Disney's Magical Express
bigstevet07 replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We used it in September. It is kind of hard to locate someone at the airport depending on what concourse you are on. Just find someone with the giant Mickey hands and they will tell you how to get there to check in. I was really impressed with the fact they loaded up the bus, put everyone's luggage on depending on where you are staying, and dropped everyone off at the apporiate hotel. Then, all you gotta go is check in at the hotel and the bell people take your bags to the room for you. You won't deal with bags at all once you get on the bus. I don't know how it is to get back to the airport on land because we took the land/sea package. I do know that on the boat we put or luggage outside our door that night, and they made sure it got on the bus and with us to the airport. -

Scenery that looks terrible!
bigstevet07 replied to coasterguy4's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I totally forgot about Disaster Transport. Thats a good one. I don't think anyone knows the story on it. All it looks like is these random rooms from some spaceship before getting on a crappy ride. None of them really go together. -

I'm going to go with Mr Freeze at SFStL. The warehouse building looks pretty decent from the outside, but when you get in there its just metal walls until the station. I guess they figured if they made it cool enough that would be all they need. EDIT: I mean that they make the temperature cold enough -
Trust me, unless you wanted to feel like you just went 12 rounds with Tyson, you didn't miss out on anything by not getting to ride the Timberwolf. I was there in May and rode it hoping they may have retracked it, and it has gotten worse. I had a headache the rest of the day. I agree with Derek, nice replacement for the Zinger. That sucks, I still don't know why they got rid of the Zinger when it was still pretty popular and a fun ride. The Boomerang is just too painful.

The Official "TPR 2006 UK Tour" Thread!

Ok, who is the girl in the pigtails at Thorpe park? I am officially a fan boy. She is hot. -
I can't believe someone said Nitro at SFGAdv. That is probably the smoothest I have been on. I totally forgot about Dragon at Adventureland. They might as well rename it to POS death machine. I am surprised it is still standing as bad as it is.

TR: Indiana Beach - 7/9/06
bigstevet07 replied to Cameron's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah from everything I have heard lately, it won't be recognizable. Maybe I can talk the wife into going on an Indiana trip and we can hit IB and Holiday World. -
What is your least favorite inversion?
bigstevet07 replied to Milkchan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is my least favorite inversion. Its the old orient express at WOF. Thank god they put it to rest. The batwing for arrow was just pain, pain, pain. Credit RCDB -
TR: Indiana Beach - 7/9/06
bigstevet07 replied to Cameron's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Its really strange to hear that IB is being rated by so many as a great park. The last time I was there was early 90's when all they had was the Galaaxy and Tigr'r coasters. They had just opened the waterpark the last time I was there. I never thought that it would get big enough to have to good woodies as it had a carnival feel to it when I was there. I am going to have to take a trip there now! -

Favorite Log Flume
bigstevet07 replied to apollo210's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'd have to go with Double Splash Flume at Dutch Wonderland. Mainly because even the little hill at the beginning would get you pretty wet. It might be Splash Mountain at WDW, except for the fact they were building it when I went at 13, and last Septmeber it was freaking closed!! Dang you maintenance crew!! -

Photo TR: Adventureland (Iowa) 7/5/06
bigstevet07 replied to pvcoasterguy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I never thought i would see an Adventureland TR. Well done. I live in Omaha but haven't been there in years. I think the last time I was there the space shot opened. The underground is really a dissapointment though. There is a lift hill so you think you are going down at some point, but it seems like a dark train ride. The Outlaw is truly an underrated woodie though. They can blow up the dragon for all that I care, will never ride it again. -

UGH, they still have the same dang restraints on it. So what if the ride is a bit smoother, the restraints are what made it bad. DIE TOGO HELL DIE!!!
