King’s Dominion 2025?

TheMillenniumRider:

Wasn't this a thing on the first overbank of MF also?

Honestly for me it depends. It varies by day in my experience, but it is a forceful turn especially when its running hot.

I can certainly grey out on the first MF turn depending on how I feel. If I'm tired or hungry, or maybe it's really hot out.

I am with Super 7 on his dislike for I305 though. But I understand that puts us in the minority of people who think coasters like I305 and Skyrush and Maverick (heh heh) are too fast to be enjoyable.

As for location, yes, even Steel V sometimes seems to have a shorter than expected line, despite it still being the new hotness with TT2 being down. Some days I'm surprised at the length of the line relative to other coasters. And yes, I do take the slowness caused by the lockers and metal detectors into account.

I don't think Super7 is being hyperbolic when he describes the frequency of passengers feeling uncomfortable on the ride. Fury, Millennium Force, Leviathan- all examples of Giga's that are palatable to the masses. Ultimately that has a bigger impact on business metrics in the long term.

That's not what was said.

I personally do not care for defensive-riding coasters that guarantee a gray out and snap ones neck.

You are right though about the Steel Vengeance lines being shorter than expected. It usually reported 15-20 min shorter on the app wait times. While I was only at Cedar Point one day while it was open for the season and TT2 was operating, it didn't seem like TT2 took a piece of StVe's line. Perhaps the rather unforgiving locker policies are to blame

have never ridden Pantera 305...

What if instead of a Cheet- Umm, I mean Panther theme, they replace the Dale Earnhardt license with a cool '90 metal band?!! They could play Cowboys From Hell in on-board speakers!

LostKause:

Imagine the revenues from wig sales alone!

Having been on both MF and I-305 on hot summer days, nothing has made me gray out like the old Geauga Lake Double Loop coming out of the second loop in the back row on a hot summer afternoon.

Titan’s helix (also on a hot Texas summer afternoon) got me worse than I305 did. And that was with a full stop on the MCBR. Being slightly hungover from the previous night’s bachelor party didn’t help things.

A moment that caught me off guard was how forceful the turnaround on Shambhala is. The base of it is forceful but the top isn't, so it goes forceful->nothing->forceful.

Screw the Panther, stay with the Cheat theme and we'll have light stick raves on board!
