Mack rides launches make me cry about the death of the good launch
No for real😭in the 90s!!!! They had better launches with the same technology!!!! LSMs have backpedaled so much. It used to be how fast you can accelerate now it’s “how slow can we make this go”
The new Voltron at europa has short launches so they are very punchy, and the 0-60 on Blue Fire and its clones is pretty good too. But yeah every rolling launch I've done on a mack has been very underwhelming, Intamin and Gerstlauer have some great LSMs though
@@stegosaurus993
Even then, pantheon’s launch was mediocre! Having ridden rides like TTD and Storm runner… even rock n rollercoaster and flight of fear had better launches! I guess I just don’t like swing launches.
@@gerarddip Haven't done pantheon but have done Toutatis and the swing launch is probably my favorite part of the ride, I think having the trench and the 4 ejector moments more than makes up for it being less forceful. Think I've only done one LIM coaster in Belgium, Flight force had a good launch too, but yeah a good hydraulic will always be best
Hydraulics all the way!
Isn’t ironic that there’s a hunger games themed land in a country known for having a poor human rights record. Like Dubai literally reminds me of the capital city from hunger games
I would also like to mention beyond the clouds. It’s a coaster by Mack but the launch looks insane
i never noticed that!! that is indeed very ironic
Good for immersion
Had the same thought and came here to say exactly that
Yeah, Dubai really is dystopian. Just a city built with infinite oil money by the super rich without any concept except to show off their wealth while the workers building their projects are treated like slaves and die in the scorching heat. That's without mentioning their incredibly homophobic and sexist society.
I'm sorry, I know this channel isn't about politics, but visiting such countries just to ride some coasters and be all amazed by their projects as if everything is fine over there is just very questionable to say the least.
@@phantafan7965 agree
Correction : The land is actually not the only Hunger Games theme park land in the world. There is a second one at a park called Lionsgate Entertainment World.
2:56 I Love How There's No Supports On The Vertical Section Of The Spike.
I love how Taylor says it’s the most thrilling coaster in the park as a 4D free spin is right next to it
Honestly Id say Madagascar Mad pursuit over in the indoor section is the more thrilling of the 2 rides. But I could see the layout for Capitol Bullet train being a good clone option for smaller parks, either as is or ditching the spike and instead having a more powerful single launch directly into the vertical loop. That would also remove the operational and technical complexity from the transfer track
man this makes me even more nervous for starfall racers once epic opens. If mack really still struggles that much with launches.. yikes
mack uses the same intrasys LSMs as gerstlauer, vekoma and b&m, my bet as to why especially the first launch has no force on this ride is because there are no stators on the actual transfer track so it has to move forward at a pretty slow rate to even reach the first launch. not sure why mack launches dont have much force to them when i know that the intrasys LSMs are capable of more intense launches, it might just be a choice made mack to reduce wear and tear from sudden changes in g forces on the ride vehicles if i had to place my bet on it
That’s a good point, maybe!
My guess: either a higher weight of the train, or wanting to keep the peak power usage lower.
0:28 “rides the line of family and thrill” makes me think of old Arrow loopers. I was riding those before I was 48 inches tall and they still had inversions. The smaller classic ones. So I totally get that but just for a modern coaster.
I think the reason they don't start with the backwards launch is because the LSMs are between the transfer track and the loop.
Sound very much like the launch of Operation Enterprise at Movie Park Germany, but lacking the twist in the spike.
Definitely has a lot of similarities
I agree with you, the only thing I really liked that much was that twisted airtime hill. However, it was still pretty fun, but I definitely prefer the dragon gliders coaster.
look at that cute little spike
It gains it's speed the mist mild way possible but it looks they they tried. This ride seems like something some guy was told to design but he was extremely scared and overly safe about everything in life.
Always great coaster reviews!
Copperhead Strike’s middle eastern brother from Temu.
Star treks little sister
There needs to be a higher quality hunger games themed area at a park. It’s such a good franchise and would be a cool franchise to have a ride themed to. Maybe universal could make one?
