Do you get a sense that you are going to get flung out of the car? It looks pretty precarious from a seating standpoint. -

Relocated Older Roller Coasters
eddie200330 replied to Jackdude101's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I believe the Wild One has been altered too much to consider it anything other than just a coaster. Now from what I understand the Phoenix and Skyliner coasters have been pretty kept intact as their original selves. As for steel coasters, it is pretty easy to just pack them up and move them so I see no real discussion on those. -

If I remember from past employment, they already do this. Plus I don't think alot of people know about the "back" way in and out..... -

One thing to keep in mind is all of the traffic lights in town. They can't all stay green to let traffic flow freely down 250 towards the turnpike. Every time a light turns red....traffic stops, thus causing the back-ups and delays. Once you re off of park property, they have no control over what happens to the flow. Like somewhere I read a bit ago, it is kinda like a concert or sporting event. If you ain't in a hurry, hang out and wait a while....or stay on site and you don't have to deal with it. -

Love the undulating, straight-forward hills, and seems twice as nice in the dark. from Park Index/Griffon -
Best Coaster Layouts
eddie200330 replied to Randomman295's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I rode it a few times, but am having trouble remembering why it was bad. I thought it "worked" but maybe because I was young and it was still a new concept???? I don't really remember it being rough, but maybe if it was designed as an invert it would probably be even more awesome! Can someone jog my memory and tell me why everyone hated it...... -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

Going back and watching the video I can't help but wonder if some of the rides featured in it will be making some sort of comeback, like the Apple Turnover and Monster. It just says something along the lines of reintroducing old theming and a few more surprises. Will be interesting to see what they have in store. Would love to see a repaint of Rebel Yell back to the shiny red, white, and blue it used to be. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread

I only see a seat belt.....I was interested more in the padding on the sides and how well they (trains) handle the transitions and such. I like the way the Avalanche at KD rides and this looks pretty similar. -

Really liking the looks of the trains....anyone able to comment on how they ride. They look quite comfy!! -
Knoebels Discussion Thread

From the pic posted it looks like a scale at each gate so I am hoping that is a per "car" rule. If not they would never be able to fill a 3 car train with under 400 unless they were all kids.Plus from the shape and size of the car, I think it might be kinda hard for someone of a really "large" stature to even get in and out. -

So 3 considering the group of people who will be at the park this weekend. And if there is a total weight restriction per train, then it might only be 1! SMH......... -

Exactly, this sounds like a Skyrush train for the giga coaster, meaning it's hopefully Intamin. And I'd say 310-315 feet is more like 95 mph. Unless it doesn't feature a "drop" that big. Just because it is 300 foot tall doesn't mean it has to have a 300 foot drop.......just sayin'. -

What exactly is about them that makes them "umentionable"? I don't think I'm familiar. Also, 100th post. Heh. I can't mention it...... -

I hate to ask the redundant question, but are Saturday's for Haunt, mainly late October, really bad crowd wise? 10:30 - midnight makes for lots of time and quite frankly with junior in tow the mazes and such will be hit or miss anyway. I would prefer to spend the time riding anyway. What are lines like for the rides after the sun goes down? -

Not necessarily breaking news or anything, but according to a certain unmentionable facebook group....Storm Runner is getting a fresh paint job. They had pics posted to show the work going on..... -
Best first drop on a steel coaster?
eddie200330 replied to CPmillenia94's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Please don't shoot or hate, but I really like the Togo stand-ups in the back row. Good airtime and standing up makes it kinda freaky.
