Dollywood Discussion Thread

What is this proving other than I was able to experience a coaster, that had 38% downtime in 2016, multiple times and as recent as 2019? That data doesn't mean a damn thing bro lol. -

Lol c'mon now, it was more reliable than that lol. I was able to ride it several times over the years and I only made one trip a year to the park. -

I don't think this is an event for "us" so you may not hear much noise about it here. -
Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread

Which is why I said I haven't been following the project. I have no idea about the things you mention, hence my question. -

Curious, why would you think it would mean losing the vertical drop? -

It seems GotG is getting a lot of flack on social media (particularly twitter). I admit, I haven't been following this project but is the only thing semi-groundbreaking is the controlled spinning? Did this thing really cost 500 million (as it has been said on social media)? -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
jarmor replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So, I think i'm going to burst my HWN cherry next year and finally take the trip (before I get too old). I've never did a several day coaster event so I have no idea what to expect. I've also never been to Holiday World so I really don't know what to expect. Any tips, suggestions? -

I swear, that would make the ride 10 times better! I wonder what track work could be done? There is quite a bit of shuffling after the vertical drop. -

You mean like this. . . (pssst, all wooden coasters run on steel rails, well, with the exception of the flying turns) Also, who would have thought the first RMC coaster to get the RMC treatment would have been Lightning Rod lol lol. -
Actually, track is not all over the Jurassic area. While in the land, the track is confined to a paddock. Inside the paddock, rockwork hides a majority of the track from view and you only have a couple spots to "view" through the paddock. The coaster is no more jarring (inside Jurassic Park) than the JPRA building. Even the track on the coast of the Jurassic area was designed in a way to be low to the ground and not foreboding in the other lands. It does not obstruct the view of the visitors center and it's black so it's not jarring or contrasting against the trees. This is all coming from actually seeing it in person.

I saw earlier someone asked if the water park was going to open, I "hear" none of the cedar fair water parks will be opening this season. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread
jarmor replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, the parks is already open about 10 months out of the year so they are pretty much at year round operations. I wonder how that would effect new rides debuting? -
For me, the best paramount rides wer the water parks! They really did expand and build up the water park offerings at all of their parks.

what tf is a "wing over"
jarmor replied to charles.hunter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Wing over = Batwing. Banshee's is not typical. It enter/exits over and under vs side by side. Flat spin = corkscrew. It is also an air maneuver on planes, which some inverted coasters elements come from.
