Gardens though, it was so much better when you where still able to control the planes yourself :(

Since most of you prefer wood I might be the expception that proves the rule! :P I genuinely appreciate smoothnes, speed and force in my rides, and hence all but two of my top 10 coasters are steel! I can't say that there's a preference of airtime over positives either. But all of my top rated...

No worries! :) Regarding Apocalypse though, since a couple of you commented on it: I thought Apocalypse was one hell of a rough ride in 2015 when I rode it. Also the ride operater gave a rather embarrased comment trying to be ironic when our train returned to the station saying: "Wasn't that a...