Huh, the rare coaster studios review of a ride I didn’t know existed.
the all white color schemes are super odd, you seem some of that on steel coasters in europe and in japan. cant really think of anything like that in the US
6:05 Real Madrid park? There's a Real Madrid park? Do they have a ride themed to Ronaldo or something? I bet it would be called the "Suii Screamer" or something
This comment is peak
I don’t recommend going there some of the rides look very old and sketchy and they don’t have many rides anyways .
Making me want to read the books again!
Very funny to have a themed Hunger Games land in Dubai. May as well have just UAE propaganda around instead of the Panem Propaganda
Lol if it has an inversion, it's not a family coaster. Especially not with 2.
Yes, but there is something to be said about the family thrill category. This doesn’t have the extreme forces usually associated with thrill rides
Great now i wanna ride copperhead strike lol
Hey would you mind telling me what microphone you use for voiceovers?
all of our equipment can be found in the description of each video!
@@CoasterStudios oh sweet thanks!
I enjoyed this coaster. Not world class by any means, but I wouldn’t call it part-family coaster.
mack rides doesnt make actual launches, they call it """boosters""" this may just be putting makeup on their bad launches, but probably no parks have actually ASKED for powerful launches *yet*, because most are kindd of family coasters, tho i think we may get a good launch in starfall racers, beacuse that really is a THRILL ride and in a universal park, plus, for that ride, it can be excused, its beautiful
Wouldn't the tallest point the train *reaches* would be the vertical loop?
isn't madagascar mad pursuit the standout coaster at this park?
Depends who you ask!
The whole concept of having a Hunger Games-themed land is like... so hilariously dense and missing the goddamn point of the book. Media literacy is dead, babes.
I think it’s cool seeing a themed land in a theme park. Yes it’s a darker story but it still lends itself to cool rides
@CoasterStudios Oh, it's definitely an interesting theme and I mean you no disrespect in my comment. I just always find it funny seeing something so inherently anti-corporate become a corporate entity like so.
@@CoasterStudios Well, it becomes very much cynical when you think about the UAE and Dubai specifically. Dubai is a dystopian nightmare, basically the real life version of the capitol with the super rich living a "perfect" life while the workers are treated like slaves and die building projects they don't have anything from.
this isn´t the only hunger games land there is also 1 in china
Should’ve gone with a Gravy Games coaster
So it's crapperhead strike?
Omg
can you review Madagascar mad pursuit
My toilet has a faster acceleration than any Mack multi launch
They nailed it! Just like the books and the movies, lots of hoopla, not a lot of great.
I live shockingly close to this place. May take a weekend trip , its only about 10000 miles from Minneapolis, basically a home park.
Looks alright. Copperhead looks better.
They really should have got Intamin to build this instead. Mack’s launches are laughably bad.
Blue Fire today, Icon tomorrow, Stardust Racers forever... except Star Trek: Operation Enterprise did the swing launch first, so it's not unique.
That is true I forgot Star Trek opened first!
Can we cancel Mack rides? 😂
No way, they do so many good coasters! We love Mack, it’s just we’re not a big fan of their launches!
No sound
Check your settings
As memorable as the movies.
It's definitely a much weaker and shorter Copperhead Strike, I wonder how popular it is in the area.
Well I went to the park on a day with about 1000 school children on excursion to the park and this along with Madagascar mad pursuit had the longest lines. Though after the school kids left for the day, it was pretty dead. Though I visited just 2 weeks after Taylor and Sarah and so John Wick open contact was closed (a shame since Ive never done a 4D free spin) as well as Dragon Gliders.
Was you at kings island the other day?
We were there this past week yes
@CoasterStudios lol I thought I saw you 🤣
copperhead poke
this park looks super boring and under-decorated. why was it so empty?
The park is actually really nice, even if some areas could’ve used a bit more theming- some parts of the park looked amazing. We believe it was quiet because of the high entry price
Uu nice mamma Mia
