If you want a spinning-mouse coaster go with Maurer Söhne. They have made some fantastic custom designs at two UK parks I know.

Just look at this Immelman turn!

In fact, they are looking into replacing PW, but of course, it depends on the money.

I wonder how smooth they are. If they are, it would have been awsome to have had Disney have that designer make a custom ride. I would want it to be enclosed though. All the bells and whistles are a little too much.

Smooth as anything (mind you, it was only 3-4months old when I rode it).

Not jerky at all. One of the best coaster experiences I've had. That Immelman is a crazy element. You either face the sky and go straight up, then straight down again, or face the floor and fly upwards and down again.

Best of all, it is still a "family" coaster.

Something like the Timberline Twister at Camp Snoopy.

Wow - you come here looking for Disney info and end up looking at pictures of coasters in your back yard!

I can vouch for the Spinball Wizzer at Alton Towers being smooth - and it's one of the few coasters that have made me dizzy when I got off. The only bad bit was the one and a half hour queue for a 1 min 15 ride! At least the rides last a bit longer in the States...


If you get chance to go on a spinning coaster like these try and get two light people on one side and two heavy ones on the other - it makes the car spin like mad!:hurl:

Wow! Anyone have any indoor pictures of the ride, similar to pics of Space Mountain with the lights on? I bet the room it's in must be cavernous!

I really like Rock 'N' Roller Coaster, probably because I can't SEE what it actually looks like before I get on the ride. Very nice touch. And... the music awesome too.

Here's a picture of me, and the "family". The woman in front of me is my girlfriend (Kandra), the two girls on the ride with us are her daughters. It was the girls' first time on RnR. They loved it.

Don't know if this waws stated before but Rockin' Roller Coaster is made to look like mickey mouse. Each of the loops form the ears and head of Mickey. If you can find a schematic of the ride and you look at it you can tell that it is. Heard from a friend that is a cast memeber.

 

[jchriscandy]

RnR Coaster is it true

Is it true that RnR has a Cobra Roll then a corckscrew or is it two original loops and then a Corkscrew

 

[zxl203]

It is a Sea Serpant element (similar to a cobra roll but you leave going the same direction as you entered.) and a corkscrew.
