Review: Mine-Cart Madness at Epic Universe a little rough
Posted
From the review:
The unfortunate tradeoff with this new technology is that it makes the ride a bit bumpy and shaky, especially considering it’s a brand new roller coaster that hasn’t officially opened to the public yet. Since the center of gravity of each vehicle is so high above the real coaster track, the slightest bounce, shake or jolt is accentuated and amplified; similar to how a skyscraper’s top floors sway more than its foundation when facing high winds.

I mean, every B&M ever has been made in the same place. I'm sure they can age out eventually (see: IOA), but I'm skeptical that they would be rough out of the gate. (Although, I didn't have a great ride on Dorney's floorless in its second year.)

A friend told me that Dr. Diabolical is running pretty bumpy at Fiesta Texas as well.
I wouldn’t call it rough. But it’s not quite as smooth as other B&Ms I’ve ridden.
I continue to wonder if they changed something about their trains, namely the “suspension” between the chassis and the wheel carriers. I do agree that more recent models have a vertical vibration that’s not present in the older installations, and I don’t think it’s track related.
