| | | Need help w/ stats project!!!
Hey, I'm doing my statistics project on the correlation between speed and height of a hypercoaster and how friction factors in from designer to designer. I have most of my stats, but I need the following:
-Drop length of Expedition GeForce
-Angle of descent of S:ROS (SFNE)
-Angle of descent of Nitro (I'm guessing it's 65)
-Angle of descent of SD2K, Mamba, Wild Thing, and Steel Force
-Angle of descent of Titan (SFOT)
-Angle of descent of Phantom's Revenge
-Angle of descent of Steel Phantom
Thanks for your help! I'll be sure to report my findings on the TRUE smoothest manufacturer when I'm done!

| | | Ok, I Can help you w/ those.
Titan drops at 61*
Nitro Drops at 68*
SROS drops at 78*
SD2k and all of the other rides that you mentioned w/ SD drop at 65*
EGF has a drop 196'
Phatom Revenges drops at 50* and I'm pretty sure that Steel Phantom dropped at the same degree. That takes care of all of the questions you asked.

| | | Superman: ROS (SFNE) is 78 degrees. I am pretty sure, but not positive. |

| | | Actually Steel Dragon 2000 is 68°
and Nitro isn't 68°, it's 66°
Titan (SFoT) is 61° |

| | | Thanks! And yes, I just searched Bob's book, and found that Nitro is 66 degrees.
A few comments:
-So Goliath and Titan are the same steepness? I have Goliath listed at 61 degrees as well.
-Does EGF have a tunnel? Because it's height is listed as 188'.
-Steel Phantom's large drop is the drop I wanted, just to clarify... is it still only 50 degrees?
Thank you guys so much!

| | | Yes, Goliath and Titan are the same in all excluding Titan's extra helix.
No, I don't believe EGF has a tunnel. It may be set on uneven terrain though, allowing the drop to achieve its 200+ mark.
And yes, the big kahuna on Phantom's Revenge and the past Steel Phantom is sloped at 50°
And on a side note, I also believe that Mamba, Wild Thing, and Steel Force have a first drop sloped at 60°, like the Magnum XL-200. However, they for sure do not even come close to 65°.

| | | Hey, I'm not sure if those stats were right, but here's where I got them from [url]http://coasternet.coasterpagecannotbedisplayed.net/[/url] I'm pretty sure they are right, but you never know.
