Fixed it for you, SFGAmfreak4life. Are you on dial up? Get cable, it makes annoying slow loading pics on message boards become just annoying pics. :-P

I got DSL. I said that comment because of the dial up users and the picture takes up a lot of space when you post it.

I know they pick the coaster. But they would get more visitors if its an original coaster than a clone.
Eh, what's up?

tackoking.I guess you need to be educated on the fact that enthusiasts who travel to different parks make up such a small percentage of their business, that its not an issue.Most people that visit SFGAm don't know that S:UF, DV, V2, B:TR, and Demon have identical coasters elsewhere in the world.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

What I was saying is that they get MORE visitors with an original. More visitors = more money.

The GP doesnt know if its an original or not. I bet that the GP at GAm thinks thats the only SF park.

I've only been on 2 clones, B:TR at sfmm and B:TR at sfstl, I didn't care that they're clones, besides B:TR at sfstl is different since it's mirrored so that made my ride experience somewhat different.
Signatures are dumb.

Not all of the B&M B:TR models are called B:TR. There are 7 that are called B:TR. The others are called Diavlo, Gambit, Great White, and Vampire.http://rcdb.com/installationresult.htm? ... &contact=1

You're counting Gambit twice. It's now B:TR at SFNO.
