The title of this thread sounds like a motocross jumping move. Or a sexual technique. Anyways, a superman camel hump pull through sounds really fun, and the photos are nice too.

Does she fall under the donkey category?

Maybe it's named after the classic british film?

I think you should certainly have NL in the contest... it's a simulator with a lot of subtlety and realism, and the very best rides often are the result of insane amounts of work. It'd be nice to see some of the top NL designers get wider recognition, if you were to manage to lure them into posting here. There are certainly a lot of the NL people from coastersims (and I think the other exchange sites too) browsing this site, but I think they rarely look in this part of the forum. After all, it has mainly been RCT oriented, and there is already a site for them to geek out about the shape of patriot's loop and the snap in a B&M invert's corkscrew.

topic moved to appropriate forum

The loop looks short and wide to me. Less whip at the top, more consistent force throughout the loop. Where's Real when you need him?

^^sorry if this is old hat... but does anyone here follow Boddingtons with a fruit wheat beer? (Ithaca Apricot Wheat or Sam Cherry Wheat are my usuals) It's a meal and dessert all in beer!

Man dies on toilet seat. In 'erotic lock' with bizarre harness. Details at 10.

Drop towers are the only rides that really scare me when they are functioning properly. And that is only when we're about 10 feet from the top till the wait. However, whenever a ride does something different (anyone else had the lift hill slow down towards the top of MF?!) that it is not supposed to do, I get freaked. The creaking on enterprises (Re: Witches Wheel) bothers me a bit. Ferris wheels also can bother me, because I know I could just leap off at any moment. Not that I would. But it would be possible... Freaky.

Unless you're into that kind of thing...

most useful site ever. Thanks!

Robb, did you live in LA and look like that?! Every one of my friends that moves to LA comes back a year later and looks like they've been on the Biggest Loser or Extreme Makeover.

Yeah, didn't mean to tear your head off. It is a pretty ride. And since the good part is mostly what is visible, it's looks are quite deceiving.

That 1st pic is amazing! All of the bobsleds I've been on have felt sluggish, but the old flying turns apparently weren't. I hope Knoebel's can make their new ride more like the old while still being safe. Do I correctly recall (somewhere in the back of my mind) that classic flying turns had maintenance trouble? If I ever read that, it was in the ol' Traver book. If not, pardon me.

MS would be a decent ride if they took that *&$%*$& trim off the first drop and found a way to get it to run smoothly. But a good layout?! Think again..... the first three hills? Yes. The rest? Gentle slopes creating boring dips, and wide slow turns creating boring... well turns. The entire ride is just a wannabe Texas Giant with none of the edge, creativity, or forces that make a good coaster. It is perhaps the ULTIMATE "big numbers not adding up to a big ride experience" coaster. That said, if they truly retrack it every year, I think they're having it done by drunk blind worker elves, since the track always feels worse for the wear when I go.
