I was wondering if there is any database on traveling coasters from around the world. I know that ive been on two of them. One in Hawaii and One in Maryland. Other than that i know nothing else about them or any other traveling coasters.

Which gives more feelings?
DailyBugle_JL replied to Superdasher's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Its all depends on which coaster. Storm Runners launch does nothing for me but volcanoes still does. Hypersonic can catch me off gaurd sometimes. Hulk is still one of the good launches as well. Certain Woodies can get me every now and then. The coaster that has most intense "feeling" to me is the pretzel loop on Superman Ultimate Flight. Launches and drops, both seem equal to me some are good and some are eh..... -
Your coaster 2005 season highlights
DailyBugle_JL replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
First Coaster: Georgia Cyclone opening day Last coaster: TBR. most likely will be one of the Wild Adventures coasters on ride home from Tampa. #1 highlight of the year would have to be all the hype for goliath before we knew it was goliath. All the markings started popping up and a kind of scavenger hunt started to find all the markings. Its been rumored and we wanted our own for years and finally in 2006 we will get our hyper coaster. #2 I rode my 4th intamin coaster which kind of sucks since im such a big intamin fan. The fourth was Storm Runner, joining Volcano, SROS and Superman The Escape. My #1 goal in 2006 is to double or Triple my intamin count. #3 Going to BGT for the first time. I love that place its not as good as BGW but i still like it a whole lot. Many visits to Tampa are to come. hmmmmm the years not over i can still get down there for one last trip before my passport expires. Im not going to get in a Vu war butim pretty sure all the Vu's and Stuntfall are the exact same. Silent "TBR stands for To Be Ridden" Lynch -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
DailyBugle_JL replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe the little catwalk is for if the train comes to a complete stop and the workers have to climb up the track to push it down. Thats my only explanation. The real question is why make a catwalk when theres no way to get to it. Jeremy "who would love to climb up thru the track" Lynch -
Top / Best Amusement Park (s)
DailyBugle_JL replied to bodombeast's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Heres my top 5 1) PKD, four launch coasters who can beat that. 2and3) BGW and IOA, best themed parks in the world 4) SFOG, Homepark forced to love it. 5) Hershey, who can beat that smell of chocolate that fills the air. I would have top ten but the rest of the parks ive been to dont count for much in my book, including magic mountain. -
i had to drive by the park today so i decided to stop and take pics as well. Nice pics Ptrips and Ccrazy. Here are shots that arent up yet. This round Schorcher and Freefall decided to play. Scorcher and Goliath hid behind the same tree. Freefall was smart he hid behind Goliath Also today me and Goliath decided to play hide and go seek. Heres my weekly shot of Goliath from Wendys. 10/16/2005

Pick N Mix Video #1 Contest Top 20!
DailyBugle_JL replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That one was editted down version, the first version was alot worse. I didnt want to scare elissa to bad. So far my favorite is mines. No seriously, the best would have to be Arrowfans so far, good work. The rest were just music videos of the same thing over and over. Good work to all. Im still working on Jew's video right now so ill comment on it tommorow with the other 10. -
Im not scared of any ride but i am scared of the paramounts effiel towers, sixflags skytowers and the towers at Hershey and SWO. I dont understand how i can ride some of the tallest coasters and drop towers out there but i cant go up in one of these towers. I get all dizzy and everything, freaks me out just thinking about them. Oh i just remembered on ride i mean seat i wouldnt ride. The little seat belt seat in the middle of the back row on TOT at MGM studios. Do they even still have that seat. I avoid that seat everytime im down there.

I made the cut thats a surprise. That makes me feel good considering that it was my first edited video ever. Thanks Rob and Elissa for giving me something to do that boring wednesday before thanksgiving. Goodluck to the other 19 members who made the cut. -Jeremy "who thinks he was # 20 out of 20 to make the cut" Lynch -
I just uploaded my vid. This was my first one ever so I think i did pretty good with MovieMaker considering my lack of experience until today. I just got a little camcorder for my birthday the other day so i guess ill be editing alot of vids in the coming months. I think my first official vid to make will be called "Winnepesaukah Adventures Over Georgia"

Hey Elissa can you change mine to be something dealing with spiderman, think of something cool for me. Thanks.

Ive never been to astroworld so i really dont know what im missing. All i know is that SFOG has dibbs on SWAT so back off. Its sad to here that the third park in the chain is closing forever. Gosh houston sucks, since they let this happen to their own amusement park. I wonder what rides will be trasported to splashtown. Maybe SWAT will go their instead.

Off Topic: ^do you really believe this little flyer MM is getting is really going to put it over CP in the ratings. I think not. Whats the point of having 17 coasters if half of them are in poor operation. CP is competing with Gadv now, so get over MM past hype. Hopefully it will become like the glory days again. On Topic: Do you guys have any idea on when you will get your press release. Theres no telling on when this ride will open based on that you guys are still prepping the site for construction. How lame would it be if you guys got a flyer similar to air. Also has anyone connected the dots of all the survey markings yet, so we can get a general idea on where the ride is going, i dont really keep up with non-GA construction.
-
Its cool to see that you guys finally got visual confirmation about your ride. On S:UF the dual stations worked fine at first. As the years have progressed the tranfer track often breaks down during 3 train operation, so it sucks when you have 2 trains stacked in the brakes. Other than that i prefer our(georgia) dual loading station over the Gadv single loading station. I think its kind of funny, we down in georgia are getting a better goliath, and you guys are getting a better flyer.

I think we all thought it was small until they drained the two ponds for digging. I cant wait for the ERT us season passholders get. And this coaster goes through alot trees in its couse. Last sunday i seen the drill digging holes between trees. Hurray, we only rumored about this thing forever. I guess somebody slipped up 3 or 4 years ago, when planning for the ride was just beginning.
-
I dont post much on this site but i think i might just go on this UK trip with you guys. Im down here stuck in atlanta georgia, the home of quick thrills until next year. Im ready to leave to states, to up my park count. But i dont know yet if i will be able to go to Leisberg. I just have to see if my parentals will help me out just a little.
