I love drops! Inversions are cool too but once you get me past like 3 or 4 I get disoriented....like on Fahrenheit at Hershey Park

That's part of the reason why I'm starting to get tired of B&M. It seems all their rides are the same inversions over and over just put in different orders without a lot of variety. There's only so many times you can do the combo of giant loop/dive loop/barrel roll/cobra roll/corkscrews before it starts to get old. Medusa is my first B&M so it will always be my favorite, but from what I can tell MOST of B&M's coasters have very similar lay outs that have heavy emphasis on the inversions...repetitive inversions if you know what to expect.

I think Rocky Mountain Construction is really good with their number of inversions. Most of the time they'll have 3-4 and it's always spread out throughout the course. Plus they make a point of doing unique elements on all their coasters while also working in plenty of elements that are proven successes.

@Voxel you can come up to Six Flag New England - not much but this ride is pretty cool

Busch Gardens has been stepping it up lately though

True, but I don't think that's enough.

Besides, I'm skeptical about Cobras Curse.. It may or may not be a "vomit comet".

 

[Voxel]

Haha nice! I should

You can do Busch gardens Williamsburg:

I like unique loops which is what RMC is doing...or just loops that are spread out rather than just loop after loop...

I was so dizzy after this

Haha, Big Bad Wolf was one of my Favorite Coasters, but Verbolten was a worthy replacement.

They also don't talk about the 15 foot vertical tower of terror like drop that occurs in the coaster.

RMC is brilliant. They have been pushing the boundaries though Intamin is one of my favorites.

@spacemt354 We need to get out to Dollywood, they have some interesting designs coming about:


Plus they have the Fastest Wooden Launch Caster (i.e the fastest wooden and the first launch wooden coaster) opening this year.

Ahh! Yes!

I love steel....but there's something about wooden coasters that just can't be matched.

Williamsburg? Yeah, though the coaster they opened last year leaves much to be desired. It still bothers me that they're putting one in Lake Compounce....

Yea, but it makes sense. If I'm not mistake La Scoot is going away due to unmentioned issues..

I did not know that. That's kind of sad, actually. Super excited for the new woody, though.
