Mack rides has the best balance

Mack doesnt always have the most intense rides, but their stuff feels polished and fun for more people. Thats underrated.

Dive coasters are fun but the layouts after the drop need more love. Some of them just wander back to the brakes.

Weather changes everything. A hot evening ride can make a mid coaster suddenly feel cracked.

The newer Vekoma stuff looks so clean. The old boomerang reputation is carrying way too much weight.

Magnum has more personality than a lot of glass smooth rides. I said what I said.

Idk man, the rattle was not charming when I rode it. My shoulders were cooked after. Also sorry but that take is wild.

The first half matters more to me. If the coaster crawls into the brake run, I still remember the good parts.

I used to think this was a bad take, then I got a night ride and yeah okay I get it now.

S&S free spins are lottery rides. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes just awkward bouncing.

I think enthusiasts overuse the word forceless. Not every coaster is trying to be a blackout machine.

Quoting the last point: no, thats exactly the thoosie brain rot I mean. Mack rides feel expensive in the best way. Like the trains, profiling, audio, all of it feels finished.

The pacing is good but I dont love when every element is trying to be ejector. Sometimes its too much.

Gerstlauer can make wild layouts but yeah those restraints can turn a fun ride into a boxing match.
