  1. I personally think that one with the funny spinner launch thing looks the coolest. Otherwise, the all in one- thing is pretty sweet.
  2. OK, I'm going to Florida on winter break and we were going to do Disney and BGA. But we would be there New Years weekend or Christmas weekend. Is it worth it, or should we go later (or to Universal or some other place)? Thanks, HobbesX2
  3. Viper- SFMM TTD- CP SOB- KI Mindbender, and the boomerang at EG Some Kiddie Coasters at places. Tons of little parks (Santa Claus Land, Six Gun City, Martins Fantasy Island, etc...) that I passed on my road trip
  4. Vortex wasn't bad. I rode it a few weeks ago. (That reminds me again, I got to post my PTR)
  5. I've never gone into a ghetto fair, but I've passed plenty (that reminds me, I got to get my road trip TR up). The only one that looked nice was the Toronto one. Anyway, cool TR. Can't get enough of those ghetto fairs and missed credits.
  6. God, why are people so stupid? I mean come on, how stupid can you get?!? Katun better stay open. It wasn't anyone's fault but the stupid persons.
  7. I'm stuck between CP and KI CP Best: Maverick Worst: Mean Streak KI Best: Firehawk Worst: Avatar: Last Airbender
  8. My brother is barely tall enough for 48 inches and he loves coaster! My sister is 53 inches but we can sneak her on almost any 54 incher. She loves coasters as well. As I rarely have the right schedule to go with friends, they're my main riding partners
  9. WOF is definately getting something soon. Not sure if it's a rollercoaster, but they have cleared trees near the camper place. You can see it from the Mamba and Timberwolf, and the size of it is just right for a compact GCI twister. Probably not for Spring next year, but Fall (as unusual as it is for an opening) makes sense.
  10. 1. Tatsu (Six Flags Magic Mountain) 2. Mr. Freeze (Six Flags St. Louis) 3. Riddler's Revenge (Six Flags Magic Mountain) 4. Half Pipe (Elitch Gardens) 5. Screamin' Eagle (Six Flags St. Louis) 6. Mamba (Worlds of Fun) 7. Boss (Six Flags St. Louis) 8. Revolution (Six Flags Magic Mountain) 9. X (Six Flags Magic Mountain) 10. Deja Vu (Six Flags Magic Mountain) Man, I really need to get more involved with the TPR Forums. I'm spending all my time over here

  12. I'm surprised no one's said this is a useless topic yet. But as far as I can tell, it's better. And Timberwolf doesn't have an MCBR!
  13. OK. Here's the story. About 2 months ago Timberwolf was closed for a couple weeks. After the supposed 'revamp' people got on and found out it was no different. About 2 months later (now) the Timberwolf has magically decreased it's roughness and increased its speed and is actually an amazing ride, especially in the front row. OK, now I've told someone. I'm happy now. Yah, I know, this is a pretty useless topic, lock it if you want, but don't delete it please.
  14. No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. I don't think it was in Ayr, unless that's another name for some Glasgow suburb like Newton Mearns or East Kilbride or something. Also, it wasn't last year. It was a few years ago or something. I'm surprised by the amount of people that live or have been to Scotland at the forums. These really are huge forums.
  15. I'm pretty sure the Twist & Shout was my first looping coaster too, back a few (really more than a few) years ago when I was younger and I went there on some camp or something.
  16. I thought I spelled Wales wrong. It didn't look right. I wish I could have crossed into England, but I had to stay put, sadly. Next time I think I'm going to go by way of London, meaning a trip to Alton Towers will be in order.
  17. I didn't really mean to insult Scotland and Whales, I just needed to exagerate to Americans how, well, different those countries are. If I just said Scotland wasn't that good, they would probably try to back Scotland up by saying "it's probably better, you just had bad circumstances". Americans: Scotland is almost always the same. I have never encountered any thing drastically different during any of my trips. That's why bad circumstances are impossible. It's always the same.
  18. ^I wish my park would get one too. They're so much fun!
