Re: The off topic, casual chat, random BS thread.

Maybe but last time I was there Kings Dominion's actually did something other than meander the track aimlessly. Have they installed a trim on theirs? Not sure about that, I barely notice it on our Hurler. Has anyone here had a good experience on Grizzly? I don't mean to paint KD as a bad ...

... didn't make my top 10 (made #11), however I do place it between Apollo's Chariot and Goliath (SFOG). This first ride I was in the middle and both trims hit pretty hard so it killed a bit of the momentum for me. Later rides were not as noticeable. If it didn't have the trims, it could easily be ...

... care for was the first drop, actually. I know they’ve replaced all of the track on the first drop, did some tweaks, undid some tweaks, and added a trim. Would it still be amazing? Our first ride was in the front of the ride, a first for me. That first drop was actually better, and the straight ...

... in 2008 before this). I rode Intimidator first and enjoyed it. It was pretty standard for a B&M hyper. It had nice floater airtime, but the trims killed it...along with the MCBR). It was better than Goliath @ SFOG to me, but still place it just below Apollo's Chariot. Once I rode it it was ...

... 1-3 seat for Doug’s first ride. Magnum was running very well. The third hill always delivers airtime, and the return trip is always fun. The trim before the turn around wasn’t too strong, so no discomfort there. Every time I ride, I’m reminded of the time it hit so hard and sent me into my ...

... the two rides. As for Hurler, it wasn't terrible - definitely smoother than it used to be, but also markedly less intense (probably because of the trim). There's definitely still some retracking that needs to be done towards the end of the ride as well. I'd give it about a 6/10, and that's probably ...

Re: Cedar Point 2015 (pg 3: Mantis goes floorless = Rougarou

Everyone I've talked to has said the ride is much better now as a floorless. The trim on the first drop is no more, it runs fast, and its a marked improvement over Mantis, which was aweful. I can't wait to ride in a few weeks.

... mostly on row 3, seat 1. The way back to the station is ok. That turn right after the turnaround is a great 'rest' before the airtime hills. The trim is very noticeable, but doesn't effect the airtime to much. The double helix is just plain fun. Then, the two airtime hills... This is the perfect ...

... second half of the ride was noticeably less intense (which is pretty much just the three air-time hills). I am positive I had some rides where the trim did not engage. Actually I even think the turn-around felt a little less intense also. That might just be in my head. I'm not sure. But, the three ...

I worked at Carowinds the last season it was owned by Paramount, Hurler had turn three retracked prior to Opening Day 2006 and Mid-Summer 2006. Except for the trim and rebuilt turn three, Hurler is no worse or better than 2006.
