Other than a ride like Tron or Hagrids that might specifically warrant moto-style seating...what is the desire to design trains that place you in perhaps the most uncomfortable riding position ever? It's no mystery that tire launches are much more susceptible to inconsistencies even with the...

Well finally, something we've all been waiting for! Glad this park has their priorities straight!

*raises hand*

You know, I was thinking with all these dive coasters and the long flat straight track/turns they have at the top between the lift and drop...it would be cool if they switched it up and did an outer bank up there. Imagine slowly tilting off to the side 30 or 45 degrees when you're 300 feet up...

https://youtu.be/AairfvW1oVw?si=-vc_Q5bLDc_eNOSZ I know this video is 4 months old...but has there been any confirmation of this as a replacement for Ka? If so...erm...🤔

What I've been starting to wonder is, do any of you remember when Steel Dragon 2000 came out, and they had to have 2 separate chain runs on the lift hill? Their explanation was that a single chain couldn't handle the weight of the train over such a long distance because the lift hill was too...

Not gonna lie, even though we know it's going to ride just like the new gen B&M's, it looks pretty remarkable.

Cobra's Curse @BGT turns spinning on and off mid ride. It's a setting on the train that locks/unlocks during mid-course brake runs. Even in that vid you can see there are "slow" spots on straight runs where these systems will come into place. Might be a first for an Intamin, someone will...

Milk takes 15 years to spoil?

One thing that has kind of always bugged me about B&M is how the elevation of some of their elements are so high off the ground that they really miss the opportunity of interacting with the terrain. When you're so high up even during low parts or valleys of the layout, you kind of miss out on...

Seeing as how this looks to be a suspended coaster, I wonder if this is hinting at the eventual demise of Ninja. I certainly hope not because I love Ninja, and if there's one thing I've always applauded SFMM it's their maintenence department and the upkeep of their rides (not necessarily in...

How's that workin out for ya? 🤣

WHY couldn't they just dig a 15 foot hole and make the drop 300'...WHY?!?! Or leave the layout entirely the same, add 91 feet to the bottom of the support legs, and BOOM you have a Strata Dive! So redonkulous. I can't imagine this thing costs less than a legit Intamin like Hyperion which are...

Thanks Obama!

Is it overhyped? The ride is hands down redonkulous.

I'm quite interested in the difference between the two. I think you get premium parking instead of standard. Maybe some flashpass discounts too? I was blown away with what we got with my pass. The unlimited drink thing was a surprise to me. Besides the obvious intentional lack of consideration...

100% agree. Finally got on Griffon on Monday, and man, I don't know what it is about the older versions, but they are just much much better than the newer versions like say, Valravn. Even Sheikra, the ride experience just "feels" like they do what they're meant to do with the sense of airtime...

Are you talking about the ones where you just pay a monthly fee and there's pretty much no expiration date? I have that one, which is a Gold Plus All Parks Membership that I got maybe 5 years ago. I still get free parking, and a free park bottle every year with free unlimited refills. Just...

So they slow it down before the drop down the cliff, then speed it up at the bottom of the drop, then slow it down again at the top of the big bunny hill? Quite a bit of manipulation going on with the natural pace of the ride. Doesn't look like it's going more than 80 mph through the circuit...

I agree. Imagine a huge 3D sign covering the length of the roof from the edge, to that little pop up conopy side, with it covered in snow and dripping icicles. Now that would be sweet! We're all *VERY* proud of you... Is it just me or does it feel maybe a bit too fast after blasting out of...
