Tera Ryzing Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 3 minutes ago, SonofBaconator said: @IndyGuy4KI one thing really quick. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Just remember that Cedar Fair pays a lot of money for those "snooze fests" so both enthusiasts and the gp can enjoy them. Furthermore, if B&M coasters were "snooze fests" they wouldn't have 15 entries on the 2017 Golden Ticket Awards whereas Intamin only has 9. You're right, the golden tickets are so unbiased. Like indy jones said, let's see some layouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there are some B&M's like Banshee that are amazing and Fury. You have 1 point though. I have yet to ride a boring Intamin. I could be biased though lol Then don't ride Green Lantern at SFMM. Out of the 202 coasters I've ridden it's easily one of the worst. Goodness it's awful, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the overly majority snooze fests such as silver bullet, patriot, the hypers, gigas, floorless models, wing coasters etc? I don't the Diamondback is a "snooze fest". It is an airtime machine and that is the reason it consistently ranks in the top ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have ridden a handful of Intamin's and I don't think they have near the airtime the B&M's do. At the same time, I think Intamin's are more intense than B&M's in terms of speed and laterals. The most violent ejector airtime that I have experienced to date is Twisted Colossus. That thing hurts when it throws you up. Fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Diamondback is not a snoozefest. To be honest I love coasters so much I don't see any of them as that. Coasters for lyfe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intamin and RMC on the other hand....I don't get off a ride and think, "well this ride has downtime from time to time so its not as good" Its either awesome or it isnt. I have gotten off each manufacture and said wow. They're all different in various ways. We get it you don't like B&M. You dont need to constantly shove that fact down our throats in bolded letters. Just stop. We all have opinions just like you. You can't call something "bad" or a "snoozefest" when its clearly not. It's your opinion not a fact. Just because you like B&M doesn't mean they need to put in an Intamin giga. If they do put in a giga, they're going to pick the manufacture they believe is the best option for their park. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Something interesting I noticed unrelated to a giga, or maybe it is, but Cedar Fair has trademarked the name "Copperhead Strike" I highly doubt this would be a name for a possible KI giga but it sounds like a cool name nonetheless. https://www.trademarkia.com/copperhead-strike-87868589.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why have 2 snake themed coasters in one park? Isn't a Diamondback worse than a Copperhead anyway? Wouldn't make sense for a giga, at least not too me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
