SFGAm riddle - CoasterBuzz

The B&M flyer that is S:UF, to me, really does have a *dud* layout once you pass the pretzel...(making me thirsty, LOL). Sure the trains are INFINITELY better than the Vekomas, without question, but the V-flyers have it going on when it comes to layout....as for operations, I really believe *most* of the differences other than easy load/unload of the Beemers, is that SFoG just has plain better operations than any of those three other parks (PGA, SFWoA, SFA). I could very well be wrong, it's happened once before...;)

yes, Chitown, I'm trying for Media Day.

I could find my way to Oakbrook. any info on the time or date?

uh oh, sounds like someone has a case of the mondays.

Gator, there are no many bad things about the Vekoma's that keep me from enjoing them. Namely the gawd awful restraints and rattle trap rough trains. But I will give you an awesome layout.

S:UF's pretzel is second to none in the intensity department and the flying sensation afterwards is also second to none. the Vekoma's have two things that the B and M's need. the Helix and the Horseshoe. Put those on a B and M and you could quite possibly have the greatest coaster imaginable.

As for operations teh Vekoma's by nature are operational nightmares that have been plaugued with problems. That is not the parks doing.

-----------------
All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers. ;)

MagnumForce, I'll agree that the Vekoma's control systems are worse, and the restraints on ALL Vekomas could use some serious improvements (save for my beloved Rollerskaters), but the beef I've had with the parks they're located at has been one of disregard for lines, operating one train/side of station because of "lack of personnel" to operate them. Beemers, everywhere, all the time, are reliable as anything, easy to load, easy to dispatch, with EXCELLENT computer control systems. The pretzel loop, however, is the ONLY time I've ridden ANY Beemer anywhere and come off the ride with a feeling of "Wow, that was INTENSE".....I wish more parks would push for B&M creations with that sort of intensity.....then again, maybe my pleas have already been heard....

swimmerkev - I was being sarcastic.

I haven't had the pleasure of trying a B&M flyer, but I found the Vekoma ones extremely comfortable. Believe me when I say you want the restraints nice and snug. The Zamperlas are so damn uncomfortable, I felt like I was going to fall out.

TOGO!

One of my friends is at the park today, and he said he would get some photos for me. As soon as I get them, ill upload them and post a link.

My friend who took the picture said there was alot of track there, he didn't have time to count. And there were also Blue Supports there. So this looks like a Superman Coaster for sure.

well I just hope that the good people at SFGA are smart enough to come up with a good excuse for Superman to be in Cajun Country.

Fianally, pictures. Guess I'll be "Flying over to Great America" in 2003.;)

-----------------
I am proud to say my homepark has 3 B&M's, soon to be 4, hopefully.;)

gracias for the photos! i've been waitin for this for a while.

i must say i obviously agree w/ B&M flyer as the type.....

BUT keep in mind theres a 1% chance it could be somethin else.... because we have NO distinction between these track pieces and those of other B&Ms

(*sarcastic irony on*) Gamfan, that pun was ultimately terrible. Try making them more super, man. (*sarcastic irony and terrible puns off*) :)
