I wish Knoebel's would finish Flying Turns... It looks like a blast.
that type of shit looks way dangerous.
That type of shit looks way fun.
i mean, i could do with slides on the ground, but that one with the metal track? no thanks!
and besides, i like cobra rolls, heartline spins, and batwings. can't do that with uber-simplistic "six-flags over nebraska" type coasters, as tosh would put it.
The inherent problem with both of those is they depend on the rider to physically slow the car down....yeah I know, lol.

yep. and there's way too much stupid in the world for me to like that idea.
check off another 5. i went to busch gardens europe yesterday.
for only having 4 adult coasters in the park, i must say that all of them were rather excellent. griffon, like shik-ra, gives you the impression of flying: especially on the sides of the car. amazing ride. loch-ness monster was a very good ride; especially impressive--given its age. alpengeist was, imho, not qute as good as montu or raptor; but it did have a lot of interesting track elements and was decent. the ride from the front of alpengeist was WAY smoother than from the middle/back.
and of course apollo's chariot is about as close to a masterpiecce as you can get. it and griffon are clearly the two best coasters in the park. chariot has my favorite style of restraints (the lap wedge), giving you a high degree of freedom and visibility. the air-time on it is INSANE. very glad i rode it twice.
p.s.
for those of you going to busch gardens williamsburg, "europe in the air" flight simulator is CRAP. don't even bother. other than a semi-interesting cue line in the form of a cave, it was a HORRIBLE experience--way too bumpy & jolting. the par-excellence for flight simulators remains soarin' at epcot. the difference between these two rides was night and day. don't waste your time.
Although I love The Top Thrill, Millenium Force is simply amazing. I remember going on that thing 3-4 times the day I was at Cedar Point. The final time, it was evening, and the bugs were SO bad, that when we got off we had bugs SMASHED all over our skin and sun glasses. It was AMAZING.
Just went to Cedar Point two weeks ago....VIP PASS baby!! :D
Rode every single coaster at least 2 maximum 5 times...too much of anything isn't good..I was worn out by mid day!!
MAVERICK owns!!!
