3 Facts Name That Coaster!

Steel Phantom? -
Which you had previously stolen from Six Flags Astroworld. Anyway, I'm not sure how I feel about a GCI for this park. They already appear to have a decent wood coaster selection (Although they do lack a racer/dueler and a true twister). A hyper like previously rumored would have been a better choice. And Six Flags St. Louis isn't that far from WoF and Branson right? Celebration City already has Wildcat, and SDC and WoF are both rumored to be getting GCIs in the near future.

Pink leotard, and did a sexually sugesstive dance infront of a pre-school group. Since Stationman was a coaster enthusiast, this performance, aswell as a recent news story about a pedophile coaster enthusiast (Who really just wanted to credit whore kiddie coasters, but this behavior was mis-understood by the media) a negative sexual/pedophilic stigma was thus attached to coaster enthusiasts by the mass media, which resulted in...

Raum Park [RCT3] Page 3: Update
asr replied to Twister II's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
It isn't an options cheat, it is more complex than that (It requires hex editing). A basic, easy guide on how to do it can be found here. About the park, it looks nice, espiecally Gangster. I wan't to see the entire layout of Gangster though. -
Bill Gates. Bill then bribed the SheiKra operator $1 Million to give him as many front row edge seat SheiKra rides as he could handle. However, the somewhat elderly Bill became sick after only...

Insane Asylum, that happened to be just down the street from Busch Gardens Tampa. The inmates then escaped the asylum with help from the resident Lactophobia (Fear of dairy products) doctor Mr. Six. They proceeded to raid the park, and took over all the kiddie rides, which made the managers think they were pedophiles and throw them to the...

Hersheypark 2008 - 'Lost meets the Maverick thread'
asr replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The translation is "ckret@nantimi.com has the answers you seek. All will be known soon...you will know sooner." EDIT: Darn, you beat me. I wish I had an email account so I could play this too. -

I'm pretty sure it is a kiddy Vekoma. -
Seconded.

S:UF's train carry less people and loading times are alot longer I'm sure. Anyway, about the trip report... I'm jealous of the short lines you got

ERT = Exclusive Ride Time, basically meaning that only one specific group (Usually a group of coaster enthusiasts holding an event at a park) can ride a specific ride, or set of rides at a given time. IMO = In My Opinion. It is an internet slang. I shouldn't have to explain what the phrase it is an abbreviation for means I can't answer your question about model coasters though. EDIT: Doh, I spent so much time explaining myself that two other people beat me. Atleast I can still say I had more complete explanations though

Hersheypark 2008 - 'Lost meets the Maverick thread'
asr replied to Homer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Looking at the ride design again after flipping it, there definatly appears to be a top hat, and there is a cleary visable cobra roll. I can also make out what appears to be an airtime hill or zero g roll, and a vertical loop, and maybe another airtime hill or zero g roll. Also, how close is Storm Runner to Western Chute-Out? Because of the top hat and launch, I had the idea that they could be adding on to Storm Runner. Ofcourse, that would make all the "Better then a perfect 10" comments pointless, unless after the modifications Storm Runner had 11 inversions. EDIT: One problem with the Storm Runner modification theory is that they would probably have hints involving Storm Runner if it was true. And when was the last time a major ride was modified so quickly after it was first built? The only thing one can think of is Turn of the Century at the Great America parks that were modified into Demon 4 years after their original debut. However, as far as I know, Hershey is pretty low on space, and adding onto another coaster would take less space then an all new coaster. -
Floorless Coasters: Just a gimmick?
asr replied to RIP Psyclone's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Floorless coasters are a gimmick, and not a very good one. Inverts are alot better in my opinion, you feel alot more free with no track beneath you. And on really compact inverts (like Vekoma SLCs) the footchoppers are really frightening. -
Hersheypark 2008 - 'Lost meets the Maverick thread'

I really don't think it will have a launch or a top hat. They have Storm Runner already which has both. -
Scale Coaster trains! Griffon and Alpengeist
asr replied to CD_Staff's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those look great, but I have to be nit picky and mention that Raptor has more tealish supports, not sky blueish. Will this be fixed in the final shipment? -
Kattapult (rct3-coster)
asr replied to Liseberg4ever's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Pretty good ride, looks like it would have some good airtime. However, parts of it were pretty boring, like the straightaway after the overbanked turn, and the long helix half way through the ride. -
A Spongebob theme is just screaming for some sort of family/children oriented water attraction. I really wouldn't like it if they re-themed Camp Snoopy though, I'm not a fan of Nickolodeon or Spongebob.

The Best G Machine
asr replied to Manny In England's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those G-Force graphs are really interesting lond, I was planning to skip over them reading this thread, but I'm glad I didn't! I never knew rides like Voyage or Hades pulled those kind of Positive Gs even in short bursts, and I never knew that any coasters even got close to 2 Negative Gs. It seems wierd that Phantom's Revenge doesn't have very high (Or rather, low) Negative Gs since everyone says it has insane airtime. And LOL at Millennium Force's pitifull Negative Gs -

Funniest thing I have heard all day. Eleven inversions is FAR more likely than eleven lift hills. And if it did have eleven lift hills, it better be the world's longest coaster, or it would be one of the worst rides in the history of the unvirse. I could get more excitement on a sled moving on flat ground than on an eleven lift hill coaster. -
Dominator, which had been turned into a 2 MPH powered coaster themed to everything emo and sad. The ride featured speakers in the seats that give you statistics and information about death, as well as a information about the depression the creator of the show suffered from. At this point, a member of the website Geauga Lake Today became fed up with how Six Flags was treating his home park. He formed the "Union of Geauga Lake Fanboys and Fangirls" (the UoGLFaF (pronounced U-OH-GLA-FAF)) and led an attack against the forces of the Central Rwandan Anime Peoples. All the while, Mark Shapiro was on a date with Paris Hilton, and to make it a double date, phoned up a friend from college and his girlfriend, Lindsey Lohan, who had recently broken out of the rehab center. However, when te man arrived, it turned out it was Kieran Burke! The two began fighting, and in anger Shapiro quickly reached for the...

Theme parks shouldn't be allowed in a communist country because they are privatly owned. However, Dick Kinzel, a fellow communist, then agreed to move every Cedar Fair park (except Geauga Lake and Michigan's Adventure, because noone wanted them) to locations around Russia, and place them under goverment control. However, this plot point is un-important, because Six Flags then bought MiA and Geuga, and re-themed them after the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, causing a huge outcry from...

RCDB claims it will be the "Energizer" inverted coaster layout that features an Immelmann and Cobra Roll.
