Another Raptor?!?!

I don't know if this is older than dirt, but I found this interesting.

It is an exact copy of Raptor!

Ya, Orochi.

It's been done, but still kinda...something to look at.

It is older than most topics, but you can't blame them for wanting the best B&M possible!

I remember there being another topic like this before. I don't know what we made of it. :S

Thats messed up. The jappinese are allways coping us.

That's what I thought when I found that. Honestly, B&M come up with some of/if not the best layouts in the world.

Why would you want to copy them? **cough**sixflags**cough**

Why would you want to copy them? Because, like you said, they are some of the best layouts in the world. Don't get all of your collective panties in a bunch. Does the fact that the Japanese Raptor exist make you enjoy CP's less? It doesn't when I ride it. It doesn't make me enjoy my rides on Batman The Ride at Great America any less even though I know there is one exactly like it just a state away, in New Jersey, California, two, yes two, in Texas, in Quebec, in Louisiana, and a few overseas, plus a few I probably missed in the states.

The ride stays the same, so why would it matter if another exists elsewhere? Maybe next we should all complain that maXair isn't unique to Cedar Point. Did you know that PKI has the same ride! That fact bothered me every time I rode it, so much that I didn't enjoy it! (Note that I was using sarcasm :) )

Japan..... If anything we copy them.

And if we start copying Japan's cars I might consider buying an American car again ;)

What is up with every coaster in Japan being white?

You mean like this one?

There not all white.. Titan.. the only other coaster that has magnum trains.. is green and red =(.

I know what Josh means. Many of the big coasters in Japan are white or gray.

This topic is brought up every year around the same time. And there's always a person who says that it's been brought up before. I guess it's me this time around. See you in 2007. :)

Save this topic, i'll just copy and paste the reactions.. :)

Orochi is modified slightly from Raptor. The biggest modification is the finale was changed to remove that head-slamming unbank into the brake run. The ending of Orochi doesn't have the quick change in track banking, so you don't bang your head.
