Yep, it's totally true. Wicked Cyclone looks bonkers crazy (Twisted Colossus too), which will probably make for a fantastic ride. But again, the vast majority of Rocky Mountain's coasters just do not look like my kind of coaster. I'm willing to take some heat for "complaining" and willing to be proven wrong if I were to visit, but if I were to choose a "must ride" coaster based on looks and reactions alone it would still be Bizarro.

I think that you might be talking about Space Odyssey at Delgrosso's. -

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone likes roller coasters. Also contrary to popular belief, some people like zoos. -
Romon World to open in China
A.J. replied to _koppen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not sure what's inside the castle, but Lotte World has a super-huge shopping mall on the lower floors with an ice rink, sort of how there are shops and stuff surrounding the big rink in New York City. -

That would make sense but the Reese's - Hershey Bar - Twizzler -Jolly Rancher height system has really worked well for them. I can't think of any attraction at Hersheypark that doesn't follow that system off the top of my head. -

That's a little strange. Maybe they're going to put new trains on Lightning Racer? They only recently switched out the front grates and lap restraints for new ones, maybe new trains are next? -

The "2015" overlay? Sure. But the image behind the overlay looks like an official ride logo. -

Thanks dude, I'll consider it! Also thanks to the TPR social media feeds, I'm even more excited for my visit tomorrow! Does the central hub construction impede on fireworks / projection show / paraade viewing at all? -

I would agree with that, Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge is a pretty fun shooting dark ride but it really looks cheap. Laff Track looks better but it also looks like the thematic elements were made by the same people. -

I don't remember the height restriction for these coasters, but if they let the Reese's height category ride Laff Track with a responsible rider, it will be a HUGE hit with families! -
Okay, awesome! The only coaster where I would really really like to ride in the front seat is Alpengeist because I don't like riding in further-back rows on inverted coasters. And even if there are designated rows, I'm willing to wait a few minutes for a three-person party in the front rows to join in as a single rider... Thanks guys! I'm going in on a Saturday in September so it might be worth the extra cash...

ONLY about $40 a person?!? Yeah, I had a FP+ for Space Mountain (it's my favorite attraction in Magic Kingdom) later in the afternoon, but I was able to flip it to the morning with no trouble! I love the new system already! -

Undertow at Santa Cruz moves 900 PPH, Spider at Lagoon and Steel Dragon at Waldameer both move 930. -

The "more" comes from creating a full, immersive experience around the coaster. -

It's an off-shelf Maurer SC2000. Like Steel Dragon at Waldameer. -

Oh, I forgot about Tornado! That would be awesome if they built a crazy spinning coaster like that! -

That is an absolutely huge deal but it's not really a mechanical problem. -

Maybe not a spinning mouse, but one of these?
