    Alan is the man. It's a combination of many factors as to why he can design these new rides. They're done on a computer. Box track design. Better trains and restraints. He's not stuck in the B&M mentality of doing airplane maneuvers. Alan's designs are similar to Intamin, but he's on the cutting edge. On my top steel ranking web page, I've created a new category for RMC.

    The best part is at 6:28 when the ride in the background is over and people clap their hands. That's mostly aimed to Mr. Schilke. ;)

    I hope no one gets hurt for two reasons: I don't want people to get hurt, and I want these rides to get more and more exciting.
