Part of me kind of hoped VC would still be better but OTOH, says quite a lot if this is better.
OK, now I've seen a couple of people I know say it was better then Velocicoaster. I can't wait to ride and compare for myself.
Is that a crop top you're wearing? No?Well I see IG has the undressing characteristics as SV lol
I about lost my shirt on SV and I will gladly surrender it to IGWell I see IG has the undressing characteristics as SV lol
That's a very interesting thoughtFrom the POV it looks like unlike Veloci, IG spends far more time trying to throw you out. I'm really interested in riding it myself at some point but is that one of the things that makes it jump so highly to the top of the list between the two? I guess another way to put it: it seems like IG's entire thing after the lift hill is sort of like the last portion of VC, just stretched out over the entire coaster rather than as a finisher (not 1:1 but I think you know what I mean).
RMCs certainly hit differentNot surprised it’s better than Velocicoaster, it’s an RMC.

I feel like some Intamins give RMC a run for their money
However, RMC's are still by far my favorite
I think it's quite easy to compare and contrast as they share a lot of elementsVelocicoaster will always have the theming advantage over IG, but the actual ride on IG could easily be superior.
This is why all of people's coaster rankings are so subjective. How do you compare a highly themed ride experience (but a mediocre coaster) to a great coaster with minimal or no theme elements. Not that I'm saying Velocicoaster is mediocre, but when you look objectively at rides like Big Thunder or Everest (which are mediocre to pretty lousy but well themed) how do you compare them?
I think for most of the general public Velocicoaster would win against IG in a head to head competition, but for coaster fans IG would be the choice.
For what it’s worth, I’m 6’0, 235-ish pounds, and I’ve got fairly comfortably on many RMCs, which have very similar seating. Twisted Colossus, Lightning Rod, Goliath are the more recent ones I’ve been on.If someone here has ridden IG, can you please give me some info about the test seat and how the actual ride seats fit a rider?
I am bigger (6'1 280ibs) so I think I may have to starve myself in order to ride, lol.
