Wow, then this thing should be just as bad ass as Extreme Rusher! I really, REALLY hope S&S will build more of these in the US..especially after hearing so many great things about Powder Keg. Maybe we will see these new 4across seated trains too! Another photo. Will it use the same trains at Extreme Rusher? Looks like it in the renderings! Very cool.

I stumbled upon this ride on RCDB, and can't believe this ride hasn't had more press. It looks similar to S&S's recent crazy project, Extreme Rusher (http://rcdb.com/9140.htm) at a sister Happy Valley. Well, it seems like Happy Valley Shenzen is getting an awesome S&S coaster now! It doesn't say if it's launched or not, but here's some photos! Anyone else have more info on this coaster? Shangrila Snowfield..interesting! http://rcdb.com/9442.htm

I've been on: -Raptor -Afterburn/Top Gun -Batman (SFOG) -Batman (SFGAm) -Batman (SFOT) -Great White (SWSA) -Goliath (SFFT) Out of all the Batman clones, SFGAm's and Great White stood out the most to me. I liked how SFGAm's had a different setting, over the water and such. Great White was crazy intense! The least impressive was Goliath. Was very tame...and kind of shaky. Raptor and Afterburn are both amazing; but haven't been on Afterburn since '05 or so. I need to get on a new B&M invert!!

Agreed! Totally though Bull was going to be the 'pushover' B&M hyber, but man was I wrong! Thanks for the comments, it was fun riding with you!

More form the Intamin site... Check out Maverick...complete with the barrel roll! Can you find what else has been changed? Coughstengeldivescough

Last batch. It was nice meeting everyone, and thanks Robb and Elissa for an awesome event! Mmm..sexyness 88.bmp Get ready for a loonnnggg way down! Lots of airtime! Up into the first huge turn around Who isn't having fun??? 92.bmp Another great Arrow over here! couldn't get many photos of it. Ah, I've been hearing many good things and been waiting a while to ride this! Wow, what a classic! Lots of fun, and great for the family. Nothing AMAZING!!! but all great fun. Loved the low to the ground sections! Cool ride. Deals at Six Flags? BULL! Some Schwarzy goodness Loved the setting! Very different, and perfect for families. See? And still thrills! Thanks for viewing everyone!

I came in like, almost last haha. I hadn't done it before....and no trading didn't help!!

If San Antonio Sam isn't in this, then I'll mess with Texas.

More photos! Everyone having an awesome time on Raging Bull! Nice little floater airtime in the back seat coming down the trimhill Pretty colors! Cheesy face! Great airtime moment off the MCBR! The front seat does offer some great views and some nice moments of air. But the back steals the show! This little turning swoop and dive is almost IDENTICAL to Diamondback's helix and drop into the watersplash. Very interesting. 73.bmp And both moments on both coasters offer GREAT airtime in the backseat! To the windowwwww....TO THE WALL! Oh wow...why aren't there more pre drops? But again...Diamondback and Raging bull both have a similar level intensity of airtime on the first drop! My, what a colorful arm you have! Now THAT is an awesome first drop! Can't you tell? Mmm can't forget about Viper either...running JUST as good as Bull. After the rain..WOW. 79.bmp Viper SPEEDS around this turn and then EJECTS you over that little hill...then throws you out of your seat over and over again! GO RIDE THIS RIDE!!! 80.bmp Aiiirrrrrtime! Underrated ride right here! This ride hauls ass! Pretty! Although there was a HELLUVA storm later. My first ride we saw HUGE lightning bolts going up the hill. Great laterals, great airtime, smooth, awesome ride! Mmm...more bull! I'm pretty sure I got double digit rides in. One of the best first drops out there! One more batch of photos to come!

It worked on my Internet Explorer yesterday....not on this Macbook Pro's Safari today! Looks like a nice little design. I'm sure it will be put up in a park sometime soon. Who knows where!

