Traveling from South Carolina to New York...
jarmor replied to jarmor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
OMG!! I love that you have a sense of humor! We'll miss you by a bit yet again. One of these days we WILL hang out! You should see me after a few drinks lol! Well I went to great adventure and what an adventure it was! The first "adventure" was leaning on a ticket booth to only discover it was covered in wet paint...but no wet paint sign. So I politely grabbed the dudes from the lockers and advised him that wet paint signs would be greatly appreciated. I guess they thought I was gonna blow up and start apologizing but I told them im ok it only got on my arm and not my shirt. Man! are the park guest at that park overly rude!!! Complaining about not being able to go to kingda ka and having to wait until 1030. im like this...it was stated what time the park open so why act suprised when they GENEROUSLY let you in the gates before 1030 to get closer to kinda ka and you are stopped at the ribbon. Some people were calling security d!cks, assholes, and just being plan old rude. Then my second "adventure" pushed her way to the front of the crowd with her son demanding to get on kingda ka! Her reasoning was she is a season pass holder and they get to ride early. Then persist to point to an empty train exclaiming that riders were on it. Security told her that isnt this season. She then ask them how long they worked there because they maybe too new to know. Her son then told her he doesn't think they are doing it because if it were still a policy they wouldn't be the only season pass holders asking for it lol. She continued her rant and said she wanted to talk to guest services because it states it on the website. By this time my brother turns his back and starts laughing to himself. She then snaps at him and this is how the convo went... Her: What are YOU laughing at? Me: He's laughing at YOU making a fool over yourself after you have gotten your answer but still cant understand that that policy isnt here anymore and you wont let it go because you arent getting the answer you want! Now THATS what he is laughing at. Her (obviously upset at what I told her) goes on to call me an idiot and other stuff... Me: You can say what you want...I bet you wont get on kinda ka before 1030! Even your son understands! Now security is trying to cool everything down.... Her: You need to just mind your business! Me: If you werent soo loud I wouldnt have heard your business. And it doesnt matter what customer service tells you, they can tell you martians came and stole all season pass policies, you STILL gotta wait to ride! (mind you she showed up 5-10 minutes before 1030 anyway!) After that security intervined more and I kept on laughing and texting my friends about what just happen. Poor security,,,try to controll the crowd from running but everyone ran anyway. I just dont get it...it's not like the ride wont be open the entire day or something ? I walked and finally got to the line. Apparently this kids dad ran and left him and he was now behind me and he tried to go past me to get to his dad. My arm went to the bar and I told that little boy if he wanna ride with them they need to come BACK to him! It was soo funny when he dad asked him to come up there and he tried to say I wouldnt let him but he couldnt get his words out lol. Ok bout Kingda Ka...well it is my first accelerator coaster but honestly I wasnt impressed. Shaky launch, not much airtime. Basically lives up to the one trick pony it is. My brother was deathly scared to ride because he hasnt been to a theme park other than carowinds 6 years ago. I rode it again to make sure I wasnt being unfair but nothing changed...but it mananged to unbutton my shirt to the last button on both trips lol. After that we went over to Dark Knight. Man what a let down lol! Why is it soooo loud unreridable. It was basically a wild mouse in a box 1/3 themed...thats all im gonna say about that. Went to nitro after that and man, that ride is supreme! I already knew what to suspect but my brother didnt see the layout from the line. He nearly died lol. He said he would ride kinda ka again before he rides nitro lol. El Toro was down all day while I was there. The lines were awefully long the entire day for everything. I was really looking foward to el toro but I guess I will catch it another day... Thanks for reading. here are the pict's!! Cool looking coaster! Pretty animals,,, That looks soo much fun, I forgot medusa was in the park lol. another angle of it! the shot everyone has... Loop then BRAKES! Im soo crushed...it should have been me hit by the lighten...on second thought lol...nah! GEEZ LOUISE!!! it seems as if everyone in the park came over to this area. There he/she is and when I turned around from taking this shot I saw this... on the way to kingda ka waiting to get in the gates Told ya I would have had on bright colors! lots of red in this shot! The security driving made the dude move the cones by the entrance AND the cones by the car. He could have gotten his lazy ass out and move them! the gates! At this point I was soooo scared of that coaster another shot of it... I remember I use to be sooo excited about this coaster now im like...meh! Looks fun but i'll pass pulling up...first one there! -

