They hardly build eurofighters anywhere in the states for that matter.
The best of all the jokers is clearly Mark Hamill.
It's because your usernames took up all the potential space. ;)

I bet if Gerstlauer started calling them 'Merica-fighters they would sell them here in the states as fast as they can build them.
But then again, what do I know?
It looks like I'll finally have a good reason to return to Seaside next year. I actually haven't been back there since Sandy, despite living only an hour away.
The coaster will be a Eurofighter 320+ model (like Untamed or Rage), only without the ending helix. I'm hopeful that the lapbar-only trains will provide a comfortable ride, although I'm not sure that better restraints are all that's needed to smooth out the ride. The newer lapbar-only Eurofighter/Infinity Coasters are very enjoyable, but I imagine that is just as much due to improvements in track engineering as it is due to the lapbars. I'm not sure that they're making any changes to the 320+ track profile other than removing the helix.
I got to try out the new Eurofighter, Hydrus, on its opening day yesterday. I am happy to report that it is very smooth, and would be very re-rideable if not for the $10 cost per ride.

Same track, put a lapbar on, magical transformation IMO. Chiller, Flight of Fear, Revolution SFMM. Vibrating my body and/or butt may be jostling, but bouncing into an OTSR can be downright unpleasant....just my experience.
