Honestly, the area that they’re designating for the main entrance to HOS would make a beautiful permanent entrance to the park with the waterfront and the coasters in the background. One can dream.
Given that the general sentiment since Gringotts has been Intamin = Unworthy/bad, I think my comments are entirely warranted. Put it this way... anybody that has been outside of the Florida bubble to experience true Intamin masterpieces knows exactly what I'm talking about. Universal (to their...
Benchmarking new rides against existing rides is how we review things. That’s how new restaurants get reviewed, it’s how hotels get reviewed, it’s how people formulate opinions. Guess you’ve never seen that giant banner hanging in front of mythos flaunting it’s best in the world awards?

I knew 5 years ago that y’all would go cray cray over the Intamins but you’re flexing a little too hard with the rating scale thing. Is it a phenomenal ride? Absolutely. But if for anything else it should encourage *some of you* to step out of the Orlando bubble and experience other coasters...
On LinkedIn the designer said that the raptor statues under the stall are paying homage to the dragons statues at the entrance to dueling dragons. Nice touch.
It has to do with where the restraint sits on your body. It’s the reason that most enthusiasts prefer the Intamin t bar over the u bar. One rests in your thigh while the other rests closer to your waistline.

Same, probably the best part about social distancing is the luxury of personal space. But a push towards normal society is really encouraging and I hope they continue to chip away at it and follow the science.
This one has a slight hop in it that a traditional heart line roll does not. You’ll definitely get a notable float of air there. It’s designed in the same style as RMC’s inversions.
Oooof I hope that’s not accessible to guests! Bougainvillea is what you put in front of your windows when you don’t want the burglars to show up lol. Ouchie.
He’s the reason we’re even talking about this in the first place. Could learn a thing or two from how Florida handled it. Even places like Dollywood are handling ops well and that’s about as country as it gets. Time to open shop.
