Sticked :)

Wow, guess it's been 8 years since I posted here! Update: Thunderbird - Really great pacing and theming on this one! The launch and inversion designs are really top notch. X-Flight - surprise hit! I really enjoyed the hangtime through the layout, and shorter height that nails great element...

Reallllly digging this, and such a great use of terrain on that farside of park property facing the lake. Wouldn't be surprised if tree cover grows in nicely over the years, creating additional near-miss. Giving me Luna (Liseberg) vibes, which has some great cliffhanger elements also leveraging...

Looks good! This ride's theme appears to be the folly of when raccoons try to operate heavy machinery.

Not bad @matthissa! Pacing is so hard to judge on RMCs, and what I expect to be greatest determiner on if this coaster will be good or great; promising start and layout with plenty of airtime opportunity!

That puppy is hauling through the vertical loops! Still trying to fathom how this is a bigger, much bigger, B&M Dive Machine - but understand there could be some elements here that benefit from higher speed, drawn out forces. To also say it before the Spanish Inquisition is launched - of course...

And then there's..... this. (Posted in Roller Coaster Enthusiasts Club FB Page) Apparently made up of OG Galeforce track and leadcar of Dragon from Adventureland!

Updated the title to capture the moment rn. :P

Hmmm, snarling thing in a box. Swear I've seen this before??

Ironically, I feel the same on Stardust - rode it on the second-to-last day of trip, and think I was also exhausted/not able to fully take in the ride. Guess we need to revisit together for a proper re-evaluation? <3

The general sensation I'm imagining for this launch:

Alright... tagging in a year later with some new movement and additions coming off of Orlando travels: 1 Steel Vengeance 2 Voyage 3 VelociCoaster 4 Iron Gwazi 5 ArieForce One 6 Skyrush 7 Maverick 8 El Toro 9 X2 10 Helix 11 Stardust Racers 12 Wildcat's Revenge...

Stardust Racers - Epic Universe I am still (honestly) recovering from a long Orlando visit, touring all Disney and Universal parks (and +1s at SeaWorld Orlando) over 8ish days - and to be honest am having a hard time figuring out if I liked Stardust or not. To be fair, Epic Universe was our...

The Voyage at 1s and 2s - you love to see it @bbfine, @Dan Nguyen! Just returned from a week long Orlando trip for my mom's 75th birthday, including finally making it onto Guardians and Stardust Racers. I have THOUGHTS, but first need to sleep for a few days. 🫠

Color me newly intrigued on the upside-down LSM launch; could prove a snappy launch piece, depending on how those three launch tracks get sequenced.
