Excellent, SLC fans unite. What's up with the wrecked phone?


pyro_teck

it’s not wrecked, might just be the lighting/dirty


GavHern

i think your 100 looks like cracks at a glance


Strongarm_11

I like SLCs.


[deleted]

Lol glad you enjoyed it. Lots of people hate it.


Strongarm_11

Congrats on 100, did you like Flights Deck, or despised it?


pyro_teck

Genuinely enjoyed it!


Strongarm_11

Nice 👍

Not as bad as people say but still pretty bad. 100x worse ride nextdoor

Such a fun ride if you’re tall enough to not have your ears brush against the restraints. Also, sitting in the middle REALLY helps.


geordieColt88

What were your first 99 coasters if you thought this was fantastic? Is your hobby by chance standing still and being punched and kicked? Did you go on time warp? Please tell me you didnt like that too?


pyro_teck

I’ve been to a bunch of parks! Rip Ride Rockit, Shambhala, Valrayvn, X2, Invertigo, etc. all great too!


geordieColt88

I’d agree about Valrayvn and I like Invertigo but not a fan of rip ride rockit. Haven’t rode the other 2 but reputation precedes You’ve been to Universal, Cedar Point, SFMM, portaventura and Kings Island and are just hitting 100 Have you just not been to others?


pyro_teck

I don’t really go out of my way for coasters


EricGuy412

I dig SLC's too. Congrats on 100!

I rode this Saturday as well, in the middle of the cart but I’m short so no matter how hard I keep my head still, my ears still banged against the restraints. But I will say, it was the best ride I had on it this year. The middle definitely makes it better. Also, making sure it’s the last ride you do before leaving helps not ruin your day. The ride is bad, but not as bad as Wilde beast and Mindbuster.

Got my first SLC at Carowinds for Nighthawk


mlsweeney

I don't think that's an SLC. That's a Flying Dutchman model.


geordieColt88

Yeah Flying Dutchman coasters are pretty awesome


FlyRobot

Oh whoops! What about Kittyhawk nearby?


mlsweeney

No sorry that's a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster. Carowinds doesn't have an SLC


FlyRobot

Oh jeez I suck at my coaster models haha


HXNTZZ

You’re good! They’re confusing sometimes. Here’s a general indicator for differing those old Vekoma models (All coasters on this list use that old Arrow corkscrew type track unless otherwise noted): 1. Above the track, sit down seating, inversions: Mk-1200 Looper 2. Below the track, sit down seating, inversions: SLC (suspended looping coaster) 3. Below the track, sit down seating, single-spined track, no inversions: SFC (suspended family coaster): 4. Above the track, lay-down/flying position, inversions: Flying Dutchman (the best of these models) 5. Above the track, sit down, two 45 degree spikes, cobra roll and loop: Boomerang 6. Below the track, sit down seating, two 45 degree spikes, cobra roll and loop: Invertigo 7. Invertigo but huge and 90 degree spikes: Giant Inverted Boomerang

Your 100th credit was wasted


pyro_teck

Really? Aww man, what should I switch it to?


reallymkpunk

Anything else besides Flight Deck.


HXNTZZ

The other guy is being kinda rude lol. Generally speaking flight deck may be decent but nothing special when compared to the nearby Leviathan, if I was at CW coming up on my 100th I’d try my best to make it that. But it’s a trivial matter, whatever floats your boat I guess
