"We got snakes on crack!" - Samuel L. Jackson
-
I just got back from the theater, and I must say I was very entertained by the movie. Although it made more sense than I was expecting, it was still very random and had its funny moments. And of course, Samuel L. Jackson's signature line never gets old!

Turbo Drop or Space shot??
vjgx replied to c0@ster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Turbo Drop, because of the better view, anticipation, and more of that sudden drop feeling. On Space Shots, you're already moving pretty fast before you drop, so it doesn't feel as sudden. -
Does anyone else prefer forceless rides?
vjgx replied to Jumboshrmp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
On inverted coasters, I love fast loops. On normal sitdowns or floorless, I like a loop that's a good combination between force and hangtime... -
Photo TR: Six Flags Magic Mountain - 8/20/06
vjgx replied to vjgx's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Photos added! This TR is now interesting! -
I sure like the song. It's so fitting in today's world of P2P madness!

I'll be seeing Snakes on a Plane tomorrow... It better be good! ... And by good, I mean bad. Like, REALLY bad. So bad it's good!

It's the Riddler. I took an image of him (Google Images), cropped it, and added a green border. As for why I did it... I have no idea!

Now I want some cookies, dang it.

Three words: WHAT THE HECK?! I award this Photo TR the "Riskiest Attempt at at Photo TR" Award. -
2006 Golden Ticket Awards
vjgx replied to coasterdave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hmm... as Robb and Elissa both stated earlier, TPR Awards would be a great addition to the site... Unfortunately, any vote I submitted wouldn't be too fair, seeing as I haven't experienced enough to judge coasters very well... -
Restraints Pushing down
vjgx replied to Thrillrider15's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
When I ride The Riddler's Revenge, the restraints push down on the loops, but only temporarily... -
B&M, Vekoma, Arrow Restraints
vjgx replied to LiVeToThRiLl90's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I usually don't have a problem. Although i did notice a little annoyance with the restraints for Boomerang at Knott's Berry Farm (the same as Flashback at SFNE)... the restraints DON'T go down very far and are actually pretty loose, even when locked... which didn't allow me to stay in all too well. -
Best And Worst Coaster In California
vjgx replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is judging from what I've ridden...: Best: Tatsu... great, smooth coaster. Plus, a great flying coaster too! Worst: Ghostrider... I never rode it when it was smoother, but I CAN imagine what it must've been like... because now it's just rough as heck!! -
Coasters & their most MESSED up moments
vjgx replied to Mr. Volcano's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Riding Ghostrider while dehydrated and very hungry... The result: Major headache and aching for the next 5 hours!! Also: Getting E-Stopped on Colossus' (SFMM) second-to-last brake run so hard that you slam your head into the front of the car... also happened to me!! -
Awesome! I actually rode in a sailplane/glider in midwestern NY back in July... It was really cool. It's cool to have someone who can pilot one of those things on TPR!

From the looks of it, Fatty Patch Jacket Robb (am I allowed to say that?) is about to take on the Helix of Bunnies and Assorted Cute Animals! -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Tatsu, 4th row, inner right seat. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
vjgx replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yup. It's in place now... -
I was riding Colossus at SFMM today and I experienced what sure felt like an emergency stop on the first ending brake run... our train basically slammed into the brakes and stopped in half a second, sending my head about an inch away from the front, and my brother's face right into the front of the car... Everyone pretty much yelled "OH!!" when it stopped.

Well, I was there today... we asked the guy by X about it, and he says that the lift hill is busted. They haven't been working about it, and they said that they're gonna fix it once they get out of debt from Tatsu (they said it won't take much longer). He had no idea when it would reopen. Also, Superman's left side was running today. It only goes about halfway up or less, though...