  19. Here's my pictures from Loudoun Castle (pronounced louw den). It actually wasn't pretty boring, it was pretty fun. I went with my cousin and we got on every thrill ride they had, and I think I got at least one picture of each one. Anyway, the pictures (and commentary) will tell the story. Entrance to park. It started out pretty cold but warmed up very fast. This picture is taken from where you just get through the castle remains and get to the amusement park section. You can also see one of those little kid driving car rides. Shot taken from the onlookers area in front of the que. Twist and Shout is a pretty decent ride. Pretty classic view of a pretty classic ride. Great wild mouse (called Rat), with some great airtime- yes, airtime- inducing hills at the end. A very enjoyable ride. This was a weird ride. It's a chair swing surrounding a blue- cheeselike moon. My cousin said it was rubbish (now I'm speaking Scotlandish), but I needed to go on it so I can report how it was. I took the camera on to the Rat, but I'm not very experienced at POV shots and put the camera away after I'd taken a picture at the top, so it wouldn't be jerked away. I took this picture from the top of the ride. You can see some of the attractions at the end of the park, after you'd walked about a mile to get to it. Also, there's a shot tower being built in the back of the park. Look hard and you will see. By the looks, S&S, but I may be wrong. Work is going at a decent rate, as they got at least 20 feet built onto it when I was there. Swinging ship. Not very intense, but fun nonetheless. From on the Cheesemoonlameswing. Quite boring, but on the other hand, no one really bothers to enforce the rules at this park so one gut jumped off his swing near the end of the ride, got a running start, and hopped into the swing a few in front of him. It was quite funny. Rat and big dead tree. Weeeeee. Also, when we were on the ride, the car in front of my cousin was empty, so it kept swinging back beside of it having less momentum or something and hitting here. She managed to grab on to it and hold it there, but my camera wouldn't switch on in time so I didn't get a picture. Here is the log flume designed to get you wet, although magically leaving you DRY. Anyways, we were glad because it was still pretty cold. Swinging ship again. NEXT. Fun spinning ride, in the enclosed section opposite Twist and Shout. Somewhat like an octopus. Crazy ass carousel. As you may see, there are no poles for the horses so they have this weird thing under the horses that actually tilts the forward and backward, as well as slightly up and down. Plus, it was revved up to superspeed. Awesome Enterprise. It's secluded at the back of the enclosed area and is hard to find but is still kiss ass. One of the few rides that had names, the Black Pearl is a painful yet effective and fun inverter. Revved up bumper cars or dodgems, however you want to call them. Lots of bruises to be passed around, especially when I got rammed in the front by two cars going at top speed in the same direction. Almost broke my camera. Black Pearl, mini wheel, crowds, and whatnot. I like small parks where everything is pretty much walkon. I got the longest lines from the Dodgems and Rat. Must have a through the trees shot somewhere. Wow, Schwartzkopf really liked his circular loops. Hey, I think I spelled Schwartzkopf right without looking! Must have a picture of the land of boring, Scotland. Ugh, I'm so glad I don't live here. Sorry if I insulted any Scots (who tend to prize their little miserable dump of a country. Hey, at least it's way better than Whales.) Signature shot. Everybody call their publishers, I got me a picture worth of a book cover. Rat. Again. NEXT. Again. Good picture of both rollercoasters. You can see how far apart the two sections are. Also, this shows that someone else has at least a decent interest in rollercoasters. Bamboozler ride or something. At least that's what it's called at WOF. I like being allowed to get out of your restraints and walk around on the ride before it is finished. Actual castle. As seen from when we leave. We had only spent something like 4 hours here, but it pooped us out. Leaving, as seen from arch. As seen from front. Cool marble run thing me and my cousin created at my other cousins house. It involves a lot of patience, and a decent physics knowledge. Notha shot. Last shot. End of my PTR. NOW COMMENT!. Just kidding. LOL.
  20. OOH, yay. I've heard of most of this stuff. Except the Timberwold renavating rumor. If it's true, I guess I'll have to give up my oath not to ride it or Boomerang anymore. Wait, new GCI for 2008!?! Awesome! Where would it go? That parking lot next to Mamba that no one ever uses? My only hope for a new ride was if the watchamacallit flying dutchman at geauga lake would come to WOF, but I guess not. Sorry, I can't keep up on the rumors anymore. Too much school work. I think that this is one of those threads that only Kansas City or surrounding city places residents would look at. Everyone else would be like, "wow. new bathrooms." Only WOF peoples could really appreciate this, I think.
  21. Well, this is good news! At first I didn't really believe jamesissocool (I have a habit of not trusting people) but now I guess I should!
  22. Thanks! I'll be sure to put it on the opening post!
