Posted on September 14, 2009 in Reviews by

Yes yes, it is the tallest. From the ground to the point, it is the tallest. Six Flags Great America is owner of this double-decker and here is a tiny review.

A pretty good day shot of the ride. You can also see the reflecting pool in use.  This is the first thing you see when you enter the entrance plaza...

Europe’s Fastest

Posted on September 13, 2009 in Reviews by

Silver Star Now Silver Star is not Europe’s fastest coaster, it is their 4th fastest. But you can say that it is the fastest in Europe that has a lift hill before it’s main course ride. You just nearly make a 79 mph drop into airtime hills and make your way through over one mile of track.

The lift hill is pretty massive....

Many people have hussed and fussed about the new Mack Mega-Looper Blue Fire. From the looks of it…

Blue Fire

It has a pretty sweet looking first hill. It launches you into this turn around hill which then leads you into the first inversions such as loops and corkscrews. Although it creeps up its first element, the rest of the coaster keeps a very fast...

Posted on September 10, 2009 in Reviews by

Many people are not familiar with the S&S coaster manufacturer. But they do do some very incredible things, including a couple record breaking coasters that I will showcase for you here.

Dodonpa

Dodonpa happens to be the first coaster I will review. It is the world’s fastest accelerating coaster, beating any other coaster by going 0-106.9mph in 1.8 seconds! During the 55...

Posted on September 9, 2009 in Uncategorized by

Ring Racer had a lot of fuss this and last year. Breaking the speed record at 135mph or 217km, is pretty impressive. The coaster launches you at its top speed of 135mph in 2.7 seconds. Making it one of the fastest accelerating coasters in the world!

Ring Racer (ring°racer) is an S&S thrust air coaster. The coaster is located on the...

Six Flags Tournament of Thrills Results

Trophy

 

The Six Flags Tournament of Thrills has just recently ended. Le Monstre seemed to take over all the coasters it versed. From the beginning, Le Monstre would not have been suspected as the winner, only beating Comet at Great Escape by only 12%. As soon as Le Monstre won against El Toro, something was going on. It seemed as if...
