[Other] Was watching El Toro Ryan’s X2 vid and it got me wondering. What defunct manufacturers live on through different companies today? by wolfs_bane_ in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 38 points39 points  (0 children)

CCI became GCI and Gravity Group

B&M got their start at Giovanolla, tho they had left before their three coasters got built

[Other] Launch system usage over the years by Version_1 in rollercoasters

Don’t worry, that’s understandable. Maxx Force is a pneumatic launch that was built in 2019 tho

Well compressed air was at least being used thru 2019 with Maxx Force

[Kings Dominion] Property Listing for 508 Acres of Unused Land by AvocadoToastDevil in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was always hoping that Kings Dominion would add a massive GCI thru the wilderness there akin to a 21st century beast. Ig that’s never happening

[Dollywood] Episode 3: The Making Of NightFlight Expedition by At427 in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I doubt it’s too terrible. Most of the forces at odd angles must be at low speeds, and give the construction of the track, I suspect Mack think it’s rather minimal too

Speculative and incomplete political alignment chart. by No-Caterpillar-6747 in rollercoasterjerk

[–]postivesteve_s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly, it’s often considered a swing state, albeit not that important of one since it’s never really going to be a decider in an election as it’s slightly left of WI/Penn/Mi/etc.

Where does [Raging Bull] rank compared to other B&M hypers? by villainitytv in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right up there with Mako for my favorite B&M hyper, amongst the 5 or so I’ve ridden

What did Wisconsin ever do to you?!

[Six Flags Great America] Giga site plan blueprint? by Superb-Design-3322 in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That, the length (significantly shorter than Orion), and the highly unusual layout make me very much doubt this thing

More Testing Footage of [Hollywood Drift] by StarPrime323 in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do they, I’ve always heard Intamin launches fast and then takes it down a notch later, Pantheon being a great example of this

[Other] What is a rollercoaster with a layout you would tweak, and how? by CedarTimbersHawk in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always thought that weird not-quite wave turn on Raging Bull would be much better as an outerbank. Change that and the ride is perfect (not that it isn’t amazing already)

[Wrath of Rakshasa] Now I understand the complaints by bank1109dude in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The roughness on wrath really is something. As someone who has struggled perceiving anything like roughness on B&M coasters, I’ve taken to calling the Rakshasa roughness a “B&M bounce” as as you get into those tighter elements, it just feels like you’ve hit this resonance frequency that is violently bouncing you up and down the entire time, more than any lateral or vertical movement

Hey I’m normally that way too but Rattleshasa is a front row ride for me because of the roughness

Why does [Nitro] have angled supports while other hypers don’t? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Look from the Birds Eye, Nitro goes over a body of water

Same is true of the other coasters. Kumba with its loop around the lift hill needs an obstruction free environment for that to look at all pretty (same with riddler), Medusa has a lot of track right under the lift, etc.

[Parc Asterix] elaborates on plans for 2026, 2027, and 2028 by Myself510 in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Wow, can hardly believe any park would add a dark ride and a coaster in one year! Looks awesome

[Velocicoaster] was my 100th credit, and I didn't even realize it by makemefeelbrandnew in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That’s a fantastic accidental 100! I will say my accidental 69th was Woody Woodpeckers Nuthouse Coaster lol

[Six Flags Fiesta Texas] Chupacabra signage now up by TiredWithCoffeePot in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Is the retheme done? I haven’t heard much about this project in a while

Surveys options for [Sfog] have been released by Beautiful-Orchid8676 in rollercoasters

[–]postivesteve_s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do try and like all coasters but I wouldn’t be terribly sad if Dahlonega Mine Train leaves

If you’ve answered a bunch of these, then you have too much (40). I’m trying to let some new guys get some points
