That looks pretty interesting, i just rode that mtn coaster at Jiminy yesterday, was fun, faster than you think but too short, just when u get into it , all done..

eh. i have seen pics of the bike coasters before and i have no big desire to try one. there are certainly a lot of high quality coasters much higher up on the to do list than a vekoma bike coaster.

Gotta agree with Riverc0il on this one, it looks cool with the motorcycle seats and all, but in reality at pales in comparison to other coasters out there.

Try riding a real bike. That coaster looks pretty boring. There are a few tracks you can cut loose on a sport bike around or try some off road action.

 

[riverc0il]

the tracking does seem fairly conservative, but those restraints prob don't allow for more forceful maneuvers. it is a launch coaster though, that is always fun. that looks like the highlight though. hard to judge without riding it, but it doesn't exactly get me fired up like a lot of the big name coasters in the usa.

My family used to travel around the whole east coast being coaster enthusiasts. The best park ive ever been to for coasters is Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio.. Nothing else even comes close

I've been out to Cedar Point twice... nice place but man are their operations in a downward slide. My favorite park service-wise is Hersheypark. Great park in a great town.

we went to cedar point this summer, really sick park. after not doing amusement parks for about a half dozen years, i got hooked back into it hard core with a visit to that park. already planning trips for next year, prob busch gardens williamsburg and kings dominion. maybe a weekend to some place closer too.

Seconded. Unfortunately their faster roller coaster: http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/park/rides/coasters/top_thrill_dragster/index.cfm
was closed all three times I was there. Although I was able to get to everything else.

i thought operations were stellar at CP this summer. i have been to a lot of parks (none recently though) and have been to just about every major park in eastern coastal states. i was blown away by the ride ops for most rides, especially the coasters. these guys kicked major booty. food service was a tad slow and sloppy service, the place was pristinely clean. i'd give them a 9/10 on operations with food service being my only issue.

I actually went there just for that one reason to ride the top thrill dragster, luckily i got on it, very quick.. Millennium force is a nice one too right onthe side of the water. I went down to Six flags in Jersey to ride its rival, i guess its taller by like 20feet and a few mph faster and had the same problem , closed both times i went.. Steve kings dominion is real nice.. If u are ever back in Ohio they have a sister park called Kings Island near Cincy.. Not a bad trip if u can hit that and cedar point.. BG is more for the families but has a few good coasters, havent been there in awhile though.

I agree with ya Steve, unlike Six flags in Jersey everytime ive always gone to say hershey park or somewhere out in the midwest i never have the problem of line cutters and all that other crap that goes on around here.. Well run places

i have been to kings dominion before, but it was a long time ago when anaconda was the big steel coaster, lol. they have put in some new coasters since. i don't know if i would make a trip just to KD, but busch gardens owns. when i was last there, the drachen fire was still standing and i still measure most coasters to the drachen fire, it was wikked and ahead of its time despite being so rough. any ways, that was before apollo and alpie. BBW and lock are still amazing rides even though they are dated, plus they have a new drop coaster going in this coming spring, so should be worth the trip. next time we head out to ohio, we'll hit up kings island. heard lots of great things about the beast, definitely on the to do list. would have done it this summer, but we only had three park days on top of two travel days and didn't feel like driving halfway across ohio for one day at another park. i am over due for a return to hershey. that might end up being a weekend trip next year, maybe in combo with dorney. so many parks... so far away.... so little time.

Ya Dorney and Hershey are a good weekend trip.. Dorney has a great waterpark too from what i hear. I just like walking around hershey smelling chocolate all day, they even have a little zoo in there.. I went there last year and hit up the Amish country for an afternoon.
