The only front to rear herky jerkiness I have ever felt on a coaster is on Blackout at Suzuka Curcuit. It is an SLC, and well............duh. The trains are constantly "catching up" to each other through the transitions. Although they aren't as smooth as Raptor, I still like 'em!
-----------------
I didn't find Raptor all that exciting, I found B:TR(SFoG) to be much more intense, IMO, but I've never riden either of those as much as Alpengeist. Which after riding as many times as possible (those lines could move faster, LOL), roughness has never been with us through the cobra, whereas the whole roll on Raptor & the section after it weren't as friendly. Raptor can whip through that first loop with an intensity, though!
Raptor ruff ????? I have to disagree
I just want your guys' opinions!
