Photo TR:The Rays, Zombies, Haunt, Horror, and Mickey Oh my!
piers replied to jray21's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to try Haunt one year, though I would expect I will compare it to HHN the whole time... Looks like a great event though made even better by TPR presence! -
Erik & Smisty's Florida Oddventures

Howl O Scream is so amusing, I like that they add little words to the houses each year and reuse them as if they are new.. Speaking of which, when you mentioned a lot of the exits looked great, thats because after they have repeated the houses for a number of years they make you go through backwards to make you think it is something new, therefore the exit was originally the entrance! -

Edward's Tour Across Europe with TPR
piers replied to Edward's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Fun video Edward! I did have to stop it half way through though as the repetative music ending up making me want to kill myself. -

I can strongly recomend the Pinot Grigio at Fridays across the street before Ghost Rider, this gave me fantastic, painless rides. -

Atleast now we know the Topple Tower is still operational! It's usually always closed in people PTR's. -
This was one of my favourite trip days, it was so relaxed and we didn't rush but we still managed to do every attraction (except that terrible show...) I lost the shirt I was wearing there though and it was my favourite!

The Lady Gaga episode, I thought it was cringe worthy which is saying a lot coming from me. Also, I agree with Finn getting mad, thet gay kid throws himself at him and expects him not to react? Bitch please, not everyone is gay.

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

I actually think there probably is a difference, albeit insignificant. Saying potential energy doesn't change since the height of the structure is constant is totally legit - in terms of the y axis. At a certain point, there is no more positive velocity in the y-direction (a=g), so no matter how fast it was when it got there, its going to start the fall down at a velocity of 0, and end at the same negative velocity along the y-axis. Problem is that this motion is in 2 or 3 dimensions (I haven't been on Intimidator, so I'm not sure if there is a movement along the z-axis on the drop we're talking about). A roller coaster train crests the lift with positive velocity in the x-direction. I would *think* a change in initial x-velocity would result in a different final velocity in the x-direction. Of course, the greater the speed, the greater the drag. Then you have friction. And a variable payload. I was gonna say the exact same thing. -
Roller Coasters in the Raw HD! On Blu-Ray!

Yes! Sorry, but it's actually the one at Sarkanniemi (Intamin invert with the awesome underground inversion!) We do not have a POV of the Tornado at Bakken. --Robb Sorry, everything about Scandinavia confuses me! -
