I remember when they put up the sign saying to remove your earings. I'm not sure if I have seen a sign like that for another rollercoaster thou.

Bemmers are wonderful, comfortable and have excellent airtime. I love Intamin for their quick turns and transitions. Arrow? well the only Arrow I love is Tennessee Tornado. I'm still trying to understand why it's still so smooth to this day when all its brother, sisters and cousins are rough as all get out. Mack is also starting to be one of my fav manufacturers.

I love Arrow. The only one I've been on that I didn't enjoy was Corkscrew at CP. Ow.

Arrows I've been on:

Carolina Cyclone
Carolina Goldrusher
Iron Dragon
Magnum XL 200
Gemini
Viper (Darien Lake)
Dahlonega Mine Train
Loch Ness Monster

I'm not very fond of Arrow, but there are a few that hold a place in my heart.

Magnum (still my #1 steel)
Adventure Express (why couldn't Carowinds get this mine train?)
Big Bad Wolf
Vortex (a suspended that is a borderline top 10 or top 20 for me)
Gemini
Tennessee Tornado
Thunderation (best mine train EVER)

Flight of Fear had signs up to remove earrings when they first opened.

Not only have the recent b&m's been boring and mediocre, butintimidatorthey are extremely rough as well.

B&M, rough? You've never been to Carowinds, I see.


Intimidator jackhammers. The recent b&m's since around 2009 has it. Apollos chariot & nitro smooth to this day. Diamondback, Intimidator, gatekeeper, etc your teeth rattle the further back in the train you go.


I've never been on Nitro, but on intimidator or diamondback I've never experienced that either........smooth smooth smooth
