Classic battle: Ice or Fire?

[tiredoldspook]

I like both of them, don't have a favorite. I love how you go right over Ice on Fire for the first duel but I Love the straight shot to the loops on Ice.

 

[The_Bled]

Fire for me. A little bit more thrilling.

 

[Dr. Emmett Brown]

Is it just me, or is Fire actually winning?

 

[The_Bled]

Out of Curiosity, Fire has more loops than ice right?

 

[DrumMasterJoey]

Ice, It seems a little bit more intense. Thats what I need.

 

[Dr. Emmett Brown]

Both are equal in all stats.

Except for G's. I think Ice has more positive G's.

 

[The_Bled]

^ Oh, my bad. Nice to see you back Joey!

 

[some random guy]

fire is faster but ice seems like it has more inversions than fire

 

[Scarletwebslingr]

Themeing for Ice is done better but I prefer drops over twists so I'm sticking with Fire

 

[biomegaceu]

I'm gonna go with ice. Just seems more intense to me. Plus I love those cobra rolls.

 

[kirby_is_kyaan]

Fire, for the same reason as Scarlet.

Nothing beats that Ice layout because of how unique it is in my opinion. Well except for Talon at Dorney Park and Patriot at Worlds of Fun. Those 2 inverts pwn both Dragons lol.

Wow - I hate replying to something that's almost a year old now, but I just saw this and I have to say - I'd call Talon and even moreso Patriot THE WORST B&M Inverted coasters ever built.

I'm not saying Dragons is #1 by any means, but Dragons IS good. I'm shocked to see someone cite those two as being that much better (at least I assume that was the intent through the middle school spelling of "own")

This past trip made my decision definitive.


Ice.

Ice.

Really? Ice does feel like it pulls more Gs through the cobra roll, but fire is indeed a longer track.

Fire pulls more G's in the incline loop than Ice does in the cobra roll. Both tracks are 3200'. I'm not sure that Fire is a longer 3200' than Ice

Really? That's different.

They're both 3200'? Fire lasts longer then. Ice breaks a lot sooner than Fire does.

It doesn't break a lot sooner. It brakes seconds before Fire- and the reason is the turn around fer the drop eats up more track than the immelman does, and same can be said for the cobra roll versus the incline loop. Basically, Ice is further along in its course when it reaches the brakes. The lengths are the same.

I like the first half of ice better, but I like the second half of fire better...

Im fire all the way. The immelhelix thing is my favorite part

It's called an "incline loop" - though I'm not sure why because it's pretty much nothing like an incline loop? :shrug:
