Megastructures mess up.
neovortex2k replied to neovortex2k's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ok The may have said closed curcuit as i'm at home sick with a cold and needed to blow my nose and could have missed. I'm sorry they never showed The Escape after mentioning it and SFMM but they definitly showed Ultimate Flight. I watched it no less than an hour ago.I am in Ireland but i doubt they'd change the episode. -
I just finished watching a National Geographic special on Kingda Ka under the title of Megastructures. 1. They said that Millenium Force was that fastest coaster built when it was built in 2000 when Superman The Escape was. 2. When they mentioned Superman The Escape at SFMM they showed a clip of Superman:Ultimate Flight instead of Escape. What a mess up by National Geographic all be it kinda small they are still suppose to professional.

Roller Coaster Break Downs
neovortex2k replied to coastermaniac's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've been stuck on the hulk, big thunder mountain paris and on the fire coaster of DD. On the hulk it was just after the launch, it jumped forward and than slammed on the brakes. We had to climb off and walk down the stairs. It was quite scary when the harness came up and we had to walk across the whole train to climb down the stairs on the right. I was afraid it would launch and i'd be thrown off. On BTM we were just stuck in the station for 20 minutes but we got 2 laps. On the fire coaster it was at the station after completeing the circuit we were waiting for the train ahead to leave the station so we could complete the brake run but we were stuck there after the train left the station for an hour. -
Ever had a black out on a coaster?
neovortex2k replied to Dark Vampire's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah on the hulk, my second ever coaster with inversions. It happened just befor the loop and woke up just as we pulled into the station. I get grey outs a lot though now! -
Parks Coasters and Rides in Movies and TV
neovortex2k replied to spike's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
In England there was a tv show called Pleasureland and it was a drama based on the Pleasureland Southport Amusement park. www.rcdb.com/pd271.htm -
I Never ever talk to people in the queuecause I think its a bit rude just cause your in a close confined space. Would you do it in an airport or bank??I wouldn't. But I hate it more when they start talkin to you. No offence to anyone here but i just got back from my trip to Italy and we went to Gaardaland and in the queue for magic mountain these american backpackers start talkin to us and when we said we were from Ireland they went mad and start goin on about priest and religion and the green hills!!The fact that i'm an Atheist never came into it I just wanted to hit them and tell them to feck off. In saying that one year we were queing for X and i noticed my best friend from primary school that I hadn't spoke to in 8 years ahead of us.Small world.

Anyone else notice the tracks all look to be the same shape?! p.s. how long does a coaster need to be operating or operated in a year to hold a record? -

If i remember correctly that building is where the Corfu resturaunt was! On the site it says: WARRIOR OF THE DAWN Live adventures filled with emotion with digital technology and get a taste of a virtual world in the greek simulator!! Maybe this is the new ride or is this going somewhere else do you know??!! www.terramiticapark.com/en/index.htm?EN -

neovortex2k replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe inversions. The only reason i say 130mph is to have a new record breaker but if not maybe 11 inversions coaster?! Also I think the station may be the footers on the right and it dips and turns left to go up a lift hill!! Just a thought. I don't know the layout or where the footers are so I dont know if it's viable -

I know people are gonna crucify me and i know the whole aquatracks thing has gathered real momentum but i think its gonna be a coaster like Rita:Queen of speed only it reaches like 130mph. Ok im ready for my verbal bashing! -
What do you hate most in a themepark?
neovortex2k replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I hate the fact that there is no theme parks in my country! But out of the list i had to pick closed attractions!If i travel all the way to a park and pay my money i expect the attractions to be operational! I went to Terra Mitica and there was no queue's and it was great first and second time round but after that we got sick of the rides and didn't really appriciate tem cause we didn't have to wait! -

I wolud love to see another B&M pop up but i doubt it. I'd say it will be a dueling coaster if not then maybe a big and small one! Maybe a colossus(thorpe park 10 inverter)copy?! -
