Yes, GeForce does look exhilarating! We've had numerous discussions here about that odd piece of gray track...

Expedition is a lil short, but I have heard it's the #1 Intamin.I think it could use 3 trains, though.No MCBR!

EGF is a bit short, but it is enough to be no1 Steelcoaster in this years steel coaster poll. You couldn't use 3 trains on EGF, because it only has 3 blocks. The station, the lift and the final brakes. If EGF had a blockbracke, you could use 3, but most of the time 2 are sufficient, EGF had to have a totally different layout with a blockbrake and that wouldn't be that much fun and last but not least: The crew at the Holiday park is that slow that they would produce total chaos, if they had to handle 3 trains.

Coasterlander, I thought there were two block brakes during the ride, but they don't slow it down much. Now, I haven't ridden the ride, but in NoLimits re-creation, there are two blocks. One is before the final two bunny hops, and one more in a different spot (not sure how to describe it) Either way it doesn't matter because I'm sure it runs fine with just two trains. Oh, yah, the ride was number one this year in that internet coaster poll (as mentioned above). Now I just have to get myself out to germany to ride it.

Oh yes, there are 2 brakes, but they are both only trim brakes and not blockbrakes. Those couldn't stop the train due to them working on magnetic Induction. I hope you know what I mean. They only can reduce the speed what is not really necessary in my opinion, but they do. The first trim is recognizable (new word created??) but the second before the last bunny hops is unrecognizable.

Merry Christmas

I meant by short on the heigth side.Not even a true hyper, but it's beter them most if not all.The coaster could use 3 trains if they had designed it right, but 3 trains does not require a MCBR.Now look at MF, or some beemas.It's all good, though.

It may not be a true hyper, but look at Goliath at SFH. That coaster looks amazing. That and EGF are the two Intamins I have been dying to ride since I first saw them. I would pay to get one of those junior hypers like these at my homepark.

That is pretty amazing. Over here, they take out all of the trees and add some puny ones once the contruction is over.

I have two complaints about EGeF. It's acrossed an ocean I will probably never cross, and even if I get over there it's seatbelts are too short for me.

look at rcdb. It basically turns 90', over an airtime hill, overbank 180' (now going back where it came from) over a small hill round some bends and light banking, back towards the first overbank two more hops into the brakes. its only 4200ft long i think.
