Maverick44 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Worse* lol I mean at least us on the Intamin side know English. I beg to differ though. I think anytime we bring up . All you B&Mer's ram it down our throats about any little thing lol It's like that's cool I didn't ask about that. Sigh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean go figure a B&M fanboy thinking they are god! It's all in good fun haha. If we could all just understand we all have our own opinions.

DiamondBanshee Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 ^Just saying if we choose to vote one of you off the island, I think we’re gonna keep the one that flies in the spy plane lmaoBack to the topic at hand, I think is this is a good point to reiterate how different B&M and Intamin gigas are. I’ve heard quite a few concerns that this new coaster will be just like Mille and there’s no point to building it when CP is “right there.” If you’ve ridden any combination of an Intamin giga and a B&M giga, it’s clear to see how different they actually are. The Intamins seem more focused on positives and low to the ground speed while the B&Ms, though also focusing on speed, put more attention into airtime and lats. I personally prefer that latter much more as I love airtime. Fury is an incredible ride, and if our giga rides anything like fury (which I’m sure it will), it will be nothing like Mille.

Logan Goddard Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 ^ This was actually something I talked about with a friend recently. KI's Giga had to be different from 3 different rides while still being great and unique. You don't want it to just be a carbon copy of Fury so you can't make the new ride just like it, even though Fury is an outstanding ride. You can't have it be super close to MF because of it's proximity and you want people to attend both parks. But you also can't have it be too airtime focused otherwise the GP will think its just larger Diamondback and then your attendance doesn't get the increase you want. While you can complain about length, which no shortage of people are doing, I personally was extremely impressed with how B&M made this project different enough from all 3 while still making what seems to be a potentially top 10-15 ride. Going to be a very fun season next year and hopefully we see a really nice boost in attendance and maintain that so CF continues to see us as a park they can grow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is every other coater lol Well unless its Vekoma. haha I don't hate on B&M for real. Really its to get under the fanboys skin when they try to talk crap to me just because I prefer one over the other lol Afterburn is amazing as is Fury. Carowinds def has my favorite B&M's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time I've ever followed a new attraction like this so I don't really know what it's going to be like. I know by 2018, Mystic Timbers lines didn't seem that bad at all, no idea what they were like year one though. No. The difference between 2020 and past ride openings is theres a lot more ride capacity than in the past. If the line for the new coaster is too long, you still have DB, Banshee, MT, Etc, Etc, to ride. The first few weekends will be crazy as people will be making trips to be one of the first. But by the time they hit daily ops, 2 hour waits will be rare. 5 hours ago, sixohdieselrage said: I am poking a stick in a hornet's nest, but I feel Intamin fanboys are worse than B&M fanboys, in terms of being annoying.... I think that stems from the fact that there really aren't a lot of true B&M fan boys. You just have a lot of people that recognize that parks are going to buy a quality ride that will last a long time and rarely break down over a ride that you can just about guarantee will make your customers sit in line not moving for hours since it's broke down again. Eventually though, the Intamin fan boys will disappear though as parks are just going to stop building them. The current Hagrid mess is more of the same. Great ride, but they can't keep it open. 1 hour ago, Hawaiian Coasters 325 said: No, how about a Michigan Wolverines themed coaster and area!

I know by 2018, Mystic Timbers lines didn't seem that bad at all, no idea what they were like year one though. IIRC, Mystic’s first year would have hour/hour and a half waits (I think?). I know that outside of Preview Night (2.5 hour wait- it was totally worth it!), I’d waited as far away as the first switchback shed and as close as the switchbacks near the ride’s actual shed (or somewhere around there). Project X will be hard to tell as it will be really popular (I think), but also a people eater. While writing this, I’m recalling my first time riding Banshee (it was early in the 2014 season, I think around May or June) and being surprised that the line moved so quickly. Heck, I even rode 2 or 3 more times that day! Also, re: B&M vs. Intamin, I find that both manufacturers can make intense or not as intense (aka “forceless”) coasters. Just look at Rougarou vs. Millennium Force or Maverick vs. GateKeeper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d stay there for nostalgia, shuttle and it had a bar. So where is a good place with those assets?
