new Vekoma product: "Single Car Launch Coaster"
WFChris replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As far as capacity goes, I don't see any MCBR's...might be interesting to see how this is eventually executed. -

Mexico loves old Schwarzkopf coasters. Maybe it will finally move closer to home! -

Oldest Coaster You've Ridden
WFChris replied to MSLSM's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Whichever Giant Dipper in California is older would be my oldest coaster -
That's cute. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Why do you even read this thread? You're like that guy that has to point out everything crappy in life and ruin everybody else's day. On another note, did anybody go to the Colossus event last night? I would have paid $36 just for the buttons they were handing out!

Six Flags Mexico (SFM) Discussion Thread
WFChris replied to zburns999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I haven't been on the new version, but the first drop was never anything to write home about in the first place so I can't imagine that there was a whole lot to 'ruin.' -
Schlitterbahn Kansas - Verrückt Water Slide
WFChris replied to KBrylczyk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We're still talking about stairs, right??? Because it sounds like we're talking about vigorous exercise... NOT... to be confused with stairs. I'm talking about the heat Kansas probably gets during the summer. Lots of unhealthy people (read: "Americans") casually climbing the stairs only to pass-out half-way up not because they ran out of breath, but because their body over-heated (most likely due to lack of hydration). You'd be surprised how many times I've coincidentally seen something like this happen on only a few flights of stairs. And there is no safety elevator I assume. Would hate to have to carry somebody down 17 flights of stairs. I can think of another much faster way to get them down -

Well, this is on the front page of CNN.com
WFChris replied to bert425's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This morning I decided to mix things up and watch 'Fox And Friends.' Instead of learning about protests, militant action, and other important news, Fox kept showing BREAKING footage of the stranded Monorail that guests were eventually FORCED to evacuate from. Everything went according to protocol and everybody was safe but they were FORCED to evacuate!!! There was that story, along with a dog surfing competition for a grand prize of a $250 Petco Gift Card and some angry man's reaction to illegals cutting through his border-area property via a hole in his own fence that he admittedly is responsible for maintaining. I just hate it when news sources use the parks names to sensationalize their own news. The sting story that you posted hardly has to do with the Disney parks themselves, it's about the employees. And furthermore, it can only be assumed that Disney did the RIGHT thing by prosecuting those who were downloading on company computers. Of course, the article didn't want to spin it as Disney being proactive, no, just the fact that they worked for Disney in the first place. -
LOL 'nuff said!!!

I know SFMM has its up days and down days, but do you think that maybe being at the DLR for 2 days before visiting may have affected the visit? I just know it's hard going from one of the best themed and well run parks in the world to SFMM the very next day. I have found that when showing friends from out of town around, I like to do SFMM first, that way it 'seems' good and fun...until the visit to the DLR