Yeah Diamondback and Bull are verrryyy similar. I was surprised Bull had some strong airtime moments! And it was very, very smooth. The trim didn't ruin the ride for me, or bother me...but it bothered me because of what it could be. It COULD have added an insane, huge airtime hill, and another airtime spot dropping down from the swooping turn, a powerful turnaround before the midcourse probably slowed it down a lot more. Not sure how the ride would have been changed from there on. Easily one of the best, if not THE best ERT session ever! Shockwave ERT at SFOT is hard to beat! Another update later tonight! Please comment! And hoping to see some names of people I met! -Zach

Another batch of photos. Happy New Year! 37.bmp Nerves go up as you go up! 38.bmp This drop tower was pretty damn tall! I forget how big it really was. 39.bmp Ka-chunk 40.bmp Ah, the perfect feeling. 41.bmp Mmm..let's head over to Bull! 42.bmp Lots of fun on this smooth, unique coaster! 43.bmp Another look back to American Eagle Weee! Lots of airtime, very fast too. Crazy ride! Bull's crew is AWESOME! Very efficient. I'm a fan of the old and new trains. They're the same level of comfyness! I liked the different colored restraints too. This coaster is cool in pretty much every way. Crraaazzzyyy fun! This backstage tour is awesome! Coming out of the second turn around Coming off that MCBR at night in the back row when it doesn't grab....WOW! 52.bmp Front row was fun...but the back seat is 10x better. I can see why this is called a "hyper twister" Mmm...nice and twisty! Hey Andrew, remember that weird airtime coming down from the slow diving turn after the trimmed hill? It was weird but neat! Stairway to B&M heaven! Artsy fartsy What a great day for great coasters with great friends! Pretty! I think a Single Rider Line should be a staple for every B&M hyper I LOVE how the seats are so high most people have their legs dangling. Just adds to the experience when you're 200ft in the air Kristen doing a Fresnoian rap! You gonna spit somethin' back? Wow...down near the finale, looking up at everything. VERY cool! More to come soon!

Happy New Year Schlittertweeps.. Stay tuned for BIG 2011 news." Posted 10 minutes ago. Here's there Facebook page to follow! http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1782042678 Can't wait to see what they have in store for 2011...the one of the best parks I've ever been to is Schlitterbahn. Don't mess with Texas! Perhaps it's another re-theming of an old ride? Something new from Proslide or White Water West?

I've been on Raging Bull, Diamondback, and Goliath (SFOG). Bull was hauling ass after it rained, and it was absolutely incredible during ERT. It was fun in the front...but AWESOME in the back seat. It was very different, and that's what made it good, I think. It can totally see how B&M picked apart this ride and used some elements that worked really well and pretty much made other B&M hypers out of them. Diamondback's helix and drop into the watersplash is almost identical to Bull's turn and drop after the hill after the midcourse. I loved the first drop and tunnel. Sometimes the MCBR grabbed hard..sometimes hardly none at all. And when it was hardly none at all it gave great airtime. I'm so pissed at those stupid trims. IF those trims weren't there...man, it would go from an AWESOME ride to an OMFG awesome ride, in my opinion. I loved Bull, even though the trims totally killed the nice big airtime hill. It had a great start, not too shabby middle, and great finish speeding low to the ground. Not as powerful as Goliath, not as airtime packed as Diamondback (or Goliath), but I still think they all bring something different to the table that makes them all equal. Bull isn't about airtime, it's about crazy twists, and different elements, which I think B&M made to see how smoothly the coaster ran through each element. Whichever element they liked best, I think they picked out and used to create another design. Very similar elements between Diamondback and Bull.

At least you're didn't get your tonsils out and are spitting up blood everywhere! Thanks for the report, Scott, everything there looks amazing. Monorails look great as well! Happy holidays! -Zach

Yeah, I have a few things I could say. Ha..

Accidentally skipped a few photos...please COMMENT! And if you see yourself or remember meeting me...post your name so I remember who you are! Enjoy, -Zach 1.bmp Heading over for our behind the scenes tour! Dan was showing EVERYONE his weiner this day. And he has a creepy fascination with me, I don't know why. I think he loves jizz. Big Mike LOVES something is this picture...do you know what it/who it is? Jo and her hoard of ...well, I'm not even going to go there! Get your ice cold Superman Ride of Steel! Just 4.75. Jakizle has a nice ass. Weeee pretzel loop! And some nice curves. I was one of the stragglers We took a tour though the junkyard, then came up behind Iron Wolf 12.bmp I see TPR members! Skipping the backstage tour to ride Iron Wolf? Makes about as much sense as Prince Desmond! I honestly didn't have that bad of a ride on Iron Wolf. It was actually pretty fun! Where else do you get this close to the coasters? GO ON A TPR TRIP NOW! Mmm...B&M curves. Hahahahaha After Iron Wolf, we walked around to American Eagle! Demon was a nice little surprise. It was very smooth, and a great little ride! A nice classic. I had never been on an Arrow with those HUGE handle bars. Why do they have those? So weird. 20.bmp Their drop tower was awesome. I love second gens. 21.bmp Heading over to go backstage by AE 22.bmp Still had yet to hit Raging Bull...looking great in the new paint! 23.bmp You can only get this close to American Eagle with TPR! Looks like I should throw AE into the "Ride that need a make over in 2011" thread 24.bmp Words can not describe the people in this group. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing! More good thing 25.bmp Here comes the train! 26.bmp You're doing it wrong!!!! 27.bmp There ya go 28.bmp The ride looked very impressive standing right next to it. 29.bmp You can really see the age in this picture 30.bmp Big woodie! 31.bmp Prefab or classic wooden coaster...Intamin knows how to make awesome rides! 32.bmp It was pretty damn hot outside. 33.bmp Hey Hanno! 34.bmp Freshen up this ride, Six Flags! 35.bmp Hmm...looks similar to the new texas giant! 36.bmp And more photos to come soon!

