      Sorry folks..Unless you’re John Allen,William Cobb or Harry Traver..That’s the trinity of coaster designer of wooden Coaster designers….And ….The best wooden coaster in existence today is the Voyage Roller Coaster…Interview the Gravity Group..That’s real “Street Cred”…

    Although people ride this for the thrills, this coaster is a work of art. He is truly an artist.

    I believe rollercoasters are a form of art just like paintings and music. And he is an amazing artist.

  • @slimydog2003

    When asked about Cedar Point's contribution for the second half of the coaster's design (within the structure), Alan's response was just amazing.
    "It's really just the ride. The ride was there. It wanted to be there. It lead itself to be there. So, all we had to do was follow it." Being a former skater, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Alan is/was a die-hard skier, surfer, skater and/or snowboarder. That's Cali mantra right there.

    • @lunaprk
      @lunaprk  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      slimydog2003 thanks for the comment. Allan really is into “extreme” sports and has said early on he was inspired by snowboarding maneuvers. I know he was laid up in a hospital couple years ago due to an injury from snowmobiling I think.

    • @lordmanshaft1112

    • @ts4gv
      @ts4gv 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I get why you'd say it's a Cali sounding statement but please note that what he said is also literally true. The new track never deviates more than 10 feet left or right from the original. (Lots of vertical deviation, but always using at least some of the original supports.)

      I think those of us who grew up riding Mean Streak many times (mainly for its short lines) have a special appreciation for Steel Vengeance. It's a bit like watching your childhood friend make it big in Hollywood.

I didn’t get to ride Steel Vengeance unfortunately, I went opening week and my stay at the park was 2 days. We had fast passes for every ride but SV wasn’t using fast pass at the time and the regular queue was averaging 8-10 hour wait times both days we were there, we were very disappointed but Im going back for it!!!

    His perspective is missed. RMC needed him to reimagine rides. They shit the bed on Gwazi as far as it being a complete package like SV is. I’ve recreate ridden both and while Gwazi is balls to the wall, it’s not completel or well thought out like what Alan can do. Aire Force is looking the same way. We will see what they do with wildcat

    Here’s the problem…Roller Coasters have changed so dramatically..The fear factor has been reduced..No laminated wood tracks-Which roar when the cars traverse them..Built on site/No PTC trains that give you max airtime and movement ..And the sense of imagined danger ..Totally gone..A wooden coaster should give you the feeling of a being in a earthquake while going at a high rate of speed…One of the last few examples remaining today is the Boardwalk Bullet in Kemah Tx(Near Houston Texas)..This little coaster..Built on 1 acre of land -is absolutely the most intense wooden coaster currently operating..It’s a 100% blast from the past…It’s not even 100ft high but is scarier than Steel Vengeance..It’s for coaster purists ..And it’s almost impossible to hold your hands up on the 1st drop -which is like a Mike Tyson knock out punch for roller coasters!..It’s 3000ft of pure fury..And this the way a wooden roller coaster should be..Not a hybrid..Steel Tracks on a wooden frame..But this new generation just can’t handle a rough and frightening ride.😂😂😂😂😂…If the Texas Cyclone(1976-1984 version (Before modifying because of frivolous lawsuits)existed today..You would have every Fan Boy coaster kid crying online about how dangerous it is..And it was only 92ft high but the consensus #1 coaster on the planet…To get a idea…It destroyed the famous Beast Roller Coaster which was built during this time period also…Maybe I’m just a old cranky man but I know more about roller coasters than most people today…And the Bible of Roller Coasters was written by Dr.Robert Cartmell years ago.(RIP)….Times have changed but bring back the Texas Cyclone (Built by William Cobb)and correct the Universe of Roller Coasters!!!

    How is it that people still won't stop endlessly dissing arrow dynamics creations that are being torn down out of pure cheapness and laziness (arrow documentary=shows literal facts of S&S Sansei being fine with making new parts, why loch ness monster at BGW is so well taken care of, as are others noticeably). They say they are "rough" or "not that exciting" even the huge ones. Yet they are totally ok with RMC and how the seats have no padding, no back support, and the lap bar feels like it's breaking your legs off on every airtime/ejector airtime hill? This is why I like "Goliath" since it only has one hill and wish I could ride Zadra. Really hoping "Jersey Devil" is not like that and yes I know it's single rail different cars/trains then the iron horse and/or topper track design.
