I am so glad I searched this. I was about to make a new topic! I am posting pictures of my room so everyone can see how cool it is. This is my room as of 7-13-05 (scroll down for pictures from 5 minutes ago...) See all that stuff that used to be on my wall? Yeah.. that rugrats pillow is long gone now... That was whsat my room looked like a year ago. The differences now are that most of the posters are taken down because I had flooding in my house from Hurricane Wilma. Also, I no longer have the roller coaster on my ceiling, I took it down once I bought my coaster dynamix kit. Here are pictures of what my room looks like now! I got a new TV, and instead of keeping my games on the floor (hurricane wilma taught me a lesson when it flooded) I keep them in a drawer. See how much stuff is missing from my wall? I think my new roller coaster is a big improvement over the old one! Check out my lego flat rides! I have a Kamikaze and a GravityWorks Skyscraper! Check out my games and movies!

Does anyone else prefer forceless rides?
Jumboshrmp replied to Jumboshrmp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well it's all a matter of opinion I think. The Incredible Hulk Coaster has a really amazing layout, and the launch is a ton of fun, but you feel a lot of force in all of the inversions, and I think it would have been a bit better if the vertical loops in particular had less force at the top. The first time I rode that, between the cobra roll and the loop, I blacked out quite a bit. Not that it was a problem, but I like seeing things upside down and I couldn't see anything. -

Ummm... how about a launch? Since this looks to be a launched coaster, a bunch of straigh track makes sense to be a launch -

Well go ride another steel coaster. Maybe it was just the bumpiness that scared you away! -
Disneygurlz do Disney-PTR WDW August 19-25
Jumboshrmp replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I believe it's "Por favor montenganse alejado de las puertas", but it could be "burrito dorito quesadilla" for all I know. No, I don't speak spanish, I just remember random things like that really well. And that pool looks awesome! "Para sus seguridad, permanecer centados montendan sus manos, brazos, pies, y piernas, dentro del train" I could be way off with that one but I think it's right for the most part. -
Why did you put them in the oven, yet you were setting the time on the microwave? Yeah, those are too good to cook.

Here are a list of things that are really stupid right now. In other words a list of trends that I HATE: Crocs Chuck Norris Any brand name on anything Grillz. I dont care what you say, having gold or jewels on your teeth is ugly. That also goes for body piercings. I just dont like them. Thats mainly it. Oh, and snakes on a plane is another trend I cant stand. DUDE, NO! Myspace is the greatest thing since sliced milk. Myspace is the new Google!

You think that Montu is forceful? Sure it has the batwing, but the reason it is my favorite inverted coaster is because it has so much floating sensation and not all force. -

Well I prefer floater are over ejector air. And on an inverted coaster, if there is a huge turnaround, I would rather have a huge slow sweeping turn with a lot of air than a fast turn that pulls 4 Gs -

Ooooh... you bad boy... I just watched the escalator tide video... I can't believe I missed it before! -

But isn't that the point? Enjoying the layout? If you're pushed into your seat the entire time, you can't even feel the layout. -

You'd hate Canada's Mindbender. 5.2 G's sustained between a double loop It'snot that I hate positice G's or can't handle them. It';s mostly that I think if you can't feel an inversion (meaning get some air at the top), it's wasted. -

Thats one of the things I like about the corkscrews on non-B&M coasters. I think corkscrews on B&M have too much force at the top, and are shaped too tight, and it's one of my least favorite elements. On python at BGA and Rock 'n' Roller coaster at MGM, those corkscrews were a lot of fun. That sounds like so much fun. -
I wonder if anyone else feels the same way I do about this. When I ride a coaster, I like to have a graceful, flying sensation, and I love airtime. Particularly in inverted coasters, but these seem to be the biggest offenders in this area. I like when a ride takes its inversions slower, so you get disorienting hangtime at the top. I dont like when it tears right through the loop. Comparing a ride like Batman or Dueling Dragons to Montu, I definitely rate Montu much higher, because it isnt so "forceful" that it makes all other sensation go away. This is why my favorite loop is the loop on Kumba. Plenty of time to savor the upside down view. Does anyone else feel this way about some rides? Particularly with inverted coasters? Most people I talk to think I am crazy for disliking inversions with a lot of force. I like force in certain spots, like at the bottom of a batwing, pretzel loop, or helix. But when it's all over the entire track, I think it somewhat makes the experience less exciting. If you are constantly plastered to your seat, you cant feel any tipping or inversions. So, who else agrees with me, or at least can understand my views?

That looks like an LIM track or a brake run... without the fins. -
Best B&M Inverted Wheel cover Art
Jumboshrmp replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Montu, because montu just rocks. I would have voted Dragons though, but honestly, I still think the best looking B&M invert train are the Batman the ride trains (even though I think the ride itself is way overrated). I prefer the big inverted coasters with lots of airtime and gaceful floating and flying sensations. -

I agree, I use a mac also, but the majority of people do use windows, and windows media works great on a windows computer. However, I do think there should be a download option. Then, it will work well for any computer. EDIT: It looks like robb did it just before I posted this. Great idea! -
