Europa Park is practically Mack's showroom, but what are some other parks/areas that seem like showcases of a particular manufacturer?
I've always thought Central Florida was somewhat of a B&M showcase. You've got two rare B&M sitdown models, one of them featuring a launch; three inverts, one...
Both are two of the longest coasters on the planet, both feature two lift hills, and both use the terrain to their advantage. I haven't ridden either coaster, but which one is better?
I remember reading somewhere that B&M turned down Rip Ride Rockit because Universal wanted them to build a vertical lift. Is B&M unable to build vertical lifts?
One example I can think of is Shivering Timbers. The ride looks like it should be in the 160-170 ft range when in fact it is only 122 feet tall. And it seems like the bigger they are, the more they look like their correct height. Why do wooden coasters appear to be bigger than they are? Does it...
From what I can tell, Leviathan has the better opening sequence with the drop into the tunnel, tight overbank, speed hill, and massive camelback while Fury325 has the better second half/ending with the horseshoe turn, overbanks and airtime hills. Which coaster is better, or which one would you...
The B&M-Intamin debate has been going on for years. Personally, I enjoy coasters from both companies equally for different reasons. B&M is the tried and true company that can always deliver a great, rerideable experience while Intamin pushes the limits and tries to eject you from the...
One moment sticks out in my mind that was actually kind of unexpected: the top hat and descent of Top Thrill Dragster. Once the train started to crest the top hat, I got some crazy floater airtime and that lasted all the way through the spiral descent and it was actually kind of freaky! There...
Both coasters are super long Intamins with multiple launches, airtime, and one inversion. Both are considered "family launchers." While I haven't been on either (though I think I'll probably get to ride Cheetah Hunt first in the next few years). For those of you that have been on both, which is...
RMC took the industry by storm in 2011 and now they're considered among the ranks of companies like B&M, Intamin, CCI, and Mack. Now they've developed the TRex track and are expected to enter into the ground-up, major steel coaster market. Where will they be in ten years?
Say someone called up RMC to convert their wooden coaster, but instead of using IBox track, they used topper track. Would it qualify as a new coaster or would it be the same as a reprofiling/new trains? It is a change in technology, and technically, topper track isn't even wooden. But how do you...
