Orochi relocated to France

RCDB lists Orochi and Raptor at track lengths about 200' different. I always wondered where the difference comes from.

I wouldn't doubt that they stretched it out the 2nd half just a little bit because Raptor FLIES into the final break.

No, it's because Raptor is shrinking!

They probably measured the inside rail of one and the outside rail of the other. ;)

It looks from the pics like Orochi may have needed to "skirt" pre-exisiting attractions and deal with a little bit more terrain...or maybe it was done just to disrespect Raptor... ;)

Wow, is it curtains for Expoland then?

Disrespect Raptor? I thought the gulls already had that "covered".

Gator, there are too many people around who don't get that joke anymore. What has happened co CoasterBuzz?!

^Then those people should purchase my "Annotated History of Coasterbuzz"....coming soon to an amusement park gift-shop near you! ;)

Oh, and P.S. to delan. Like many of the Japanese parks, Expoland indded has been retired. :( http://www.rcdb.com/pd432.htm

Wouldn't the measurement be taken from the centerline of the track's spine rather than the rail?

Birds ****ting on a roller coaster? I'm on board, right?

It's been a while, but I don't remember any significant differences between Raptor and Orochi. I think gator's got it in it's just a slight localization to deal with terrain at Expoland.

Is it haiku time?

Remember the good old days
