RWT made an incredible recreation and in such a way that it revolutionized mechanical automation and has been an inspiration to many.

Shit, I knew it would come down to this... I need to think about it.

The fact that Corkscrew did have that working lift, but also a completely finished and automatic station made my decision. I feel like Diamondback was incomplete and Corkscrew made up for that difference, no matter the size they differ in.

I have watched the 'How it works' video of Corkscrew for at least twenty times in my life. I still do not fully understand how that coaster worked. I have built some big coasters and I know how hard it is to build a Diamondback-sized coaster. However, building automation like RWT did on Corkscrew is even harder. That is why Corkscrew got my vote.

Corkscrew still impresses me today. The automation on that thing is still really amazing.

I'm not done building yet.

For those who remember Aminspec, it should be clear why I enjoy Corkscrew. However, I've always been a fan of B&M, and Diamondback had the shaping down to a tee. Plus it's a beast. I remember watching the construction of DB, and being excited for each update. Gotta go with the feels, haha.

Wow, I am somewhat surprised! Corkscrew was a great model, but I felt Diamondback had more.

If there was any model I'd prefer to lose to, it'd be Corkscrew. An amazing model, and a well-deserved win for Trey!
