  1. It was SUPPOSED to be the BBW at BGE. Schwarzkopf had all of the footers laid out and everything, and went bankrupt. At which point Arrow took over. Sort of sounds like what happened with Drachen Fire. B&M was originally supposed to design and build Drachen Fire, but B&M wasn't as big of a company back then as it is now, and had too many new coasters on their hands that year to build another. At that point Arrow took over.
  2. Wow. As a huge fan of raft rides, log flumes, etc., I must say that these designs look so much fun. I really do hope we'll be seeing one of these in the states in the upcoming years. -Gaven
  3. Rct3man777 Doesn't know exactly. Rct3man777 will stop talking in the 3rd person now. Lol. It's not a big deal. I was just curious man.
  4. This is very off topic, but Rct3man77, why do you always insist on talking in the third person? http://rcdb.com/ig1296.htm?picture=4 This is a pretty weird shuttle coaster. Weird trains too.
  5. Really? It seems to me that his name had just been added to most websites recently. I mean he was just featured on wikipedia's main page and versus other sites. I just can't understand why I had not herd of him in such a manner until this year. I have been a coaster nut for aeons. ...I know for sure that his name was just recently added to most rcdb pages where he is credited. On a related note... How dose one man design so many coasters? I'm so jealous. That would be my dream. No, it's just you. Whow, what's with the "A-hole" attitude. Are the people on this board always this snobbish? I'm guessing... "No, it's just you." Sorry to go a little off topic but to be honest, last time I checked saying "No, it's just you" isn't really an "A-hole" attitude, or at least I wasn't implying that. Anyway, I praise Stengel for designing monsters like Millennium Force, Maverick and El Toro. Truly the best in the business.
  6. Wait, for the people saying that Magnum runs one train during the rain, isn't it kinda impossible for only run train to run on it? or is there enough room for two trains on the transfer track? -Gaven

  8. I'd go with choice B. Well I mean I rode Nitro in the rain front row, its about 80 mph and that killed. Hell, even El Toro killed in the rain. I find it very hard to believe that Millennium Force, 310 feet tall 93 mph, wouldn't be that bad in the rain. And man, to think I was actually next in line during downpour then lightning comes. I now thank all thy mighty weather gods for lighting.
  9. On Saturday the 21st at night it started raining for a couple of hours. From drizzle to downpour, Millennium Force, Magnum (YES, MAGNUM), Gemini, Mantis and Iron Dragon were all running. I could not believe what I was seeing. I was expecting everything to be closed through the rain and throughout the night, but everything opened up right after the rained finally stopped. So much for that dreaded Cedar Point Rain Policy! I wonder if the management finally realized. Oh, and BTW, I really felt bad for those poor Millie riders who got their faces pelted with rain . OW.
  10. Universal Studios Florida/Islands of Adventure Six Flags Great Adventure Hershey Park Cedar Point Dorney Park Hoping to get to BGE and King's Dominion in August!
  11. Millennium Force I don't get what people are saying about how amazing Millennium Force is. I mean don't get me wrong it is a great ride, the drop is great and the ride is just all out fun, but there is really nothing that is so amazing about it. Also I think that all the hype got me really excited for it. You should of seen my face when I got off the ride for the first time. I have never been that disappointed in a long time. Defiantly not a top 3 coaster in my books.
  12. Be sure to post a Photo Trip Report if that happens! On a serious note, I think along with others that Silver Bullet would be nice to start out on. Not intense at all, very smooth and not too forceful. Nothing really big or anything that really stands out on it. Just perfect.
  13. Great Update! Kept me laughing as usual! Its always cool to see pictures of a couple of small European parks that you usually don't hear about. Have fun at Parc Asterix and the rest of the trip! -Gaven
  14. Great Photos! I love Cedar Point and in fact I was there the same time as you. I saw you when you were on Skyhawk, with your TPR shirt on. I was first in line for the next cycle. I too had a TPR shirt on. And yes, indeed it was very crowded Monday. Were you there Tuesday? IT was absolutely packed! The line for Wicked Twister went through a couple of switchbacks, Maverick had a full que, and Millie had a 1 1/2 hour wait. Still, all the coasters were worth the long wait. Again, great pictures and glad you had a good time at CP! -Gaven
  15. By far Magnum XL 200. Although the airtime may hurt, after the many times I've ridden it the airtime becomes tolerable and I now love it.
  16. So, is the what looks like red dive machine track at the B&M plant going here or what?
  17. Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point Wedensday night during Platinum Pass Holder ERT. I love that ride, it is 10x better than Kingda Ka, and ERT was amazing, I got 5 rides in under an hour.
  18. I'm going monday! I cannot wait to finally get on this bad boy.
  19. MLB 2k8. Still trying to get a no hitter. I've gotten many no hitters into the 9th, then a line drive to center. Pisses me off so much. I also quit World of Warcraft recently. It feels good not to be sitting on my computer all day. The game also started to bore me after about a year and half of playing.
