What's your favorite Flat ride?
snoodog replied to FlyingScooter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Really, I like Skyhawk at Cedar Point. It is just insane but it over in less than a minute. I also like Huss Top Spins, Huss Troika, and w/e their called. Magic Carpets? -
It was my birthday on June 10 so we took a trip Myrtle Beach, SC vacation and I got an annual pass and stopped by for three days. Led Zeppelin is awesome. Not my favorite coaster, but in South Carolina it is the best. It is fairly intense. Not as intense as say Kumba, but more intense than most other B&M sit-downs. It has a bit of head banging, but it is still fun. The trim brake after the cobra roll is barely turned on which is good, but the MCBR is too powerful. It might need to be broken in. I rode this 15 times. The pre-show gets kind of boring after seeing it 2 times. Eagles: Life in the Fast Lane is the best Mine Train I have been on. It is rather smooth for a Vekoma, but still has its rough spots. No waits at all, so I rode this 24 times. Shake, Rattle, and Roller Coaster is a fun, little coaster. I am six foot four inches so both times I got stuck in the restraint. It has nice theming for a coaster that small. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for Maximum RPM to be open but it looked interesting. Slippery When Wet is a fun inverted water coaster. Not near as good as RollerSoaker or Super Saturator, but it is fun. I barely got wet but still something fun to do when your at the park. NOTE: Lines are long... With slow dispatch plus low hourly capacity and it being 100 degrees outside, lines will get long. Magic Mushroom Ride is a fun flat ride. It is a Huss Troika I believe. London Cab Ride makes you sick just looking at it. It looks like a Huss Breakdance but IDK. It is a whirl and hurl flat ride. All the King's Horses is the standard Merry-Go-Round. The Punk Pit is a bouncy thing like you rent for kids parties. Nights in White Satin- The Trip is the most awesome dark ride I have been on! It is just amazing, black lights everywhere, and 3-Deeeeeeeee! It is a great song and really is a must ride. Bad:( They need more water rides. Maybe a log flume and a river rapids ride. It is 100 degrees in South Carolina, so a water park thingy and a barely wet water roller coaster isn't enough. More flat rides. Mushroom, Cab Ride, and Merry-Go-Round isn't enough. Get a 160ft. tall Intamin Drop Ride or a S&S Double Shot. Maybe a scrambler and pirate ship and also a enterprise and a top spin. Those would make the place better. Just a Swinging is cool. It is a swing ride. Sorry. Not many pictures at all... ADMIN EDIT: Two mods have now had to edit your post to fix spelling, grammar, and formatting problems. You have been warned before in the past.

Roller Coaster "death machines"
snoodog replied to TexasGiant1982's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I LOVE Mean Streak but it is way too rough and slow around the turns and WAY too trimmed. Also Ninja at SF StLouis and SFOG are way to bumpy. The OTSR's on SFOG's Ninja are not bent right, thjey do not go to the stomach but aslanted outward near the heart. They SUCK -
... I would really have to agree with him.

Did you know that Carolina Goldrusher was the first roller coaster to cross a state line and there are only three in the nation. ( Goldrusher, Super Saturator, Thunder Road).

What is your favorite coaster building company. I have a feeling B & M is he top choice. If your choice is other, specify which company and what roller coaster.

Great Adventure or Cedar point
snoodog replied to Sephiroth77's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Cedar Point has some awesome steel coasters when GAdv has maybe 3. GAdv has better wooden coasters than CP -

The Norweigien? Loop looks interesting. But 97* is no different than 95*. You could not barely feel or see a difference. -

Cedar Point: Get a B&M flying or Vekoma flying coaster in place of Iron Dragon. Make it a terrain coaster that goes through woods. Name the flying coaster ''Iron Dragon". Get a Intamin wooden or GCI wooden twister in place of CCMR. Have less trashcans. I feel sad for the trash men. Get a B&M dive coaster over 300 ft. tall. That would be awesome. Get a Top Spin in place of Witch's Wheel. Move Whitch's Wheel to the Wicked Twister midway. Add more theming to Disaster Transport or tear it down and but a place to eat, (nice, waited on, sit-down), and get a moto-coaster. Include Soak City with Cedar Point admission. Make the Go-Carts at Challnge park faster. Re-paint Blue Streak, Magnum, Mantis and Disaster Tranport. Add a Break-Dance beside Calypso. I would change this in a period of 10 years. -

snoodog replied to Tanks4me05's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Carowinds... Re-track Hurler and some more of Thunder Road. Get some new flat rides. Get one new water ride. Get a new wooden coaster or a B&M coaster (mini or reg. hyper, dive coaster, sit down). -

JZ's Six Flags Over Georgia Photo TR!
snoodog replied to PKI Jizzman's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was just down there for ACE Spring Fling and this is what I recommend: Ride Goliath first thing as many times as you can because it will become crowded. Head to the back of the park and ride Superman: Ultimate Flight as many times as you can. Then you are free! Mindbender, Batman and Georgia Scorcher needs to be hit before everybody eats lunch. The Georgia Cyclone, Great American Scream Machine, Dahlonega Mine Ride and Canyon Blaster can be done after 3pm. You must ride Acrophobia before noon or 1 hour after closing. They have a new Jhonny Rockets that is a good place to eat. Also you may leave the park and drive five miles to Lithia Springs or 10 miles to Douglassville to find good chain resturaunts. 1 hour before leaving at night, Acrophobia, Goliath, Batman, and GASM are good to ride. The flat rides they have besides Acrophobia is Wheelie (enterprise), Monster Plantation ( indoor boat ride), Splashwater Falls, Log Jamboree ( water rides) and Thunder River! Great American Scream Machine and Vekoma's Ninja are rough. You have been warned. Hope you have fun! -
Just like PKI ManJZ instead of going to SFOG, I'm going to Wild Adventures in July. So here are questions that I need answers to: What is the best coaster and worst coaster in the park in your opinion? (big coasters). Is Hangman and Cheetah really that bumpy? What is the best day and times to go? What is the city of Valdosta like? Is it worth a seven hour drive? What would you mostly recommend doing there for a day? Thanks so much for your posts. I'll accept anything and hopefully enjoy it.
