What's your favorite Flat ride?
eddie200330 replied to FlyingScooter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Got a chance to experience a Rock O Plane for the first time this summer(I am 38), and I believe I can rank it up there with the Zipper for most awesome flat ride. -

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Kingdom Coaster at Dutch Wonderland. This thing carries some good speed and is surprisingly good for a kiddie/junior coaster. Courtesy park index -

Those grassy areas don't exist. The may be put there in the future, but for right now it is all blacktop. -

But it's not a parking lot coaster...... In one of the pics there are supports and track going over the lot. -

Quite Honestly I can't begin to imagine the mass confusion of people at the front gate the first few weeks this is open. Frontier Trail will be dead now. I also think this is quite possibly the tackiest location of a big ride I have ever seen. It reminds me of the Wally World sign when they first get there in Vacation.Oh, and no one has bitched about the parking lot coaster at CP?? -

When I first seen the teaser pics this is what popped into my head.It is faster than an Avalanche, but doesn't really tie into the other 2.... -
As far as I heard (and it's all third-hand info so take it was a grain of salt), Hercules had a TON of construction defects; the builders took a lot of shortcuts, made a lot of design errors, and used a lot of inferior materials, and the poorly built coaster ended up tearing itself apart to the point that it wasn't really going to be feasible to keep it in good repair no matter what they did. The fact that they had to add brakes on the first drop (ugh) just to keep the first fast corner from tearing apart definitely supports that. I only rode that coaster once, after it had deteriorated quite a bit, and it is VERY solidly in last place on my entire list; it's the only coaster I've ever refused to ride a second time. After the braked first drop the train just kinda crept around the rest of the course. Sometimes I wondered if we would make it back to the station. Also there is a photo that shows the first turn having been modified with original footers still there. Can't seem to find it now.

That sucks... I hope they get it back up by then! I for one would like to know just what exactly happened. I've tried searching a few local newspapers and some other places and come up empty?? Must not have been that bad........ -

"Unfortunately I was too dizzy from previously ridden flat rides to take a ride on Crazy Train. But just watching it, it spins ridiculously fast! Anyone care to share their experience on one of these? It looks wild!" To be honest, it doesn't ride anything like it looks. It sounds really clunky and almost feels like it is actually crawling along the track. The rotating track really isn't noticeable when you are on board. -

Just go and do what comes across your path. Jumping from here to there will only cause you to miss out on the little things that so often go overlooked at the parks.Take the time to look around and see all there is. If you are doing the preview plus the next day you will have more than enough time to "do it all". -

For a moment, I will pretend CP is getting something better than a BM wing-rider. Well they said they weren't giving it away easy.....so maybe the newspaper report was just a big hoax?? -
