Baco is the only ride I've ever been on where I simply cannot understand why anybody likes it. Even with other rides I hate, I can just about see why someone else might like it. But Baco? Nope. I cannot logically process it. Does not compute.
Well I've ridden Furius Baco with 6 different people on different trips to PA over the years and 5 out of those 6 have loved it. And when I say loved, I don't just mean they've said it's good, I mean they've said it's amazing.
Almost everything about the ride is great and keeps me coming back. I love the constant acceleration, the intensity, the theming, the pre-show, even the ride's music is amazing. It's easily my favourite launch coaster in the world ahead of Stealth, Rita and of course Blue Fire.
And the argument that its launch isn't as powerful as Stealth's is irrelevant. It feels incredibly fast and intense throughout the ride, and if you enjoy it then you enjoy it. Why should you need to prove why you do?
I never like it when people try to argue that Baco or Stampida aren't good rides based on numbers, polls or statistics. If you enjoy the ride, why shouldn't you just cause it's got a slower launch than Stealth or because it's not rated as highly? Enjoyment is down to personal taste surely.
I really do think that for every person in the world who hates Baco there are at least 2 people who love it, proobably alot, lot more.
