Are we talking about the same ride? Too smooth? What?! Every time anyone rides this coaster they complain it's too rough, then we get someone that says it's too smooth. The smoothest seat is in the front, and it still rattles you a little bit. Hmm... I will agree about the trims though.
I liked mean streak, although I do agree on the trims. I didn't however like Blue Streak. My seatbelt was too tight, and it hurt on all the airtime hills.
Oh, so it hurt on all the hills? You should have loosened the seatbelt all the way. That ride is awesome and in 1:3 or 4:3 you can't stay on your seat.
I agree with Ninja being a piece of junk. I would've put it on my list, but over three would be stretching it. This makes me think that thank goodness Shockwave is gone. Yes, I know Ninja is made by Vekoma, but they are both very similiar. I was riding the one in Georgia and I thought I was going to snap my neck.

Ninja was great, it had one of the single best headchoppers I've ever experianced.

I really didn't like Psyclone at SFMM, as a matter of fact if there was one coaster I absolutely hated it would be Psyclone. Just plain bad, no fun at all. Mean Streak is smooth compared to this ride.

No way, thats my 3rd favorite coaster. And people cracking on Mean Streak, come on. The ride is fine if you sit the first car. I rode it this May, in the front seat, and its one of the smootest rides I ever had on a woodie. Vekoma SLC's: I rode Top Gun at PCWo and it banged you a bit, but it really wasnt that bad. I have heard though, that this one of the best SLC's out there.
Yeah everybody seems to, I just found it slow, and not intense. The second half could be but it stops in the mid course brakes.....if you like it thats fine with me, it just didn't do anything for me.

SOB-lol...I have rode it 4 times. Heres why-my first time-to see if the front seat is better-with some girls I met at the park -and my friend had never rode it. On top of SOB being rough is the restraints kill your thieghs (sp).
Virtua Tennis- I rode it like 4 years ago, it's about number 15 on my tracklist. So it probably seemed better than I realize. Regardless the theming was excellent.
