  1. I've had a few of those moments... Acrophoba was one. I have a thing with drop towers, my mind doesn't like them very much, and the "Standing" and tilting was enough to set my nerves into overdrive. Deja Vu was another, going up the first lift the second time and stalling (I happened to be in the front row), I thought my restraint was going to fail and I was gonna become part of the cement below. The other was Bug Out at Wild Adventures... (A Wild Mouse), it turns out that our restraint didn't lock and kept coming up the whole ride. My friend and I were holding onto the side of the train and holding the lapbar down as well. We told the Ops when we got back to the station, they closed the ride for 15 minutes and inspected the train... they then taped off the front row with caution tape and took it off the ride. Turns out there was something faulty with it. The biggest "I'm gonna die" moment was on a "Skyscraper" ride (Those big windmill looking rides). It was at the fair that comes into town each year. The restraint looked like a metal pipe bent into an OTSR, it was about 1 to 1.5in in thickness and bairly came to my stomach... there was no "Crotch hump" on the ride so when it was flipping I kept slipping underneath the restraint. The seatbelt thing to help keep the OTSR in place was the only thing keeping me from falling out at times. I never got on that ride again... and my knuckles have never been so white
  2. 146 Gays and counting, lol.
  3. I'm gonna be going on that, Insanity and Big Shot at the end of this year, I can't wait... after I ride them I'll get back to this thread
  4. Mellow Mushroom wins for the kill
  5. There is an Immelman on Wildfire and Sheikra as well...
  6. Batman @ SFOG Montu without Trims or Deja Vu
  7. This morning as I was getting up, I went to the kitchen to grab some Orange Juice. I was pouring it when I felt a viberation, my mom was near me and I asked her if she felt it, she said no. About 30 minutes later on the news they were reporting an earthquake that happened in the Gulf of Mexico... 6.0 intensity. I know this doesn't seem like much, especially to the Californian's in here, but I thought it was strange having felt an Earthquake here in Orlando. Did anyone else in Florida feel it? I heard it was stronger along the coast, especially in Tampa. (And to think, I was going to be at Busch Gardens when it hit, ha) MOD EDIT: Topic changed to make sense -Disneyfan1313
  8. .... But The Skool isn't going to be there this year, Erik And yes, excellent P:TR. I want to get over to Dollywood sometime, maybe next summer.
  9. It was probably noted in an earlier post.... but I have to work and don't have time to search back... LOL @ Trims after launch!
  10. Wow... this ride looks like rubbish! Hey... someone had to complain... just like everyone did for Griffon...
  11. I have the link still up and the video plays (But it doesn't play for my friends).. it sucks because I don't know how to save videos from YouTube, I don't think you can. I tried filming it with my video camera, but my video camera doesn't want to work correctly, oh well...
  12. Grr! I'm the angriest of them all!
  13. I saw them open up for Distrubed not too long ago, they were alright... better than the other crappy band that opened.
  14. That had to be one of the longest sentences ever. I don't know why that was so funny.
  15. Damn... I'm sorry Elissa. Why don't you an Robb just move somewhere? Well, nevermind, I guess with the music that loud you could hear it anywhere. Have Robb give him one of his "Looks"... that'd surly scare him!
  16. Yep, it's a goner! Looks like the bridge connecting they Python area and Congro River Rapids is going too Here's the proof: Thank you ScreamScape
  17. They're going to break the record for the most inversions. That's the only possible choice now. Remember the sign "You all up for some serious Sidewindin'!?" ... probably talking about barrel rolls. If you think about it, Colossus in Thorpe Park doesn't take up that much space and has 10 inversions, it wouldn't be hard for CP to break that inversion record at all.
  18. All we got were some gusts and rain... I still had to work
  19. Finally got my depost in... hopefully not too late.
  20. Ugh, paypal doesn't want to accept my bank account... so I have to wait 2 - 3 days before it does. Hopefully it doesn't fill up that soon! Mike *Trying to get depost in ASAP but paypal is being crap* Redig
  21. Oooo... *Waits patiently for flier to come in E-mail*
  22. Wah, want a bottle? Again, they used the land they had the best they could... and if you watched the animation, it seems like there is an airtime hill after the second Immelman.. but again, it's B&M, so it may just be a "Floater Hill" if that.
  23. Yeah, why did you post that when there are 5 pages prior that point all that out? Anyways, Like SheiKra or unlike SheiKra... it's a new credit next year for me and it looks like a damn sweet one at that. Oh, and I think the track gauge is going to be the same... there are three seats "Hanging off" the track on each side, SheiKra only has two on each side that do.
