Tunnels on some coaster and rides I find kind of boring because you go through them so fast! Unless it's Hades which I love or a indoor coaster.

I couldn't imagine a demon without tunnels.

Looks like it.... Maybe this year I'll get the guts to go on it but I can't help being scared on a coaster like that with only a little lap bar there to save your life. lol

Wolf is a ton more easier than Demon except the headbanging, Bull is easier than Viper because they drops on it are some what less intense, SUF absolutely BORING and is a waste of time!, V2 amazing! and Batman is a must ride but not the best but rather boring but is an inverted coaster everybody needs to ride!

yeah SUF is very boring and it is not worth the long waits

bull's drops are less intense than viper??? i don't think so, but i haven't been on bull in a while because my thighs are too big :oops:


V2 is the best ride to me

B:TR is too short but i still like it


and i dont really care for IW

size of the drops has nothing to do with intensity. Though drop for drop (only the drops, not counting the crests of hills or anything fancy like that), Bull has Viper beat by a long shot. Luckily the important parts Viper has it in the bag :)

Well after Bull's first drop, It's really easy! Viper however, it's easy too, just with more drops that are intense. The first drop Bull rules Viper's, but all around I find Bull easier than Viper. Remember, it's only my opinion.

try the first drop on Goliath at SFMM or Titan at SFOT, both 255 foot drops and the most boring big drops you will ever ride, literally 255 foot tall ramps, by your flawed logic, they should be immensely thrilling cause they are big. It all has to do with the design of the crest of the hills, if the crest gives no airtime, the drop is going to do nothing either.

in my opinion, Viper is far and away the better of the 2 coasters in SW Territory.

First of all, I don't get why everyone is so up in arms over this guy taking over. Personally I think he sounds like a fun guy that knows what he's doing. Well all know that it would be fun to have a park with all high end thrill rides but in real life you cant have that and expect to have a good attendance. His plan sounds great and I think he has a long journey ahead of him. Why did the last guy neglect so much?

I'm not really getting what Cove26flags is saying but does X (before it's gonna be X2) have a good drop?

^I think he's talking about Shapiro and I believe the drop won't be changed. Maybe I'm wrong on that one but I think its gonna stay pretty similar.
