California Screaming is brilliant! I rode Rockin Roller Coaster by Aerosmith in Florida this year and it has the sMe countdown start, is good but not as good as California Screaming.

okay, let me just ask you something, a small compact coaster that can supply great leg-choppers all in an in-door air-conditioned enviornment, whith extra room for more themeing elements… or a large, bulky ride that will have to be place outside in the heat, as well as being too loud for the themeing to actualy be heard and more money to pay. Let's just face it, disney`s gonna pick vekoma, and that`s what i`ll vote because if they buy it, they will undoubtedly but the new vekoma trains added to Carolina Cobra two yares ago, a reason to find yourself in disney to coaster enthusiasts.

WHEN I RODE CALIFORNIA SCREAMIN LAST YEAR I WAS SO THRILLED BUT THE RESTRAINTS WERE A LITTLE WEAK TO HOLD ON THAT VERY LONG ROLLER COASTER.

Thank you for the kind words!

Nick: I agree that at times it is smooth to the point of forcelessness, but again, I see the intention of Disney on this one. A 'too smooth' ride is better than a bumpy one – especially at a Disney park.

Prof. BAM: The only reason I would lean towards B&M is the capacity. That's if that rumor has any credibility, and I personally don't think it does.

I'm surprised it wasn't a Vekoma. Most of Disney's major coasters that I can think of right now are Vekoma. One ride that I know isn't Vekoma is The Matterhorn which of course is Arrow. Disney has hinted rumors of a Monsters Inc. inverted coaster at MGM studios in WDW. Vekoma or B&M? I personally vote B&M.

I should be going on that this summer! Yay! Based on your review, I'm looking foward to it. By the way, that was a great review!

Great review, Jacob. I agree that California Screamin' provides a great backdrop the Paradise Pier area, and having the launch right next to the boardwalk makes it entertaining to watch as well as to ride.

The downside for me is that it is almost TOO smooth – it almost doesn't feel like being on a coaster at all at times. Having said that, rough coasters can be a nightmare so maybe I should be careful what I wish for…
