Apollo is good not because of the layout or forces, but because of its terrain usage and scenary imo. It is a pretty week hyper, but it is beautiful.

'Terrain usage, scenery, beautiful'... Yes.

Forces: Some might say "just right"... not too extreme, not too weak.
Layout: Classic design. Best steel out-and-back coaster ever? Very well paced.

Sorry. I don't read Japanese. I assume it says "Apollo's Chariot & Drachenwolf are the awesomest".
Why thank you!

Look @Drachenwolf, your opinions aren't actually all that innovative here. Most people would actually agree with you if you tempered your rhetoric just the tiniest bit. Posts like the one I quoted above are just so goddamn obnoxious and abrasive though that it makes your otherwise relatively reasonable positions come off as rude and disruptive. Just food for thought for the future.

With that said...

I do not require approval or agreement for dropping more of my unpopular 'innovative opinion' such as the following...

Apollo's Chariot > MMXX > 2021... which won't be and wasn't going to be a giga.

Well I sincerely hope that the other people reading this (and any other thread) recognize that no one should ever trust anything that comes out of the mouth of a person who is comfortable adjudicating facts without an ounce of actual evidence or critical thinking behind said judgement.

That post did not have anything to do with Apollo's Chariot!

Sorry, but I am a bit worried and I was wondering if any of you knew if BGW does any water testing of the ravine Apollo drops into on the first drop. Some of the splash went up and into my nose, and I am concerned about bacteria/amoeba. Sorry again for how this comes across, but I guess you can never be too safe.
 
I'm not sure that I've ever heard or seen any splash on Apollo before. They have the water cannons but those shouldn't be formed in a manner that the water hits you...

But to answer your question they do. And honestly it depends on how you got wet. If it was from the water cannons then that water should be coming from the water supply so it would be safe. If it's from the Rhine somehow that water certainly gets tested because the park would need to monitor the runoff from the drains in the park that go to the Rhine. Also I think they need to ensure it's safe for the Rhine River cruise to operate

Oh ok, I'm not sure if it's part of the Rhine or not, though, but that's what I assumed. I got wet by sitting in the first row, and as the train completes the first drop, it goes into that huge lake and along the tracks it kicked up the surface water into a spritz, kind of like at the end of Griffon. Thank you for the info

I'm not sure that's possible. I'm not disputing that water sprayed into your face in some manner. But the train and the track are well above the water and make zero contact with it at any point. If the train had hit water then it likely would not have had enough momentum to carry it over the second hill. It's possible there was rain water or the cannons misfired and wind blew it into the train.

I really do agree with your post, as I have been on Apollo's Chariot several times and never felt water spritzed at my face like that on this ride, it was totally unexpected. It was a sunny day (yesterday), so I'm sure it isn't rain water. To be honest, I really hope it is the cannon water as that water would definitely be cleaner, but I am not sure where the rapids are in relation to the track at that point. I was sitting in the rightmost seat so I don't know.
