What Roller Coaster are you?
neovortex2k replied to l3ite_me1313's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm on fire as Volcano: The blast coaster Feel the Burn -
I was there last summer and i have mixed feeling about the park!This park is all about theming. It has 2 ok water rides a log flume and big drop one with large boats, they are very well themed but quite tame. They have a Men in black style ride which is ok but again all about themeing. The frisbee in my opinion is the best ride there it's absolutely amazing. Thw wooden rollercoaster is good but short.I generaly don't like wooden caosters but as it makes up a third of this parks coasters you get to appriciate it. Another coaster is an inverted coaster and is just another clone and hurts like hell!!Very intense on the head bangin, however you get an amazing felling during the first inversion if sitting up the front. The other coaster is a kiddie powered one but gets good speed and if rode during the night gives a great view of Benidorm and the coast as it is on the edge of a cliff! The drop tower is brilliant and also gives great views and again great with the theming. There is also other attractions that you have to pay for, my advice is skip the show and pay the extra €5 for the pryamid of Terror.it's well worth it you will wet your pants much much better than the mummy returns in Hollywood. When we were there there was no queue's and we did to laps of the park in 2 hours.I love parks and reriding rides but i found my self get very fed up with this park very quiclky, my advice would be to buy the eveing ticket for 5 hours for €13.Best €13 you will ever spend.

Have you ever gone to a park alone?
neovortex2k replied to arlen23's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When I was in florida in 2002 I ewent with my mate who is also a bit of a coaster fanantic but after 10 dats straight he had to have a day off so I went back to Busch Gardens on my own! I have to say I really enjoyed it.It was great because after riding a coaster I got straight back on it and did it again but in a different row until I had done them all and didn't have to worry about any1 else! I also rode them in different ways, like i read on this website one time, like turning my head backwards,turning to the side, looking at my feet and looking at the sky to get a different ride experience.I have to say it's brilliant you get a differnt ride each time. I did miss him a little though as i'm not used to not saying anything for 10 hours straight. -
I rode in in 2003 and good god i got the hell shaken outta me! The only good part of that ride is the half in-line twist into the half loop as you are upside down for quite a bit before you actually drop. Other that that I don't like it. Did feel a bit like I was on a wooden coaster

The thing with WT and TTD is like the thing in SFMM when they only habe one or the other open but never the two on the same day. I think the 2007 project will be major!Probably deuling to beat SFMM to the 18 coaster record but thats it!I doubt they'll go for height, spped or anythin like that!Maybe some new inversions but i don't wanna pick a type of coaster just yet. Maybe like SFMM superman. P.s. I do wish it was a 5oo footer! -
Definitly Temple Del Fuego!!!!Pure brilliant

Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
neovortex2k replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ok i think that this will not be launched!It will have a lift hill but different from X. When loading X the track is underneath the car but i think that the track will already be inverted in the station.I have edited a pic and reloaded it to help my theory. The reason i think this is i believe the footers makered in yellow will be the lift hill with the pink being the station.there is very little space to climb so i'd say the station will be raised. This will facilitated not having to flip the cars at the top of the hill so they can just drop straight off the hill! Also if you look at the green circle at the top you can see where the track joins the support and there is no room to flip the car so this also supports (no pun intended) my theory. CAn't wait to see what you guys think and you never know maybe loadind on an inverted station could be quicker than the track below the car.Could be a quirk S&S have worked out! Oh and they could use the loading stations for Flying, Inverted or Floorless coasters for my inverted theory. Enjoy, love to see what you think! P.s. i blame Six flags for X not being as big as it could have been! -

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Tizona in Terra Mitica-Benidorm-Spain Vekoma enough said! -
I went to Universal Studios IOA is September 2002 with my best friend and it was his first theme park and roller coaster so i decided to take him on the hulk!! After watching it run a couple of times he was really psyched about going on it so we got in the queue and climbed aboard when i t arrived in the station. This was also my first coaster in 7 months so i was really excited too¬! Everything seemed normal as we were going up the hill and we were all geared up for the launch then it came the sudden lurch forward but as soon as it came it went and we ground to a sudden halt. The coaster had broken down. We were left sittin there for 15 minutes before someone came up to us to escort us off. Now for the scary part. For those of you that have been on the hulk you know how steep the launch tube is and i was sittin on the far left of the coaster. So when the attendent opened my harness and ushered me out of the coaster on the right hand side i was very apprihensive of standing up and walking over in case it shot out but i knew it wouldn't. Accidents do happen. anyway that was my scary 20 minute hulk ride! p.s. those stairs make you very dizzy walkin back down to the platform!

Alton Towers Discussion Thread
neovortex2k replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
i haven't seen the film yet because it's not out over here for another 3 days but i imagine it to be maybe like a reverse tower of terror but with glass on all side's (obviously) and some sort of screens to project the flying image's onto! -
Hey ok after dodling about a few other site's and a bit of my own investigation i wanna put forward a theroy: 1. definitly a ride as you can clearly see Q BLDG and Q WLKWAY in some photo's 2. i think it's going to be a flying B&M 3. The colour scheme will be orange. 4. it may or may not involve the removal of OE as it can easily fly close to it without it needing to be removed and to increase excitement 5. Flashback will be the ride to be removed 6. drawing your attention to picture # 25 I think to L2R could mean load to ride.If i knew there was the posibility of a station or even a second loading station as in l2r i could be wrong!it's a lot less obvious than writing STATN. Well anyway thats my 2 cents.Feel free to say what you want as this is just a andtheroy and has absolutely no evidence whatsoever!!!!

Hey i've been to SFMM twice only in Septmeber and both times rode X like 6 times and i heav a question. Do they ever run more than 1 train? Everytime i was ther ethe reason for the queue being so big was the fact that only 1 train was runing!

yeha I'd rather have 16 coasters that all work than 17 with 3 or 4 down constantly!
