Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
sam06pr replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I love this thread...heres mine. I work at BGA so I get asked a lot of stupid question... At Scorpion...Guest: "Does the loop go upside down?" Me thinking: No it just jumps over it. Somewhere else... Guest: "At what time does the 2 O clock show start?" Me Thinking: WTF??? Guest: "When is it going to stop raining?" Me Thinking: When mother nature or God decide to stop it Guest: "Do these harness lock?" Me thinking: No they are just there for decoration -
Most thrilling drop?
sam06pr replied to RIP Psyclone's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sheikra back row edge or front row edge. its like injecting me with alcohol and getting high off from airtime.lol. I like those drop towers that take you up slowly and once you get up there it drops you instantly. -

So after one company announces where they will put a park, everyone else follows. lol. Hopefully this one will be a good one -
Hersheypark Announces Fahrenheit!
sam06pr replied to Meteornotes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Eh...I am not that impressed I was expecting more. But the ride looks cool, especially the Inverted loop (pretzel loop). Capacity is just going to suck. Hopefully it turns out good. For some reason I feel like Piraten at Djurs Sommerland looks more thrilling...I dunno. I think I complain too much. But yeah it looks good. -
Six Flags vs. Cedar Fair
sam06pr replied to RIP Psyclone's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
After everything that has been going on I'm going to side with SF parks. I think right now sf is a better company. -
Geauga Lake Discussion Thread
sam06pr replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm disappointed with this decision. I feel like cedar fair just wanted to buy the park to eliminate competition. I know it sounds kind of stupid but I think its true. I saw it coming, this place had a troubled history from the beginning. I think they should of just added on to the park but oh well. I hope that they at least make this to a top world class water park destination like....i dunno how to spell that water park from Texas.lol. But it seems hard to do since the climate limits it from operating a long season. Maybe CP will get rid of soak city and add more attractions. One day people can spend a day at the water park and then the next day people can go to CP. It will be a neat idea, they will just have to provide shuttle services, including KI, like they do in Florida. (or do they have that already?) -
Six Flags vs. Cedar Fair
sam06pr replied to RIP Psyclone's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I really can't say much because I only have been to one CF park, Cedar Point and 3 SF parks, SFGAdv, SFNE, and SFOT. From My experience I think CP's and SF's employee were not good. But I think CP employee were way much nicer. In terms of rides, CP does a good job to keep them running all day on a sunny day, SF did good for the exception of Mr Freeze and Batman and Robin the Chiller. Six Flags has better a theme. Both chains do not know how to keep things clean. I saw way too many spiderwebs at cp and the lake by Mantis was just nasty. A lot of old buildings that need to be retouched. Same goes for SF. Food is nasty at SF. CP's food was ok. So judging from my little experience i think Cedar Point beats all 3 sf parks that I have been to so far but that could change. Someone said earlier that Busch is their favorite chain. I have to agree, I think they are better than anyone since they keep up with everything. Cleanliness, Park safety, guest satisfaction, good rides, and good maintenance. -
Floorless Coasters: Just a gimmick?
sam06pr replied to RIP Psyclone's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Here is my 2 cent I think floorless coaster seem to enhance the ride more. let me compare: Kumba is an amazing coaster but I feel compacted, whereas Kraken I feel free, the sensation seems better because the feet dangle over the tracks and you can just swing them around.lol. When Sheikra went floorless I felt it was enhanced a lot more. Especially on the first row. I felt vulnurable not having the bar in front of me...so yeah they might be gimmicks but to me they are fun gimmicks. -
I think that they just want to keep us busy so that people do not figure it out or hacked in to their system (like what happened to Canada's Wonderland) They want to play with us so they make up something so we do not look at what actually is the real thing...I just decided that I will wait... I think it will be a 500ft tall dive machine with 11 inversions, with 11 seats across, 11 rows, 11 trains.

From what I heard the habitat was designed to keep the animals active. I am excited about this new area they needed to attract more families to the park after the addition of Sheikra. everybody will have fun, I mean I know I will. lol. I dont think LOD will be removed to make room for a big attraction, I wish that will happen thou. I just hope that by 2010 they can get a new coaster or a big flat ride.

2007 Golden Tickets Announced
sam06pr replied to CoasterFanatic's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
These awards never change...just once a blue moon something different wins on a small category. I think this poll is not that accurate. I really do not get how SFFT wins best show knowing that other park have more superior shows that are breathtaking and how does Knotts haunt wins best Halloween event(not that i have been there but...) Isn't Universals studios Halloween horror nights better? (at least from what I have heard from numerous people) it just gets tire to see many parks and rides to win the same awards. *cough cough* CP. *Cough cough* spider man -
Busch Gardens' Howl-O-Scream 2007
sam06pr replied to freestylenut's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
THANK GOD they are switching the entrance and exit for trapped in the walls. It was a mess last year. We had to close down the 4-d theather because of the large flow of crowd trying to get around trapped in the walls. The first night people got confused what was the queue for Cheetah Chase, Trapped in the walls, 4-d theather and even Sahara snacks and the small stand selling beer. Im happy they did not bring back control alt deceased(it sucked!) I am not happy that they brought back Pharaoh's Revenge it was bit weird and random. I dunno I did not like it. CANT WAIT!!!! -
Interesting. This park looks like is going to do good for the economy there. My friend was taking me to Colombia this December but I cant go so maybe next year I will go to Colombia and I will try to stop by. Now If only Puerto Rico can get a park like this it will be great but I dont think it will happen. there use to be a small park in a town called carolina and it had one medium sized coaster but then it closed (I am trying to find proof but I can't) How many coasters is this park getting? 3-5? btw...I am proud to speak spanish. No one has to learn a language if they dont want to. But thats something that should not be talked about on these types of forums.

Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
sam06pr replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This ride looks fun. Hopefully those trim breaks (evil) do not ruin the ride. It looks like it might have a lot of airtime. As for the trains....not a big fan of them. They look weird and pointless. I hope it does not cause any kind of problems. Overall it looks like Wonderland needed a brand new amazing coaster and what better addition than a B&M hyper. Looks like I might visit Canada just to ride that ride.lol -
Best maker of wooden roller coasters?
sam06pr replied to RIP Psyclone's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have not been on many woodies but from the looks of it the top 3 have to be GCI, Intamin, GG. My Favorite woodie is El toro and if intamin woodies are like that than Intamin is my fav. I Have only been on one GCI which is Gwazi. I think its good but I know it has more potential if it gets new trains. From what I see GCI's coaster look very fun. Its too early to decide if they are the best but from the looks of it they can sure get there. So I think so far I have to go with Intamin
