Which coaster fits your personality?
disneyfan1313 replied to jarmor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Space Mountain because I like the dark and I have a surprise around every turn! -

Primeval Whirl is pretty darn wild! -

I think sky rides are always pretty romantic! -

Space Mountain at WDW! -
When did you become an enthusiast?
disneyfan1313 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I am more of a theme park enthusiast than coaster enthusiast, but I think my "turning point" was my first visit to DL and Knotts when I went on a cross country trip when I was 9. From then on, I knew I loved it! -
What is your non-theme park travel bucket list?
disneyfan1313 replied to disneyfan1313's topic in Random, Random, Random
Wow! You guys had some awesome ones.... so awesome in fact it reminded me of a few more of mine! Climb Mt. Fuji - I *really* want to do this and get the dorky climbing stick that they brand at each stop and then make it to the top at sunrise. If I plan a trip back to Japan during climbing season, I am going to make this happen! Olympics - I'm not a huge sports person, but I really enjoy the olympics and would love to see it in person just to be part of the atmosphere. That being said, I don't think I want to try until I can do it right and see an opening or closing ceremonies. -
So I know we all have a "bucket list" of theme parks we want to go to and rides we want to ride...but what about your top non-theme park locations? Why don't we limit it to your top three...and make sure to explain why! Here are mine... 1) Cuba - There is something about it being "forbidden" which has always intrigued me. I have wanted to travel here for years and I want to do it the second the embargo drops. I would love to see it trapped in the 1950s before it becomes a cruise ship port. 2) Ibiza - I love EDM and have wanted to go to Ibiza for years. Can we have a TPR trip there? 3) The Ice Hotel in Sweden - I know it is a novelty and I would probably hate it after 20 minutes, but I really want to see it and spend a night in it.

Why all the screaming, Robb?
disneyfan1313 replied to douggw's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ I don't think it is a pile on effect, folks just want to express their opinion. That is the nature of internet forums...right? -
How well do you handle hangtime?
disneyfan1313 replied to Vid_w's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ugh - I hate it! All I keep thinking about is what would happen if the restraints were to fail. Horrible thoughts and feelings!!! -
Everyday Objects

Sometimes driving over small hills very fast reminds me of coasters! -
Most Under-rated Dark Ride
disneyfan1313 replied to stratamaster120's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have to agree with E.T. - I think it was really ahead of its time in many ways. -
Has a waterslide ever scared you?
disneyfan1313 replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I will second "Bomb Bay" at wet and wild. The floor dropping out from under you is insane!!! -
I honestly can't get past my fear of them, but I think an upcharge attraction in the $20-30 range is reasonable.

Better Theming or More Track
disneyfan1313 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is tough! I would say at a park that specializes in theming (Disney, Uni, etc) I would prefer more theming, but if it is a park that specializes in thrills (SFMM) then I would say to spend the money on the ride itself! -
Insufficient restraints on coasters
disneyfan1313 replied to mattnz's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
B&M flyers restraints do freak me out for some reason. Even though I *know* I am safe.. it still feels like it isn't enough to hold me in! -
Most Complicated Restraints
disneyfan1313 replied to tribar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ugh - for me Togo standups take the cake! So difficult and painful! -
Stupid Moves that Parks have made
disneyfan1313 replied to tribar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It isn't really a park - but closing the Dania Beach Hurricane! -
Coolest station you've seen
disneyfan1313 replied to Eric_Smith's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I *love* the station for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at WDW. The way you descend into it and the noise and the trains disappearing into the darkness!
