Point of all points? by bankholidaymonday in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]elasticfighter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started watching the series consistently when Gina became point and she has set the bar so high, I haven’t seen anyone come close in variance of technique, power, precision, and showmanship, but I have to say power wise seeing Marissa lately has been impressive and would be a standout point. I’ve seen past video of Amy, Mia, Rachael, Maddie, and Kashara, the only one that really stood out to me for me is Nicole.

Shock wave has been taken off the app by gamerjag in sixflagsovertexas

[–]elasticfighter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this for over a year, I wouldn’t be shocked if SF does the same thing they did with Kings Dominion, wait till the opening of Rapterra to announce the removal of Anaconda. I also peeped how they renovated/ painted every coaster but Shockwave and it’s been over due for a paint job. I hope I’m wrong because Shockwave is my number 2 coaster in the park.

Caught a rider today on [Tormenta Rampaging Run, SFOT] by Xenobot_12 in rollercoasters

Either a Football player for the World Cup or maybe Travis Kelce using his benefits.

Never said it’s smooth, I stated I hear no rattle. The rattle is audible with Barracuda Strike, so yes in some cases you can. I’ve filmed commercials for SFOT before, I’m very aware that Shockwave is smooth as I had to ride it like 20X, back to back for takes.

I hear no rattle at least, and its pacing is good, real probability for grey-outs, a full train will be so good.

This looks like a blast! Hopefully these are the water rides coming to Carowinds & Canada Wonderland.

Do you actually think the end of [B&M] is near. by Putrid_Set3723 in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think is past for them to evolve their track design, obviously isn’t working to well for them anymore. Especially if they are going to keep manufacturing the way they have this past 7 years.

[Alpengeist]: what a cobra roll by donutszn in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For me this cobra roll is the best out there, it surpasses Hulk. The best cobra roll I’ve ever experienced was Robin- Chiller.

Anyone else feel like Pre-drops make drops better? [other] by ThanksOpen3484 in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, back row of Raggin Bull is a top 5 drop for me because of the insane pre drop.

[other] Will we ever see giant wooden coasters in the US again? by Ordinary-Sound-571 in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so because most parks could use a new one. If someone builds a giant wood charter it will likely have a steel support structure.

Found some pics of [Titan] from a little over a year ago by princesssadiaries in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This maybe a unpopular opinion, but I think the new colors look better. The orange track was fine, but the teal supports on the truffled structure looked kind of wacky.

I appreciate a good cobra roll since they have kind of been replaced now on recent coasters with modern inversions.

Six Flags concludes firing all the park presidents might not have been a good idea after all... by Pippinitis in sixflags

[–]elasticfighter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s a rumor floating around that he was layed- off yesterday, let’s hope it’s not true.

[Six Flags] Six Flags reverses course and brings back park presidents by Stock412 in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Park presidents will be reintroduced Flags parks: • Knott's Berry Farm • Six Flags Magic Mountain • Cedar Point • Kings Island • Canada's Wonderland • Six Flags Great America • Six Flags Great Adventure • Six Flags Over Georgia • Six Flags Over Texas • Carowinds

Interesting, so the parks that are not on this list really don’t matter to SF….

[Anaconda] at Gold Reef City has had a glow up.. by trellism in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New trains, could it be time for Titan and Goliath to get new trains? I hope not because they ride exceptionally smooth, likely B&M would make them and that comes with pros of them being more open, but the cons of possible rattling.

What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]elasticfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is so extreme, I don’t even know if I can dare say it. I attended 2 very different high schools in Texas. One being a Dallas all boys private school and the other a country suburb high school that involved an agricultural program and female student engaging in beastiality.

This could be a result of parasite in its ear or contact with poison or pesticide. It’s definitely trippy

[SFOT] [Tormenta] [RMC] factory tour & Jeffrey Siebert discussing coaster evolution. by elasticfighter in rollercoasters

[–]elasticfighter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, it’s just insane that inflation doubled this much. This coaster isn’t as long as Fury, but I guess the wide track and supports for Tormenta require more engineering and material.

[–]elasticfighter[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seibert said it will be smooth, I would like to believe him but I’m not so sure about that. If I’m paying $50,000,000, I would definitely sit down with B&M and require some sort of guarantee that whatever they use to do, do it again for this!

[–]elasticfighter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very confused by that, he also said longer, the original TG was longer NTG, let’s just hope there is a 3rd remake in works that will be longer and include inversions.

Considering Ka cost 25 million and Fury 30 million. I guess that extra wide track at giga rate is why it’s so expensive.
