PortAventura Discussion Thread
dr.gumbo replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think thats because of the speed its going at plus the weight of the trains may be heavier than usual so its bigger to reinforce it. OR the park dont like sguare track so they enlarged the triangle instead -

IAAPA Attractions Expo 2006(usa)
dr.gumbo replied to philipman2000's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Coca-Cola themed ride, thats awesome, if its going anywhere its porbably Toverland. The show this year looks fun and intresting wish I could go but its way too far to travel for it (As a note, how come the Euro-fighter 320 is missing its heartline roll) -
It dont think it will take a long time firstly the trolleys powered so its more likely to brake down and stop were it broke while on a rollercoaster it will travel to the nearest block brake and stop, and thats were they have the evacuation areas. Secondly, it in Japan and they dont take safety as much as we westerners do! But you know what Universal can be like, and I see were your coming from EDIT: Oh! Didnt know you already posted this Jarmor so... Opps!

Cypress Gardens Announcement on Nov. 9th
dr.gumbo replied to IOA Freak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I didnt mean that (I just wrote it out badly so its not your fault ) what I mean is its good there doing it for the heck of it! For all we know it could end up as the oldest coaster but the chances of that are slim as the park nearly closed -

^I prefer new woodies too and I dont why they should preserve this, well, if they waited they could of got zippin pippin But there are very good classics that have been preserved like all the woodies at Knoebles (even if some are remakes, they still resemble the main ride and improved it) and there all fantastic! Well its still good there preserving starliner! -

Efteling Yay! -
Tramatizer will do great at the park and most the coasters at blackpool are out and backs, all with a simular experiance. Tramatizer will be a completly new type of rollercoaster there and it will fit in perfectly Use your brain, research it and there ar'nt too many of them, we at england hav'nt got one at the monent as it is getting moved. Besides it shows it a good model. Bah, since im nice I'll answer your question, Kong and BT are both the same (sort of) (On another positive note your doing well at english, Im crap at languages )

Efteling Discussion Thread
dr.gumbo replied to Pepper's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I hope they do get this working by 07 cause I might have the slight chance of going that year as I may be going on holiday there I also hope they dont sue Kumbak, they just started and It would be unfair to not give it a second chance ,they look like they can make really good rides with no (and they make fantastic looking trains) -
