Flying Eagles 1972-2004 Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Top Gun doesn't have a helix. Quote
PKIVortex Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I'll say The Beast because it's fast and inclosed. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Posted July 24, 2006 http://www.extremepki.com/gallery/displayi...lbum=152&pos=11 TOPGUN does have a helix by Son of Beast. Quote
screamingnight Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 The Beast helix. It is so refreshing going through a tunnel twice and a helix twice. Also give your self a challenge. Put both arms forward through the tunel to see if you keep them straight. It can get kinda tricky. Thats why I like The Beast there is nothing like speeding through the woods having air blown into your face and and something that can not be explained. Quote
Deliriumbeast Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 The Beast helix, because it is fast, half enclosed, and smoother than the rosebowl on Son of Beast. The first helix on Italian Job is also really good. Quote
Williams Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Definately The Beast... although IJ and TG are intense as well. Quote
RailRider Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Beast without a doubt, but IJST has some nice G force and is a unique way to start the ride off. Launched up through a helix *cough* parking garage*cough* Best Helix outside of KI is Goliath at Six Flags over Texas. They call that the Centerfuge for a reasson. Quote
Reclaimer Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 http://www.extremepki.com/gallery/displayi...lbum=152&pos=11 TOPGUN does have a helix by Son of Beast. Ummm...That's the second helix on SoB. Quote
Snake Attack! Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I actually hate helix's because all you do is go in a circle and then get extreme g'forces applied to you. I don't really know of a helix in Adventure Express but I may just not remember one and I agree topgun doesn't have one either. But.. I voted Vortex not cause it is just a great way to cap off the ride in gerneral Quote
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I think topgun meant to link to this image: http://extremepki.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-3089 Topgun does have a helix. Quote
hausty1983 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Yeah its that one on the end,also this picture really shows how short Top Gun really is also Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Posted August 24, 2006 AE does have a Helix you know where the over head chopers are? Quote
Reclaimer Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I think topgun meant to link to this image: http://extremepki.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-3089 Topgun does have a helix. Well then, that makes some sense. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 That is considered a Carousel Turn, when the track enters a turn, and exits either slightly higher or lower and goes back the direction it came. Therfor, no, TG does NOT have a helix. Quote
Reclaimer Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks Tom. I was wondering about that. Didn't want to say anything to bring it up at first, as I wasn't quite sure.... Quote
