See I like the appearence of the Ultra Twisters with their vertical lift, but I've heard they're hell machines due to their roughness. They still look cool. If SFGAm could receve a ride of theirs, I'd like an altered UT coaster...just reconstruct the original vertical lift...?
The reason SFAW's UT has the 45* lift is because there were problems getting to the riders in an evacuation. That's one of the reasons why it left SFGAdv before going to SFAW.

I have actually rode two UT's this year and I had heard the same thing on how rough they were and was surprised at how much fun they are. Got to ride Ultra Twister at Nagashima Spaland with the vert lift and Ultra Twister at Astroworld and both were good!

Waiting to fill this space with something stupid to say!
I thought Ultra Twister was so unique when I rode it. The only expierience that came close to it was Viper at GAdv, but that was way rougher and a different kind of wheel.
Believe me, anyone who thinks Iron Wolf is rough should ride SoB. Anyone who thinks Son of Beast is rough should have ridden Viper. That was the roughest coaster i've been on.
