Calling Coaster Matt....

[Moonliner]

Fact check please.

Is this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7937557.stm) the worlds steepest coaster?

I really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY have to ride one of those.

It's really a meh ride - you flip upside down, then hang upside for a straightaway, the flip rightside up for a straight away rinse repeat.

Have we ever done a LoT magic mountain trip? I know the place is creaky, but X is worth the trip. :) And CoasterMatt must be there. CoasterMatt = Best Tour Guide Barbie, ever.

really in this day of age, parks can claim anything and have it will be taken as correct... Including a certain Six Flags in GA that claims one of their coasters has an extra loop.

That may be the steepest drop... considering the other coaster mentioned here is a different model.. I still prefer the 200 foot 90 degree (for the most part) drop on SheiKra.

[CoasterMatt]

I can't wait to ride (floorless) Sheikra - and other fun stuff in June.

There is one Screamin' Squirrel in Gardaland in Italy and i might go there in May on my Italian trip . I'll tell you how its like .

I don't understand why Thorpe Park claims that their newest Coaster is the World's Steepest Coaster because its not the first coaster of its kind in Europe .

Bobbejaanland in Belgium they've got Typhoon and Bon Bon Land in Denmark has another coaster of its kind .

Why start a new thread when there's this perfectly good, practically unused one lying around? Check out this walkable (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/walkable-roller-coaster-sculpture-opens-in-germany/) roller-coaster!

Might I suggest this (http://gizmodo.com/5861823/watch-a-death-luge-fly-down-a-mountain-with-no-brakes) for Matt's next vacation?

It's a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria

I would ride this.

[RStar]

Without brakes it's a long ride. It would be an amazing longer ride through great countryside with the brakes!

IF the person riding behind you decides not to use their brake, it wouldn't be so fun.

IF the person riding behind you decides not to use their brake, it wouldn't be so fun.It wouldn't be too bad with enough lube
