Shocked at how fast it is, especially how fast the climb before the (bullshit) steepest drop is.

Haven't bothered with theme parks in a few years, the climbs used to take a fairly long time.

My first experience with this was The Incredible Hulk at Universal in Florida. If youre standing in line and not really paying attention you dont realize youre going to be shot up the first hill. It was a cool surprise on an otherweise ho-hum, run of the mill coaster.

Meh. I used to be a wimp but now i'm a boss when it comes to rollercoasters. Still, i'll ride it for the lulz.

I was just at Fuji-Q a few months ago and saw this being built. Looks like fun!

 

[Jeramii]

that doesn't look like anything scary or intense compared to X2 at magic mountain, or whatever that one is at cedar point that launches you to 120ish in 3 seconds.

edit: looks pretty fun though (minus that price to ride it).

Should have built a roller coaster that goes around the CN Tower. However I will still take this:

WTF?!!!??!!!!

this is insane

I haven't been on any rollercoasters for almost 3 years now.

Makes me sad

Since so many here have been hellbent on calling this record a fraud, it seems appropriate to bring up Busch Gardens Tampa's SheiKra. It's a true 90º drop:

They also leave you hanging at the top for about 5 seconds. That little trick really messes with your mind on the first row. :lol


Anyhow, would love to ride the coaster in the OP. Even though it might be focusing a lot on a coaster-peen measurement contest, it looks like a total blast outside of that.

This is a great addition to a great park. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting Fuji Q. The coasters are amazing.

 

[childplease]

Looks incredibly scary. I want to ride it!

Thats what she said.

 

[Frankenstrat]

looks like fun!

Hands are sweating just from watching that. God damn roller coasters scare me.

Stormrunner and Fahrenheit FTW

Hershey Park fan here huh?

Stormrunner is a very cool ride, but the seats are not comfy at all. I'm 6'2" and the one shoulder support would actually dig into me and made me pretty sore. The Great Bear or whatever was cool for it's time there too.

I have no bias. I like both wooden and metal coasters, each have their own qualities.

 

[cvxfreak]

I need to go to Fuji-Q ASAP!

 

[Nemesis121]

If i ever visit Japan i am going on that....

 

[Tawney Bomb]

That looks like a blast, I like how they just have you sit there for a second or two completely still, before letting you go down the hill.

so does it go:
this, kingda, then top thrill dragster now?
