[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 289047, member: 134"] I watched that video and thought, no way is that a real coaster. Few YouTube clicks later and I'm wondering why nothing insane like this has come stateside! It's funny too, for as long as the queue is in the Planet Coaster video, it looked like people were practically walking onto the ride in the real vid I saw. I live near (just over an hour's drive away) Magic Mountain here in SoCal, home of the world record for most coasters at 19. Actually I'd call it 16, as the other 3 are kiddie coasters and not thrill rides. Anyways, they have a ride called Scream (us locals call it Parking Lot, the Ride, as it literally was built in the parking lot and they never bothered to even remove the lane stripes from the asphalt) that this sorta reminded me of with it just being one inversion after another; a measly 9 compared to The Smiler's 14. Thing is, it's so smooth, so fluid, you sorta get no thrill from going upside down after the first 2 or 3 inversions. I'm wondering, in all it's steal pretzelled glory, if The Smiler suffers that same fate. I did notice it has one airtime hump, so yay. [/QUOTE]
