I had the Hellcat review all ready to go, so I published it. Krypton should be up within the next week or so.

That's my guess, anyway.

Krypton is gravity-powered like most coasters so I think miles per hour and g-forces do the trick.

Why don't they list that as a stat?

Don't you think that Superman Krypton Coaster might scare little kids on the carousel with its thunderous B&M roar, though? Still a great pic. Fiesta texas might be beautiful, but six flags great adventure is the best six flags. But i can understand great adventure isnt as nice looking as other parks. This may be due to so many people going there.

Thanks
