Vortex_fan Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If you could Pick one what would you Pick? I would pick racers because the amount of airtime and Speed you get everywhere rebel yell is slow and has no airtime. Racer Or Rebel Yell?

BeeastFarmer Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'd choose Racer 75 any day. Lots of airtime, very smooth. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 With my recent rides on Racer 75, I'd have to pick that ride! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I haven't been on Racer 75 since the rename and Gravity Group retracking, so my perspective has involved a lot of really bumpy rides on it, but I'm just petty enough of an enthusiast that I'll pick it over Racer because it still has its last dip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Sometimes being petty is acceptable, as is this case @TombRaiderFTW. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think our Racer still has a little more air time, but last season Racer75 was definitely smoother. Final answer, KI Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLFOF96 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 KI Racer for sure. Rebel yell seemed to me that it lost airtime after the re-tracking. (Might be a bit bias though ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Racer 75. Granted, I haven't ridden it since 2016, but it seems that KD invests much more in their version than KI does. Smooth as glass, plenty of airtime, and they had painted it the original red white and blue. Since then, it has undergone more retracking and structure replacement. I'm hopeful we will see more changes with our The Racer as we move towards 2022. Continued retracking, some structure replaced, and a complete repaint. It would be nice to get the variable chain lifts, too. I've heard good things about this change they made on Racer 75. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerNut Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Rebel Yell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Kings Island Racer over Racer75. Racer75 is VERY smooth as of last year. But, that airtime is weak sauce everywhere. KI's racer had better airtime for me, and it's not glass smooth.. side note, why Mystic Timbers gets better and better as we move away from opening year.

Creed Bratton Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 1 hour ago, Gordon Bombay said: Variable chain lifts? Yes....KD recently updated the lifts/programming to ensure that the trains actually race. So if one dispatches about 10 seconds after the first, the lift will speed up on the delayed dispatch side to bring the train to match the location of the first dispatched train. From what I understand it does this up to a certain point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast’s is variable (to a point) but that’s just for blocking, not racing of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
