Agreed. I feel like the park could have done more with the layout, but we'll see how it rides when it opens next year

It's awesome that Hershey Park is getting a new coaster. But I gotta say; I'm not a fan of the layout. It'll be interesting to see how these new trains fare for Intamin. This is the first time they are using 4-abreast right?

If this were the case, why would management insist on having them do it? It may look goofy, but that policy is definitely in place for a reason. How do you know people don't take their job seriously? You have no clue

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that during the day employees get distracted and bored with their jobs and just go through the motions. Checking to make sure everything is in proper order before a ride dispatches is one of the most important things you can do to maintain a good safety record. Making them put their hands up over their eyes adds a physical aspect to checking the area that will make them actually look around to see if anything is wrong.

I'm fairly sure the park knows what they're doing. Doubtful they made a mistake. It doesn't matter if you understand what six flags is doing with the paint job or not....as long as it's open the day they say it's going to open right? Who cares what they are doing with the paint right now? It's not going to change the ride experience in a few weeks. Everyone is getting in a tizzy about the colors of the ride. It is clear we have no idea what they are planning on doing...so let's just leave it until it finished. Some of you guys find ways of getting upset over the stupidest things

Pretty sweet. I don't recommend actually doing it, but looks awesome ---edit, how do you embed youtube videos on TPR? What normally works for forums didn't work properly. I also may just be dumb haha

What kind of discounts do you get at the parks?

I've decided to go to halloween parties just in a pair of jeans...when people ask me what I am, I'll say, "I just came in my pants"

Will Heath Ledger be in this one again?

Oh hey. I don't post often...but this is what I look like haha

Viper became insanely rough after 1997...it's popularity faded, ande paved the path for El Toro's planning. I have high doubts that's why the shirt says 1997. Could you possible post a picture of the shirt? 1997 seems like an irrelevant year.

Why did the mod feel the need to edit that post? Who cares what the water in New Jersey tastes like. Everyone has different opinions. Talk about the park...not the freaking water. We don't care all the places you've been to in Jersey. MOD EDIT by larrygator: because I didn't want to post for posting's sake and agree we should be talking about the park and not the water

The trims make the ride terrible. I suggest not riding it at all, it would be a waste of your time.

They're doing a contest for "Show us your scream face" and the winners will get ERT on GASM's last day. And their status I would LOVE to go. I don't own a car, but if someone is willing to give me a ride to and from I will help out with gas. Mike in Reston, VA You're 42 and don't have a car?? Do you live in like a city or something? How do you survive?!?!

What if one train did like a downwards 90 degree banked turn...while the other did like an upwards 90 degree banked turn. That way the tracks could enter and exit the element without getting in the way of each other. Therefor the tracks wouldn't necessarily be parallel to each other like in the concept drawing. Makes sense in my head...if you understand what I'm saying...raise your hand!

Since 98.3%* of the park patrons think all the beemers are in the parking lot, I don't see a problem with it. *I have no supporting documentation to back-up this statistic, but that doesn't mean I'm lying. 100%* of the GP...don't know the difference between a B&M and a Vekoma. *another made up stat

Who makes you in charge of what Gadv deserves and doesn't deserve? Rumors are flying around left and right...how do you know that Gadv is NOT getting flat rides for next year?? Why don't we all wait for the official announcement? Getting upset of rumors is supid haha Edit: I just read the guy's post above me. You all are being so naive. You have no idea how many flats Gadv is getting next year. People hear a rumor on the internet...ON THE INTERNET....and believe it to the "T." You say Gadv is getting 6 flats like its written in stone, provide some sources if you post stuff like that Sorry, but six flats is what Shapiro planned for GADV, according to CoasterFusion. This may be right or wrong, but I was trusting CoasterFusion in the post above. Obviously Weber could have changed this, but if he's really looking at what each park needs, he'll realize we need flats. Thanks for calling us naive, though. I was being nice by calling you naive. Again...all of these things you all are talking about are still rumors. Therefor take what everyone says with a grain of salt and wait for the initial announcement to make judgements. Your post said, like it was fact. If you take information from another website...at least mention that site.

I blacked out the F-bombs...sorry it's kinda small, hopefully you can still read it

Would you also have a sub-forum for premium members only then?

You mention that you are expecting Hurricane Harbor construction. Is there something mentioning new slides coming in next year? I totally missed that if it did come out.

I saw a mannequin with really big boobs...and the rest they say....is history.

They are trying to relate hair-cuts and roller coasters...but they really don't go together. This commercial seems kind of awkward.

I like all the stuff they are doing with (Medusa) but not a really big fan of the theme.

http://www.spike.com/video/how-can-you-harness/3037375 This is actually really cool. Not sure how far scientists can take this concept. But the best part is.....I go to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where they are creating them.....schweeet!!!
