What is the worst Theme Park in the world?
DragonKhan replied to martinb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The worst I've been to is probably Holiday Park, but I'm sure it's not the worst by far! the again, SFKK wasn't that great either... Well, let's make that a tie then... -

Just not liking something and having a phobia is a big difference... I have Mycophobia Mushrooms

Uh? That's just another skin, a bit crappy one too... There are so many more skins, some of them fantastic, but also a bit hard to instal. Skins should also be tackled by people that kinda know what they do... But me, I'm a "classic style" user.....

I'll ride them if I get a good chance, but I don't HAVE to...

Okay, okay. I give you that

That's just because YOU know your OWN subject very well. They get other facts wrong as well, but we don't notice because we don't know, and even more so, don't give a crap! Just like most people in this article about coasters. Sad, but true, I know.

Lack of theme parks in Hawaii
DragonKhan replied to jumbach's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It wouldn't fit. Like said before, most people go there for other reasons. and having been to Hawaii myself I can also say there is a lot to do there that it shouldn't get boring. Hell, you can even go downhill skiing! -
Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
DragonKhan replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
A "ton" is metric. It is 1000kg or about 2204lbs. The US has "long" and "short" tons. A "long ton" = 1.12 short tons = 2240lbs = 1.016 (metric) tons. A "short ton" = 2000lbs = 0.907 (metric) tons. The short ton is the more used one of the two, but of course the metric ton is the most common. Go with the times and get rid of that ridiculos english system! It's really annoying! -

Don't you think that would have been the old steel trains? -
Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
DragonKhan replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
According to Tusenfryd's website, one train (3 cars) on Speed Monster weigh about 5 tons, so I think 4D coaster's train with 7 cars, 20 feet wide weigh A LOT I HIGHLY doubt that!!! -
Millenium Force
DragonKhan replied to MattJackson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe not airless, but nowhere on the ride you get "ejector air". I think you need to be taught what good airtime is It has air, but all it has is long, unintense floater air... But yes, me too doesn't like TTD as much as Millie... -
Millenium Force
DragonKhan replied to MattJackson's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not only in Japan, but also in Europe there are many, very old classics, that use a cable lift. But MF was the first one to use this modern version. Personally I absolutely LOVE MF (as many people might have noticed), but I can understand why people don't like. I'm an absolute speed freak, and on no other coaster do you get such a nice speed rush like on MF. I really don't care much about airtime. It's nice, but it's not a must for me. I just love how MF keeps up the speed on this huge length of track, and that without a single brakerun or trim in between until the end. So, if you absolutely love air and don't care about smooth, unintense and fast turns, then I see why you don't like it -
It depends on what else you eat... Everything is bad when eaten in masses. I eat a lot of junk food aswell, but I'm in good health. Just don't go overboard and don't use the popcorn as a replacement for regular meals. Then it should be no problem to "dig in"... And other good food should be no problem in Germany

Lego coaster (wow!)
DragonKhan replied to WillMontu's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Uhm... It actually is... He used the regular train tracks... Lego coasters are always a challenge. I've only seen a few, and this is probably the best attempt I know of... -

DragonKhan replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I guess MF is a coaster people love or hate. I can see why some don't like it. But beeing the speed freak I am... Same maybe for TTD and KK. While they give a great thrill, I see absolutely no reason to rank them very high... -

DragonKhan replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Agreed, doesn't really belong here as you also deleted my post... I just want to say I'm not trying to justify myself. It was wrong to bottom the coaster just because I hate the park. Nuff said... So back on topic... Anyone else glad to see Millie and Nemesis that high? And Lisebergbanan on #17! Score!!! But KK on 20 and TTD on 22? Not expected by me at least... -
Steel Poll Results are in
DragonKhan replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
First of all, there was no campaign... It is all personal opinion. If justified or not is a different story... Also, I have stated my reasons to bottom EGF several times. Look at the old Steel Poll thread... Yes, I understand, an I don't want to justify myself. After all this I realized I should not have bottomed EGF just because i hate the park it is in for handling it the way they do, but actually rate in correctly (which would still be far from #1). Many of you don't understand the problem I have with the park. The only ones that can are regular visitors, germans... This is not about the coaster and how it got boring with too many rides, but about the park. Which why it is wrong that I did that, considering it should only reflect the coaster itself and not the park it stands in. so I take full blame in that... But my opinion of the park doesn't change. And it makes no sense explaining since you'd have to be there several times... -

DragonKhan replied to ParkTrips's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm not blamming Mitch for that he cancelled my vote, or similar votes. I even expected it! I think it's wrong though, to EXPECT EGF to be best, and cancel votes that fall out of the usual order! That happens to other coasters too, did he cancel votes that were "too low" there too? Besides... There was no "campaign"... I did not ask people to do this. Everyone, (at least me) did that on their own... So you think that not just one, but a bunch of people, think it should not be up there anymore is coincidence? Yes, yes, it's all opinions. I respect others, and I think you should also respect mine. While I might not rank it last, it would be very low on my poll this year. Maybe I should've done that, you're all right hen it comes to that...
