^Just be sure it's the last one on the list. :lol: In all actuality though, it's actually safer than it looks.

Sure about that? Even if it is safe, that would still mean you'd be re-riding a Vekoma looper. :lol:

I lately rode a Boomerang with those new trains featuring "seatbelt"-otsr - and it was quite enjoyable...

Gravity Max is definitely on my ride bucket list. It would be very hard to pass up a TPR trip that stops in Taiwan.

From the POV it looks like the track is pretty smooth. Definitely smoother than the mass produced Vekoma tracks.

I love the Thrill Lift concept...

Gravity Max looks like it has an awesome layout though, that 90* drop into that underground tunnel. And if it is smooth, maybe... Maybe I could risk a re-ride. Still not sure how I feel about it.

CHANCEMORGAN

Here is a short, quick weekend update of you…a look at an old Chance/Morgan product catalog. I really wish Morgan was building more coasters. Their trains suck (both on wood and steel) but the rides are pretty awesome. That Superman coaster down in Mexico is way underated…Great ride!

Anyone know what Morgan is up to these days? Are they even still in business?

Coming up this week a look at Carowinds, around the time they transitioned from an independent park to a part of the Taft Corp. Have a great Haloweekend everyone!

The only new Chance ride I can think of in the last few years is that they sold a few of those "unicoaster" flat rides. I'm guessing they've sold a few of the KMG fireballs in the U.S. as well.

One thing I didn't know until looking at their website, it looks like they sell (maybe manufacture in the U.S.?) Vekoma roller skater and junior suspended coasters too!

I own the website www.donkey.com

DH Morgan has 2 good coasters IMO but their others are pretty meak (Steel Force and Wild Thing are dull personally) but Phantom's Revenge and Mamba are pretty good.


Unless TPR does a Trip through Mexico, starting in Texas; I'll probably never get to SFMex