Traveling from South Carolina to New York...
jarmor replied to jarmor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Thanks for the suggestions! You know what...dorney came to mine at first also but I thought meh. With all the flack hydra gets I didnt think anything worth while would be there. I have ridden the traveling version of laser uncountable times so nothing really changes with that lol. And besides im boycotting cedar UNfair ! It's been about 4 years since I rode the cyclone (matter of fact I was visiting my aunt and went to coney by myself lol). How is clementon? Im not a major credit whore so is there anything there worth while other than the coaster that changes it name every season? Im not really pressed for time per say...I was planning on getting on the road tuesday morning at like 130am and be at kings dominion by opening and stay till about 2 or so then its on the way to jamaica. I would probably have about another 6-7 hour drive ahead of me from that point. -
Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
jarmor replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kings dominion was always a good park to me! I thought it and carowinds had very similar attractions and offerings. And it still has a old time feel to it to me! But putting the wheel in the back of the park where there is nothing to look at?? -

Thanks for the feedback! I will be traveling to Jamaica NY. My primary choices from what you wrote would be BGW and great adventure. I haven't been to BGW ever and it's been a while since I been to great adventure (the year after nitro open!). Again thanks for the feedback and more is welcomed!! -
Interview with B&M
jarmor replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
a death is a death is the public eye...doesnt matter who's at fault. And agan that was one of those "random" things that had nothing to do with the interview...as well as X and other non B&M designs. -
Well, my aunt died and I figured I could use this road trip as way to hit up some parks going and coming. Unfortunetly I will be driving since a flight from columbia would be like 500-600. So I ask you guys do you know any parks in the path of my journey?? All I am aware of is Six flags America and Kings dominion. I wanna be able to hit a park going and hit a park coming back. All help and suggestions would be appreciated!

River runner...NL
jarmor replied to jarmor's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
It does in fact pack quite a punch! Anyway time for more screenshots!! The screen shots are starting to catch up with the progress of the coaster, which has me on the support work on the turn after the dive under the bridge! -

jarmor replied to sfkk339's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Good luck with the contest. They dont do too well around here. Just like thrillrideseeker said, alot of people are quick to say "sure count me in" but then they back out. Jarvis "done with NL contest at this site" Morant -
Hard Rock Park Vs. Dollywood
jarmor replied to jarmor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Bottom line the article writers are trying too hard to give HRP a name, a place among the top parks and think they can do that by comparing it to big name theme parks. But what they are doing is making the weakness of HRP shine thru more and more. I mean Thunderhead gets more riders in a day than HRP see's in a weeks time lately lol! -
NL: Fire Cracker
jarmor replied to sfkk339's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
keep on working on those coasters little buddy and you will one day soon make an awesome ride! -
While reading this... this blog post I decided to share this with you guys. I would love to see what some of you who have been to both parks have to say about the comparisons. While I have been to both parks in recent years, I personally feel there is no comparisons at all. Sure they are both theme parks but Hershend parks are in a genre of their own and HRP is, how I put it, in its planning stages but is currently open to the public (ie: price switching every month or so). So what do you guys think?

Thanks for the interest! Sad to say I cannot make objects. I get my objects from various coasters around the internet. -

Only if they are into P, M, or W. If you aren't into any of those, what a terrible accident. But PMW? fudge him, he deserved to die. Im really trying to hold back what I really wanna say but to say someone deserves to die should automatically revoke one's own air supply. Same scenerio both resulted in a death but only one "deserves to die". Jarvis "so glad people like you dont have any importance in this world" Morant.

Thanks for the comments guys! The more I see the more I work on the coaster lol. Anyway here are some more screenshots. I'm going for a theme on this coaster. The working name I have for it is "Hoot and Holler's Wild River Romp". Its set in the mountians and the Townfolks is gearing up for their annual innoventions fair. And Hoot and Holler (two cousins) are sure to be this years winner....more to come!
