I wonder if he went and actually visibly inspected for track or if he's just assuming there isn't any there.

There are only 30 B&M inverts. 2 are relocated Batman clones. So there are 12 Batman clones. There are also 2 Raptor Clones one relocated. And it is not Katun.

Baby born in Firehawk's line?
It actually is the ride-ops place to tell them they can't ride or at least highly advise them not to ride, That is part of their job. No the ride op can not make that person physically get up out of the ride unless they are causing a disruption or they do not fit in the seat properly. And if she didn't say she was pregnant are you going to be the person who says ma'am you can't ride because you're pregnant. Then what if she tells you that she's not pregnant?

They let them both ride. It's really not the ride ops place to tell them that they can't ride. They can warn them not to ride all they want. But they can not make them get up unless they don't fit in the seat properly. It doesn't make it right but they can not force them off of the ride.

Baby born in Firehawk's line?
When I was at Michigan's Adventure last year I saw two pregnant women get on Shivering Timbers together. And no they were not just fat. This woman had to be at least 8 months pregnant. She even told the ride ops to be careful when they pushed down her lap bar because she didn't want to hurt the baby. I think everyone in line gave her the oh really face.

Oh my bad I forgot I'm talking to the person who went to the park on one of the busiest days of the year then makes an entire thread about how Diamondback stacked. Have you ever seen them do a power hour? QQ

And you hardly notice the MCBR on Montu. Talon's hourly capacity is about 1200. Montu's is 1700 how is that not an increase?
-
Starting to Decode 2014
Because 300 riders per hour more isn't an increase?

They didn't steal anything from Intamin. Both Bollinger and Mabillard were once apart of the Intamin team. I really don't see your point about it being 20 years ago. All I see is that after 20 years the ride is still standing and still produces good lines and great capacity.

The difference here is more inverts have been built overall. With a new invert being built just last year whether it was overseas of not. They obviously have not fallen off the way the Standup models have gone. In fact the Inverts are B&M's most built coaster. Out of the 85 B&M coasters that have been built 30 of them have been inverts.

Well you might be SOL.... ^ And when you think about it adding a B&M invert now makes a lot of sense because Flight Deck isn't exactly in it's glory days anymore. Arrow Suspended coasters are a dying breed. Who knows how long it can keep chugging along, but it will eventually be taken out. The area it sits on is good land for a future terrain utilizing family coaster.

Kumba probably has the best cobra roll of any coaster I've ever been on.

Patriot doesn't have trims. It has a spot where they considered putting one in but they never did. Also have you ever ridden Montu? The Batwing element on Montu is probably my favorite part. But it definitely needs a Zero G roll and some wingovers that dip in and out of the ground.

I gotta ask: Why invert a wing rider? Wouldn't it be the same experience as a regular invert? Also it would be a completely different experience then a normal WingRider because now the elements would all have to be inverted as well. In my opinion inverted elements are far more forceful then normal ones. I feel the Wingovers are more fun then regular corkscrews and an inverted zero g is just amazing! But that's just my opinion.

I gotta ask: Why invert a wing rider? Wouldn't it be the same experience as a regular invert? Not necessarily.. This could give them the option to stagger the heights of the seats so that everyone has a good view.

Starting to Decode 2014
What if this is some sort of Inverted WingRider? Can you imagine the head and leg choppers?
-
Starting to Decode 2014
I've been studying these pictures of Patriot and pictures of Montu all day trying to find the similarities.

I'm thinking this is where a helix will be. They are kind of small to support a lift hill.

I can't believe I'm just now hearing about this. This looks epic. Too bad I can't find anyone to go with me. I wish KI would do something like this! http://electricadventure.com/
