One of the main issue's with the PMBO rough-ness is due to the wind, Blackpool suffer's from extremely high wind's, couple that with a stripped down mine train car that is only a chassis and a fibre glass shell - you have serious buffeting problem's, the wind resistance usually wont affect a large, heavy car, where as the PMBO train's only wiegh nine and a half ton's (which is light for a coaster train, B&M seven row Inverter car's weight double that, so they suffer a great deal from the wind.
Ofcourse, the ride itself would'nt be glass smooth in a windless environment, but the difference would be noticable, but personally, I like the ride, it does'nt blow you away, but it's a good fun ride, plus the drop is a great start to the ride.
Shame about the brake run before the helix though, stupid crash! :oops:
