Elissa at Theme Parks 20+ Years Ago!
Millenniumguy replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Now we need pictures of Robb when he was three. I wonder how insane he was and he'll be. Coasters where not part of his brain But Vekomas sure added to the pain Vekomas- Robb-3= -
Here in the vast abyss of the bloodsucking server lies the World Greatest Thread on a Coaster Bored. What a wonderful thing, just wonderful. I mean, we love Coaster Boreds. Anyway, the World's Greatest Coaster Bored has given me some ideas for a Great Thread. You say I am been evasive, even spamming, but the World's Greatest Adminstrator allows this,the World's Greatest Thread. For where else does the World's Greatest Thread lie? Certainly not on Coasterbuzz, where Jeff Puttz lies in the shadow of the mountain of doom. And of course not on CoasterForce, where Danny Boy doesn't like this stuff. And ARNR will curse me to death. So come and help me build the World's Greatest Thread on a Coaster Bored with the help of the donkey's ass and great tasty Budweiser which came out of the World's Greatest Administrator's house. so YEAH !!!!1111!!!!1111

Wow, Jetline really looks amazing. The entrance reminds me more of IOA then IB. Wow, what's amazing about Schwarzkopf is his wild and crazy turns. -
Oldest Coaster You've Ridden
Millenniumguy replied to MSLSM's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We got some old but good coasters here Leap the Dips(1902) Kennywood's Racer(1921) Thunderhawk(1923) Yankee Cannonball(1936) Hershey Park's Comet(1946) Haven't you guys noticed that most of the older coasters/parks are in the East? -
Name That Park!!

How dare you guess it! You googled? Oh, crap. -

Millenniumguy replied to CoasterExpert13's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Here's one designed for maximum difficulty. Guess this park(not the coaster), you never will.mwhahahahahaha! -
Cedar Fair buys PARAMOUNT PARKS!
Millenniumguy replied to Canobie Fan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What a surprise . I wonder now that Cedar Fair has a monopoly in Ohio, I wonder if they will go the old Rockefeller way, which is raise prices crazily. I wonder how Cedar Fair will be able to manage their parks. I mean, Geauga Lake, it's not doing all that great? Why would Cedar Fair acquire all these parks without "Cedar Fairizing" Geauga Lake? Dosen't this sound like history repeating? Remember 1998? (When Premier bought out Six Flags?) See where that led? Hmm, I'm not pessimistic(Cedar Point is my favorite park), I am just looking for the part people seem to forget. Mangement will be great, unlike Six Flags, but still isn't it a bit much for Cedar Fair? -
Wait, Giovanola made an invert?
Millenniumguy replied to Three's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Worm, you know how jealous I am of you? South Africa looks awesome and Anaconda looks like one great invert. Too bad there's only two amusement parks in South Africa. -

Millenniumguy replied to dubaidave's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I remember a park, callled Family Funways in Burnsville,Minnesota. It had this unstable-looking water flume, pot paraphenila in the souvenir store, and a "ride op" who follows you around from ride to ride. But Fantazy Land really beats good ol' Family Funways. -
Photo TR: Robb, Elissa, and TPR in Florida!!!
Millenniumguy replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
/\ Well I did find a very cheap flights from Orlando to Sacremento though that might be a stretch. It's not non-stop because you have to stop in SLC but it's cheaper and I never heard anything about Sacremento. ($212 from Sacremento-Orlando vs 332 from SFO to MCO,without the delays ) -
Photo TR: Robb, Elissa, and TPR in Florida!!!
Millenniumguy replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Great trip as always,Robb. How I wish I was down in Florida now, especially the belated New Jersey spring,grr. /\ Anyway, San Francisco is the most delayed airport in the country,so don't feel bad. I am surprised that there is no non-stop flight from San Jose/Oakland to Florida. I hear they are cheaper and more on time. -
Gardaland Pictures - July 2004
Millenniumguy replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh, I see. Cobb also designed this crap Rolling Thunder here in SFGAdv(my homepark), and it's awful. -
Yes, the distance from Hartsfield-SFOG is short. Just to point out about Hartsfield. From what I hear, it's a very bad airport. The immigration and customs are the worst of any US airport and it's the busiest airport in the world! (combined it makes for very slow lines, long lines and painful moments.)

