Small things about coasters you notice.

If you time it right, as you walk down the exit ramp of Twister, you hit the landings at the same time the train whizzes past in the double helix.

The pile of unclaimed drink bottles left on the ticket booth of Phoenix.

The distant but approaching roar you hear while standing in the queue of the Comet that tells you Great Bear is heading down to the Hollow again. And everyone in line looks up to watch the train execute the Immelman, over and over.

The slight kink in the track on Comet's lift hill.

The turkey call sounds Wildcat makes as the train hits the brakes and heads into the station.

The deserted line of the Timberwolf at Worlds of Fun after around 8pm...allowing for unlimited back to back night rides. Amazing.

"Everything looks good. I think, I think this time it's going to work. No! No! Noooo!"


Chipster "wishing I was getting soem gamma radation about now"...

When on the Bush Beast, when the train was arriving back into the station, and the brakes where applied, the station would like thrust the way that the train is heading. So like the Station just moved forward. It really did this.

Also on Bush Beast, the train would build up speed after leaving the station, turning around to head for the lift, the trains speed would build up, then hit the lift, go up around a quater of a quater of the lift's height, sit there for a couple of secs, start to gradually pull us up, then it would get faster. And sitting in the front carriage, it goes over the lift crest, only to hang there waiting for there to be enought weight on the front half of the train to pull it over. You literally hang there waiting for the old beast to pull the the rest of the train up.

At Mr. Freeze we have a button to park the train in the station after ride stopping it (it stops in the tunnel on its way back, just before entering the station). You can hear the LIMs energize slightly to push the train backwards..they make a really cool "Hi, theres quite a bit of electricity flowing through me!" sound.
The thing that i love, is the "B&M Roar" i love that sound and when you hear it you know its B&M.

Unless your not a coaster geek :)

Another think i love is the sound Vertical Velocity (SFGam) makes when you sit in the first seat and you reach the very top of the ride awesome!

On the Deja Vu coasters (at least at SFGAm), there is a small "pop" when the train catches on the second lift - its not a good ride unless I hear this (and if I don't, we've just vallied!).

I love hearing the air brakes release on any ride, but flat rides especially (like the Huss Giants).

The extremely loud sounds that Son of Beast makes at the top of the lift.

Not a coaster, but hearing the theme from "Halloween" over and over at a Six Flags park during Fright Fest still gives me chills.

The sound an Arrow car makes when the restraints are released and pulled up.


"And we are now passing under Millennium Force, which, with the arrival of Top Thrill Dragster, is now...just blue."
The breeze of air as you go up the spiral lift on Whizzer.

Unlike their B & M and Morgan counterparts, the tracks on the Intamin hypers have no MCBR.

I was asked to describe Deja Vu in one word. The word? AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
"The pile of unclaimed drink bottles left on the ticket booth of Pheonix"

That's a good one but it can hardly compare to all the disposed pepsi cups that once littered the ground just behind & under Mind Eraser's station at SFA.
