^Bull for the most part is smooth, but a few parts in the ride the train vibrates like crazy like when your going into the second turnaround before the MCBR. Its kinda hard to explain.

Yeah, Bull is very rough before the turn into the MCBR. But the rest of it is smooth.

The smoothest I have been on could be El Toro.

The only time it has ever vibrated for me was on Mother's Day and it was only on the bottom of the first drop. Other than that I've never found it shaky or rough at all. I've always found it really smooth before the MCBR.

True, its just that one part. I love how you can hear the smoothness in line when a train flys by you.

Expedition Everest is smooth, but it is a little jerky on the 1st few turns before going backwards.

Id have to say Superman Ultimate Flight or Millennium Force

^Maybe he sat in a row which wasnt too bad. I know for me, the bumpiness can vary by where i sit on the rides.

^ You guys don't understand. We were saying that Bull is slightly shaky in one spot, on the red train. No one said that the whole coaster was rough.
