ScottBrown replied to a topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

My What the Heck is the sudden face down on the brake run -
Well a 6 or even a five could have the potential to do alot of damage in areas that don't have any Earthquake codes because the buildings there arn't designed to withstand ground movement -
-
well I know it isn't random I can see the fault there but its like if. . . well I mean when we get a quake on the Hayward Fault out here in California, it hasn't happned in around 200 years - Some faults take on an almost extinct personality for long periods of time then wake up and suprise everyone
-
Here is the USGS map of the location of the quake. . . http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Maps/10/275_30.php pretty random area for an earthquake IMO

whats up Paramount?
ScottBrown replied to stricklandCC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well Cedar Fair didn't seem to care that PKI already had a Huss Giant Frisbee whan they built one did they? Plus v2 isn't a standard Impulse so it isn't like they would be building the exact same thing, otherwise there isn't a heck of alot that will fit in that spot without tearing the stupid turbo theater out -
Skyrides are vanishing for a number of reasons IMO, one due to the way the cars enter the station and need to be caught by a person and there is always a risk of employees and or guests getting hit, two the cars swing and roll durring loading and unloading and there is a risk of guests falling, and three stupid people nowadays find it amusing to spit and throw things at people on the ground and parks probably don't want to deal with the liability and find it is much easier to eliminate the problem as opposed to stopping it

Why Can I see Cedar Fair putting some kind of Impulse Coaster where Tidal Wave once was -
S&S Sansei Discussion Thread
ScottBrown replied to Coaster Joe's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I imagine since the company is S&S Arrow there will be Roller Coasters down the road regardless, keep in mind they are just getting started Rome wasn't built in a day -
whats up Paramount?
ScottBrown replied to stricklandCC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
well yeah Stealth was a problem plagued coaster I will agree - The load and dispatch time are somthing that could have been fixed over time however - But I toataly agree Stelth was a Sub Par attraction, but so is the Grizzly if you can even call it that -
whats up Paramount?
ScottBrown replied to stricklandCC's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ok here is my bit - First off Boomerang Bay was a great concept and as stated before is a bigger money maker than a new coaster. . . but I have always thought removing Stealth was a mistake, the Grizzly takes up quite a footprint as well and there would have been plenty of room to expand into the employee parking area, or what about all of the land still vacant from the Whizzer that had already been cleared for the TA2K we lost to PKD -

Favorte Steel: Xcelerator without a doubt, but I am also partial to Revoulition just because it's a Schwarzkopf Favorite Wood: (haha) Ghostrider and the SCBB Dipper (the San Diego one can go to hell) Best Waterslide: Havn't done water slides in a long time but I would say Royal Flush Best Food: Dunno I love food so as long as it isn't cat or RatTums I will say all park food is good Best Fun: Vegas the largest theme park there is Best Park: I grew up going to SCBB so I am going to say that one,

Amusement Ride Breakdown!
ScottBrown replied to Mr Stratosphere's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The Chairswings at PGA had 2 good breakdowns back to back, first they couldn't get the thing to stop then they couldn't get it to start right (it would do the wave motion but refused to spin) strangest thing I have ever seen a ride do Scott " Im sure Robb and Elissa would agree " Brown
