Night ride photos are impossible lol

Every time I try to shoot a coaster at night it looks like a blurry snake. Any settings that actually work?

A little roughness is fine. jackhammering is not personality, its just bad maintenance. Also sorry but that take is wild.

No way Magnum is better than most gigas. Its historically important but come on now.

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.

I rode it in the back and it was way better than the front. Row matters more than people admit.

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

Nah, smooth doesnt automatically mean boring. I hear that all the time and it feels like people just want pain lol.

Wing coasters are vibes. Maybe not the strongest rides but they look insane from the midway. Also sorry but that take is wild.

Quoting the last point: no, thats exactly the thoosie brain rot I mean. This thread is getting spicy but honestly thats why I like forums more than comment sections.
