Best Dark Roller Coaster?
thrillrideseeker replied to drewelap's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me it's a toss up between Rockin' Roller Coaster, and Revenge Of The Mummy (USO) both such great rides in my opinion. ~Matt -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
thrillrideseeker replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast. About 30 seconds ago. Amazing!! ~Matt -
When I went last year, I do not know if I was just there on a bad day, but the rides that were closed were... - Mr. Freeze - Batman - Flashback - Judge Roy Scream - La Vibora - Shock Wave - And NTG (aside from the last hour the park was open) - A countless amount of flats... To think... I bought a platinum flash pass to be able to use it on three rides... Superman Tower Of Power, Titan, and Runaway Mountain. Like I said maybe I just found the park on a really bad day. However as far as temps go... Riding Titan while it was chilly outside was strange... But it was actually kind of nice. Usually you are on coasters in the heat of summer, but something about riding them when cold was just... different. You will be all bundled up, nose running, but having a blast! I suggest going regardless of the ride being open or not. Even only being able to ride a few rides it was still a some what enjoyable trip. ~Matt

CARS! The Car Super Thread
thrillrideseeker replied to Jordan Shankman's topic in Random, Random, Random
I saw this car next to my job, and I had to take a picture and share it with you all. It is such a beautiful car!! I am jealous of the owner!!! ~Matt So beautiful!! -
Two rides that have scared me to death were X-Scream, and Insanity in Las Vegas. Both of those I swore if I made it off alive I would NEVER get back on them, So far I have done great at not getting back on them!! Aside from your normal roller coasters I hate heights, and dangling me over the edge of a 1,000+-ft tower is NOT my cup of tea. However I did fine on Skyjump Las Vegas!!! Ohhhh and drop towers .... I hate sitting at the top of drop towers waiting to drop... I can not stand the anticipation. ~Matt

Going Empty...
thrillrideseeker replied to Rocket Rodder's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As many others have said it does not bother me at all to hear/see an empty train on a coaster. I have seen it so many times over the years that its become normal. However it is always amazing to me to get to see empty coaster trains going through the course. Like many others have said it gives you a chance to really admire the ride with no distractions from people. Some of the sounds empty coasters make are simply amazing. ~Matt -
Favorite Coaster Sounds

I love the whine of Top Thrill Dragster/Kingda Ka launching. And love the sound when they hit the break run. ~Matt -

Reride Policy
thrillrideseeker replied to biker7766's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Magic Springs and Crystal Falls allows re-rides. I can not tell you how many times I have sat in the same seat on X-Coaster and gone around and around and around. The Gauntlet (as much as you don't want to ride more than once) they will allow you to re-ride as long as no one is waiting for your seat/row. Many times the ride ops have encouraged rerides at these attractions. Arkansas twister same way. If no one is waiting, don't get up. Walt Disney World has allowed me a re-ride on TOT. It was our 100th ride on the tower and they escorted us to an elevator, and plopped us out in the little boarding area where you pick a number to stand on. They then sent the ride with just the 4 of us. We got a "Magical Moment" certificate and free on-ride photos. But that was not a common experience. I've had VIP rerides at certain parks. Cedar Point being one of them. Also allowed re-rides on Titan at SFOT. Silver Dollar City never allowed re-rides when I was visiting though. Kennywood, Busch Gardens (both) Universal Orlando, SFOG, and Frontier City never allowed re-rides even if there was no one waiting for your row. Hope this helps your list a little. But like Robb said it is all depending on the ride op, and how busy the park is. ~Matt -

WOW!! This coaster looks amazing!!! Looks to be a great addition to the park! I can not wait to follow the construction of this!! ~Matt -
Time to bring back a half dead thread!! I have two shots of my newer tattoos that I wanted to share with you guys!! These tattoos are part of one large tattoo that will when finished reach from my heart, around my side, across my back, and down my arm. The reason behind these tattoos is not just because its a "good song" but the lyrics have so much more personal meaning. So after careful thought and planning I went ahead with it, can NOT wait till it is a finished product!! ~Matt --Not sure why the photos are so huge... I have them resized on my computer, and they are small when I open them, but then when I upload them they are GIANT! By far my favorite tattoo so far! LOVE this phrase!

Glad I got my last ride in on X-Coaster before I was relocated!! It was a fun little ride, but I can see why the park is removing it. There would be days I would go and I could just sit on the ride and ride it over and over and over, many times being the only one on it. It was one of those rides that many people rode once, and got off saying "Never again" It seems to have become a bit more rough in time. Even more so in the back seat going into the dive. Not to mention how uncomfortable the restraints became after the ride cycle. I am glad to see the park making a smart move in removing an attraction to bring more to the waterpark. The waterpark had a nice mix, but something new is needed!! Can not wait to see what they have in store!! ~Matt
