Best Theme Park Chain
pkdcoaster replied to vertgforces's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well this was a tough one... but I think 6 flags gets my vote just becuase they build more thrill rides....and that is what I like.... I not really a big fan of Disney....I would rather have more rides than a really big themed one. JEFF -
How did you end up here???

Used to read RRC and Robb was always there with his links to his sweet Videos....This board is light years better than RRC JEFF -
Retro GADV pictures from 1995(i think)
pkdcoaster replied to deguy123's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Thanks for the pics...I love seeing Retro pics from parks....It amazes me how quickly Theme parks change. JEFF -
I use Windows Movie Maker...It is Free with Windows XP (it is under Programs-Accessories) It is very straight forward and easy to use and learn. It does use ALOT of memory though when you have alot of clips to work with so save often...it has an auto save feature..mine is set at 3min just in case JEFF

I think that you are born a Homesexual or straight...alot of people have this idea you can just turn it off like a switch....but from all the gay people I know ..this is not the case.... As far as Religion goes....I think it is kind of a dumb comment to say you are not going to "heaven" just cause you are gay....and usually it is the same people that say you could kill a thousand people but as long as you accept Jesus you will go to "Heaven". I believe as long as you are a good person inside then you are fine.....I am not going to state all of my beliefs about church and God but I think people need to listen to themselves and what THEY think is RIGHT rather than what some Preacher/Priest/Bible/etc. says. Does anybody think about how peaceful this world would be without Religion??? JEFF

Best Drop Ride!!!
pkdcoaster replied to coaster_shorty's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
hmmm...Blue Fall sounds a little too much like Mean Streak to me JEFF -
Best Drop Ride!!!
pkdcoaster replied to coaster_shorty's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
you gotta be a little more specific than that...there are 5 Paramount Drop Zones (4 over 200ft) JEFF -

Favorite Togo coaster (is it Bandit?)
pkdcoaster replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So be people's reaction's I would say top 3 Togo's are probably Bandit, Fujiyama and Megacoaster. JEFF -
Well I was gonna put this in Ask Alvey but I am sure quite a few of you have been to Japan and ridden most of them. From what I have seen on videos and such it seems like Bandit would be the best...but I never hear much about it. So is Bandit the best Togo or does anybody think another one is better? pics of Bandit http://www.rcdb.com/ig1218.htm JEFF

Best Drop Ride!!!
pkdcoaster replied to coaster_shorty's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Man I could not believe PKD's Drop Zone got such little love....long fall and alot less wind resistence due to the redesign of the saucer from PKI's "parachute"...plus the Brakes are really low on PKD's DZ Note in the photo how the wind is allowed to flow through the saucer and how PKD decided not to install all the brakes JEFF -
B&M vs Intamin
pkdcoaster replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
well I think that ever since 2000 B&M have gone down hill as far as thrilling and wild coasters go...their coasters are still fun and smooth but not thrilling. Some B&M's have aged really well like Raptor...just seems to get faster every year...but B&M put a cold stop to that happening with any new coaster with the trims installed every 500 feet. So even though Intamins have a bad luck safety record. I think Intamins are much more thrilling. JEFF -
First Coaster of the Season

Easy one there... Six Flags America's "Grand" Opening in 1999 I remember April 30th (day before) I was happy to go to see what new things were done to the park...then on the 6 o'clock news they said the park would not be open may 1st and 2nd....the night before...crazy. So May 8th was the big day...That place was so packed that you could not even move and the only thing open was Roar and another flatride for the first 3 hours...no places to get food either...pure madness... Jokers jinx opened at 2:00pm with a 3.5 hour line (1 train) mind eraser opened about the same time, 2 face never opened nor did wild one.....they were just giving away return tickets onyour way out....what a crazy day. I rode Jokers Jinx once then left (I was camped out at the Q ever since 11:00a) JEFF

Are you an official ACEer?
pkdcoaster replied to Superdasher's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I used to be a member a long time ago.. but since the internet it seems kind of pointless to me. You can get way more much faster with the internet and most of the better events are park sponsered. Their Cons are so big that it really does not feel like ert to me..... but I am not knocking it if somebody else really enjoys the club. I just don't see a point anymore. JEFF -
He would be the 2nd leader of the website?? He is the last person I would have thought he was refering to JEFF

Job Well done...I would frame that puppy! JEFF

Grizzly's entrance is in the same place...but the Q goes straight through past the skyflyer and the exit is right next to it. (it does not dump you off in the arcade anymore) JEFF
-
/\ yea for a cool $90 haha (but I guess smokers do not mind burning $1,000's of dollars away anyway...at least this really does look cool) JEFF

Nice TR man I was 1 second away from creating mine but I will keep it all on one thread and add my pics. Well they rearranged Grizzly's Q line for the new go cart track. I met Chuck (CFC) at noon and we had a great time...a very nice day at the park. Most rides had problems staying up but unbelievably XLC stayed up all day with no probs...crazy. Hurler was down for re-tracking in the first turn (Thank God) Shockwave's 2nd train was MIA as in not even there..but it did look nice I will let the picture do the talking now. I was able to take some cool footage and POVs at the park today...check the video forums later JEFF leaving the park I decided to go to doswell drive...still too many trees IJ New grizzly Q new go cart site (more trees leave grizzly =( ) same Richochet (sadly) New Hurler work Still the best drop ride IMO Volcano duh Helix pre dumb parking deck prop DZ XLC IJ Cheesy Chopper and the Yell IJ IJ & Anaconda