The first video was taken down due to copyright issues, lol.

Son of Beast. What a piece of shit.

Flight Deck/Top Gun swings to the 90* mark or beyond a few times. I wish it was longer though. I'd love to see a new suspended coaster pop up...especially something like Eagle's Fortess....damn that ride looked nucking futs! Iron Dragon has one nice little swing at the end...which is still weak compared to Top Gun. Fun though! I've been wanting to go to BGE ever since I learned about theme parks and coasters. I have a book I got from 1998 that raves about Alpengeist, Wolf, and Lochness. Still am dying to go there even though it's gone, but now they have Griffon and they're talking about this new launched coaster..so I can wait. (But not really!)

What's the difference between those rides and a family raft ride at the local water park? By the way, there's no page 8 to this thread yet, haha.

Six Flags Chicago with TPR!

I think I know why the title of this forum has been "Theme parks, roller coasters, and SHEESH!" Now. Haven't made it to BGE yet, but BBW looked like fun, especially since I think Flight Deck/Top Gun is a pretty bad ass ride. Iron Dragon, on the other hand, not so bad ass. More...mellow and timid.

Merry Christmas TPR! I just got my tonsils out yesterday, so I had some downtime to get this photo tr going! I got the opportunity to make it up to Great America for the TPR Midwest Bash back in August! I had a great time thanks to Jamesdillaman and his wife for taking me up to the park; not to mention it was fantastic to see all of my TPR friends and make tons of new ones! Please post if I talked to you so I can connect TPR names to faces! KYLE! I know you're watching from Great America, say hi sometime! Thanks for making everything happen man! And thanks to Robb and Elissa for the event! As always, enjoy the photos and reviews. Zach Ah, SF Chicago! So happy to be here. Many TPR members sleep in their own vans. Oooh, sorry guys...the green light is for TPR members only! Time to head into the park for ERT on Superman! Sorry Vekoma, you've been beat on this one. Speaking of B&M.. Raging Bull. Wow things I've heard about this ride were WRONG! cute Ofcourse a very nice looking SF park! Bourbon Street, I wonder what attractions are here? Ah, drunk Divv my favorite! (photo from Hanno) I hadn't been on a Superman since '08...very refreshing ride! Speaking of dissapointments. I'd like to say sorry for not believing the bad hype about this ride! It was retarted! LOL! Great effort...but why the still cutouts on a wild mouse? The restraint really dug into my leg around the corners, too. Superman Ultimate...country house? Ah...the first B&M invert. (Right?) This Batman was AWESOME! Weeee! Crawfish-roll Mmmm The naked train going through the zero-g! What a fantastic ride. I loved how it went over the water. Gyyaahhhhh intensity! Yellow! I am really bummed I didn't get to check out the holding break. That would have been cool Cha-CHING! I love log flumes, and this one was so much fun! Dan-friendly! View heading back to the picnic area Sploosh! Who got wet? The off season sucks, by the way Fun for everyone! Ask me about my weiner! After lunch and a Q&A, it was time for the backstage tour...which was about 2 hours. SFGAm Management kicked ass! Look out for that pretzel! Super smooth riding. Take note Vekoma! Yummy. Clouds starting to roll in, too. I would do naughty things to sit where those kids are sitting! LOL! Going up! Helllooooo More to come!

Biggest Disappointment? Probably the Timberliners not getting on this year, I was really looking forward to that. -Diamondback's odd B&M hyper rattle.
