The whole “track designs with wheels on the outside are smoother” thing has been long disproved, ever since RMC started making glass smooth steel coasters with the wheels on the inside of the rails. The trope of rough coasters with wheels on the inside comes from old Arrows and Vekomas, whose...

I’m currently bored in a queue, and I haven’t posted in this thread in quite a while, so I figured I’d review some of the notable stuff I rode on my New York/Canada trip, from July 28 - August 1. Riding #282 Leap the Dips at Lakemont Park checked another record off my list with the world’s...

More views of the coaster in this video. Sweet Jesus.

wow.

Wildcat’s Revenge “There is no way that this was the intended result of this ride, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

I’d like to humbly request that we collectively choose Iron Splash: The Surf Coaster simply because it’d be extremely funny for a ride of that name to exist at that park.

Not bad at all! Seems it’s time to create a whole new list. To do in 2024: Renegade Prowler Gold Striker Outlaw Run Time Traveler Goliath (Great America) Maxx Force Shivering Timbers Zippin Pippin Hades 360

How has this thread gone on so long without mention of Colossus and Sik? One of those has been getting MUCH better reviews than the other, and it isn’t the one at Thorpe.

This just isn’t the case. They might use NoLimits Pro to create marketing renders of their rides, but nothing in terms of the ride layout is actually designed in NoLimits.

It looks like this guy's kid is punching him in the nuts...

This was a surprisingly difficult question for me to answer. Despite my relatively low credit count, I’ve been on a pretty wide swath of rides. The biggest gap I’ve identified is those new Vekoma thrill sit downs. That mostly boils down to there not being any of those in the US, which will be...

Anyone who’s visited that park since the Pandemic knows that it’s in no state for a large addition like that. They don’t even have enough money to remove T3, much less install anything at all, especially a new coaster.

You’ll never believe what the last post in the top 10 thread is

Voyage double down into the bowl Voyage triple down Voyage cross-lift hill Voyage camelback 1

The queue line appears to directly follow under the path of lift and turnaround. That’s an interesting use of space that I don’t think we’ve seen before yet!

Lightning Rod: The world’s first and only launched wooden coaster!

Appears to be decidedly not racing themed, which means we get to see another sexy Intamin custom zero car! I’m interested to see where they’ll go with the smaller form factor of the Hot Racer’s trains.

A few come to mind: Voyage out run Voyage spaghetti bowl Voyage return run Voyage “victory lap”

Back when I lived in an area with seasonal parks, coaster season was firmly April to October. Anything past that and parks are either opening with half the park closed, or aren’t open at all.

Ok, will do.
