    SFOG is my home park and this ride is my guilty pleasure. The refurbishment, new paint, new trains and new restraints make it a much better ride than Ninja ever was. Ninja used to be a ride you’d avoid but Blue Hawk, it’s a fun ride that you can marathon if you want because lines tend to be very short.
    And now that GASM has been retracked, that section of the park is relatively enjoyable now and not just Superman.

    • @RapidZCoasters
      @RapidZCoasters 2 года назад +3

      This is a fairly smooth coaster, no headbanging because of the vests. But like an arrow looper, it is going to have a couple jolts. Even though this is Vekoma.

    • @cosmicberry26
      @cosmicberry26 2 года назад

      I personally do not like this coaster. It isn't smooth imo. The addition of the vests did mostly eliminate the headbanging. But you might as well hop on it once if you're already in the park. Some people really like the ride.

  • @coastaku1954
    @coastaku1954 2 года назад

    It looks like these new trains still have a problem with wheel tollerance, I can see the car slamming down when coming out of an inversion, meaning there is a gap between the upstops and the rail, a common issue with Arrows and older Vekomas. It makes that coaster look so rough with the trains able to rock and shake so freely

    • @coastaku1954
      @coastaku1954 2 года назад

      @Arrow Dynamics Inc. Actually they don't, hell Steel Vengeance has spring tensed upstops to keep them against the wheel, most modern steel coasters have little to no gap between all of the wheels

      Old Vekoma is unwilling to Arrow, but not close enough to be Schwarzkopf.
      The bending is actually did right, but the transition between it was still questionable. So you got ride that could be good, but still not yet, which is frustating

      Thanks for this discussion I was thinking this was an arrow coaster as well. Track design/construction, lift hill sound, etc. but the track layout seems better than an arrow cookie cutter style elements. The transitions seem smoother.

      @@AdamSmith-gs2dv They kinda "stole" it, but as I understand it, Arrow taught Vekoma how to manufacture track back in the day to help Arrow install rides overseas. Then Vekoma just realized they could build rides themselves and went out on their own.
