This is my new favorite ride and I’ve never been on it. It’s awesome how it really makes it look like you’re flying through the trees and then climb again to dive down through a Transylvania themed town. All with a haunting gothic station to get on and off. What a cool ride.

Yeah. They have 3 good rollercoaster: Dragon's Fury, Mandrill Mayhem, and Vampire. Mandrill Mayhem is the only one which goes upside-down. It has some decent hangtime. Dragon's Fury is the only major one which spins or has lapbars. It has decent airtime. (Rattlesnake is a small ride.) Vampire has the strongest positive GS, though it doesn't have any airtime or laterals. It's also the only major rollercoaster which doesn't go backwards. Dragon's Fury is my favourite. And Rattlesnake would probably be my least favourite if I rode it. Rattlesnake probably has the strongest laterals.

These are called anti rollbacks, so that if the train were to stop, it would not allow it to roll back causing a safety issue.

@charlesarnold1953Ай бұрын
They were both manufactured by Arrow Dynamics; BBW in 1984 & Vampire in 1990. BBW was a a wonderful smooth family ride with a 90+ ft drop over the Rhine River & near hitting buildings through a German village. It lasted for 25 yrs & then BGW was having trouble getting parts they needed & felt like it had finished it's life span as a high quality ride. Vampire has lasted 33 yrs.They have had to replace the original trains with Vekomas & all of those years of wear & tear, could explain why some people think it has become rather jerky.

It’s interesting that this is a “suspended” coaster, rather than an “invert”, as the riders’ feet are hanging, and not sitting in an enclosed gondola or car. Was this ride always like this? Or is it classed as such due to the swinging nature of the seats?
@AttractionSource9 ай бұрын
The suspended coaster name was created by the original manufacturer, Arrow Dynamics. It used to nicely themed suspended cars where riders feet did not dangle and the vehicle was more enclosed - worth a Google search to see pics.

I wonder: is this ride as smooth as I remember? Because I'm unsure whether or not my mother should ride. She definitely should ride Mandrill Mayhem and Dragons Fury, but she generally only comes on the first rollercoaster I ride with me and refuses to ride anything else for the rest of the day.
@rideexpedition Жыл бұрын
Its a weird sort of smoothness. The track itself is smooth but the train makes it feel slightly jolty.. definitely not rough, but there are some sections where the train begins to swing but locks itself and causes a jolt.
