Floorless coasters feel kind of pointless now

They are fine, but I never feel like the floorless trains change the ride that much. Maybe I am missing something.

I still love boomerangs when they run decent. They are simple but the backwards part gets GP every time.

You guys confuse painful with intense. Those are not the same thing.

A little roughness is fine. jackhammering is not personality, its just bad maintenance.

No way Magnum is better than most gigas. Its historically important but come on now. I know folks wont like that but whatever.

People clown on clones but a good clone is better than a weird custom layout that does nothing.

Unpopular opinion but I would take a good family launch coaster over a rough looping coaster every day.

The ops can change the whole day too. A slow crew makes even a great coaster feel worse cause your already irritated.

I wish more parks bought Extreme Spinners but I bet capacity and cost scare them off.

Hard disagree. If a ride has no strong moment after the drop then I am not putting it top tier.

The Smiler is messy in a good way. I dont need it to be elegant, I need it to be weird.

Quoting the last point: no, thats exactly the thoosie brain rot I mean. I rode it in the back and it was way better than the front. Row matters more than people admit. Also sorry but that take is wild.

Floorless trains made sense back then. Now they feel more like marketing, but I still enjoy the open feeling.