TPR Theme Park
Millenniumguy replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think we need a flying monkey coaster. Especially make the theming by jumping from tree to tree. -
Wondering about when Americans go Back to School??
Millenniumguy replied to trustkill22's topic in Random, Random, Random
Here we get out 3rd week of June (LAST STATE), and go to school two days after Labor Day. Right now we are stuck in six weeks of agony until April 7(Spring Break). -
Gardaland Pictures - July 2004
Millenniumguy replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well dosen't Gardaland have Sierra Tonate? Which I believe is a CCI? Other then that looks like a Italian PCW -
Well, technically China considers Taiwan to be a province, but Taiwanese consider themselves as a independent country. It's a long story.

Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
Millenniumguy replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, it's nice to see the 4d design being work on despite Arrow's bankruptcy. Let's just see if this 4d is better. Besides, remember how long it was after Xcelarator, the second rocket? And then(now), the sudden rage of rocket coasters? -
Autistic high schooler scores 20 points in 4 minutes
Millenniumguy replied to Jonathan's topic in Random, Random, Random
Well, we autistic people focus on one thing at the cost of everything else. Which I always thought how the world works anyway. Bill Gates has been with Microsoft for 31 years, Warren Buffett took 40 years to be the richest investor, and Intamin and B&M did not get successful until a while. The problem, however is that we are so focused on something we forget the rest of the world exist and that's when problems arise. -
An interview with Mark Shapiro
Millenniumguy replied to TheGreatOne's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
People on this thread have been complaining about the fact that SF is trying to turn the parks into destination parks. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The park's over the last 45 years have built a reputation for thrill. We can talk about making more family friendly, which might work to a certain point, but really not far. As for resorts, well SF has this thrillday reputation and it's really not going to change soon. I am saying that if you want something, you have to built a reputation for it. -
An interview with Mark Shapiro
Millenniumguy replied to TheGreatOne's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Let's see what I would like to see park by park SFNE, How about focusing on lines and and actual park management? SFGAdv, Improve line capacity, clean up park SFA, Create a more family friendly enviroment SFOG, Build two kiddie coasters and a nice kiddie area SFNO, If you keep it, well make sure the standard of the park stays the same(at minimum) SFGrAM, ENOUGH COASTERS!,make the park more friendly to kids SFSTL, more flats would be nice SFOT, Massive cleanup campaign needed SFFT, We need a waterpark here and cleanup SFEG, Not much here SFMM, FLATS AND KIDDIES is needed SFMW, Not much here GE, not much here SFDL, ANOTHER COASTER FC, a solid kiddie area will work. -
Weird dream about SFMM
Millenniumguy replied to BarryH's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember a very wierd dream I had two nights ago, which had to be wierd because I NEVER remember my dreams . I was in SFMM, of all places, and the skyline was wacked out. I saw a boomerang, which I know SFMM doesn't have. The train and the track were both blue and it was going through the actual boomerang. Next, I saw Scream, going through what looked like the barrel roll. So, I walked across the parking lot, and all of a sudden came to California Scream'!!!. It was playing California Dreaming and the hill with the mickey mouse loop was far away. So I crossed the tracks , and ended up in Disneyland!! (No I didn't see the castle). We had free tickets worth $50 to get in. I still can't believe the attendent said "How much the tickets were worth?" And I can't believe I said $23!!! So we paid the $23 and we got burried by 3 dozen advirtisements. Just as I got into Disneyland I saw a hot girl from my school, oh how I wish, and I woke up because the dream was getting way too bizarre. -
Well, I don't think any park skyline beat CP, but Kennywood is a very unique skyline in the middle of nowhere.

The Worst Traffic in the US....
Millenniumguy replied to robbalvey's topic in Random, Random, Random
Well we do have traffic jams, there are worse.The Baltimore-Washington Conurbation is a pain, and Boston is a nightmare, especially with their antique 17th streets. And, I heard a Brit talk about the M25, well our New Jersey Turnpike, on Fridays is a pain. It can be blocked up for 30 miles, with people rushing home. Oh, and as for Dark Stitch there is a way to get to BGW and PKD without going through Washington. If you live in New Jersey you go on 295, 55, 9, the Delaware Bay Ferry, US-13 through DE and MD and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, then Take I-64 W. Or you can go on US-301 which is not as great but better, and then take I-95 s. (Yes, I look at maps, a lot ).
