I think Disney have a nack of producing thrilling rides while making them accessable for kids too - it goes both ways. Tower of Tower delivers a huge bunch of quiet substansial forces but also can take on 4 year olds.

Add a kicker magnet on the launch track right before the climb

100% this. It's like 10 seconds riding forwards or backwards on a straight bit of track at a moderate speed.

Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point "Closing"
Dean Barnett replied to Coasterjoe's topic in Theme Park Discussion
No one cares about scooby - especially on a global scale. Top thrill dragster is a beast - a record smasher and a huge hit with GP and enthusiasts alike. Scrapping Wicked Twister makes sense if this is true (which I think it is) - there's no point having a mini version of the same ride (except inverted I guess). I also wouldn't be surprised if they added a non inverting loop to the top hat. Falling from over 400ft, facing forwards into a airtime hill (which ST should have had) then the top hat would be a completely new experience. The hydraulic system took up to a minute to reset in the hotter days, LSMs don't need this as long as they cool well enough. -
Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster vs. Wild Mouse vs. Dingo Racer
Dean Barnett replied to TBoy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I kinda don't think you can put Scooby and Wild Mouse in the same category. Scooby is an indoor, themed ride - and Wild Mouse is an outdoor, former travelling carnival coaster with the best views of any roller coaster on the planet, and one of the only few remaining with a manual brake. Dingo Racer is an off the shelf meh.- 53 replies

If they get a fast scoot out of the station and use a fast switch track (like Hagrids) behind the first launch… and then start the next cycle after the previous train clears the top hat, it might just work and be the same or quicker. -

Lap bars for SE would be ideal - will make the ride more thrilling for sure. Hydraulic launches are definitely the best kind in my personal opinion - closely followed by pneumatic air launches then LSMs .. but the LSM's can be hit and miss.- 329 replies

Theme Park Worldwide Announce Australian Tour
Dean Barnett replied to Noll_57's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I never did such thing. I said it's interesting that some parks allow you to ride holding a untethered mobile phone with a backpack at your feet - and some parks (here) will force you to remove a tissue from your pocket before dispatching. I'm not saying out parks should follow the Disney method.. maybe just a happy medium?- 329 replies
