What's so great about SFNE Bizzaro?
Speeddeamon128 replied to JDo217's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nothing. That ride is totally overhyped and I was really disappointed by it. I think it's not even close to being one of the worlds best rollercoasters. Agreed. It is a fun ride but I prefer Millennium Force and Behemoth over it (It's not even in my top 10). I haven't ridden "Bizarro" yet but I don't care since it is just a lame Six Flags makeover and the paint is probably starting to peel off like GADV's. -

That is exactly the reason why I'm not going back! Well Fright Fest as well since that event always draws big crowds. -

Anyone else prefer Vekoma SLC's?
Speeddeamon128 replied to jmccalip's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I really hate SLCs. There are so many of them & it is annoying. They are very rough (except for Morey's) and I never enjoy riding on them. I don't really even like BTRs. I think the inversions are to tight and for some reason always feel sick after I get off one. Also I feel the same about boomerangs as I do with SLCs. -

Trip 19: Six Flags Great Adventure September 25, 2009 Well it has been exactly a month since my last trip. Today is another sad day of my 2009 roller coaster season because it will be the last time I go to GADV until next summer! If you don't no yet I got accepted to the Disney College Program for Spring on 2010 as an attractions cast member & will be living in Florida from January-August! Yay for NO off-season Back to the TR. Today was season pass night & the crowds were light. Oh yeah, one of my good friends works at GADV & his ride is Superman. He said that Superman is CLOSED for possibly the rest season because the chain lift motor blew! Just letting everyone know. I arrived at the park at 4:45 & got on the first ride on El Toro of the day! I rode it 2x in a row in the back seat! Then I headed over to Kingda Ka which also was a walk on. I did everything I wanted to do & Skull Mountain was my 500th roller coaster ride of the year! Enjoy the pics: Before I bought my 2010 season pass I rode Nitro again which was my last ride at GADV until next August! It was a sad but fun day for me but I'm ready for an awesome October! Next weekend I'll be at HHN! WTF? So while in Bizarro's station the ride op really said,"Enjoy your ride on Medusa!" lol. Also some of the paint is already pealing off. Skull Mountain was ridden 5x today & it was my 500th time on a roller coaster this year! Ah Nitro I'll really miss this. Oh before Nitro I rode RMT. Goodbye GASM! Kingda Ka was freezing! 2x today. El Toro ran great today! 6x total. I'll miss this while I'm in Florida. GADV is ready for Fright Fest which I won't attend. I got a great parking spot! -

At least it is official now. I wonder what is going to happen to the Batman clone now or is the park just going to keep it? -

Matt Does West Coast 2009: Final Update!
Speeddeamon128 replied to Speeddeamon128's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Day 6: Universal Studios Hollywood, Scandia, & John's Incredible Pizza Today was a long 3 park day. We woke up bright & early & headed over to Universal Studios Hollywood for a backstage tour of Revenge of the Mummy along with ert. The tour was awesome. We got to see the control panel, the track with the lights on, & rode it with the lights on. Also Joey was there. Apart from the Mummy I rode Jurassic Park River Adventure which I thought was better than Orlando's. The Studio Tour was ok. I did some other rides like the Simpsons. After USH it was aff to Scandia. Scandia was a fun little park. The Screamer was intense & the Little Dipper was just a regular kiddie. The final park of the day was our bonus park John's Incredible Pizza with a Minor Mike coaster called Incredible Express inside. Enjoy the pics & video report: Did I mention their pizza was AMAZING! The piece on the right was peanut butter pizza & the sauce tasted like peanut butter! The left was Hawian! The both rocked! The Incredible Express! Oh & a credit! They had an awesome arcade. The final park of the day was John's Incredible Pizza (Riverside)! The Little Dipper full of dirty whores! The Screamer was intense. The park had the most rediculus signs I've ever seen in public. Off to Scandia the 2nd park of the day. I really enjoyed the Studio Tour however I didn't take that many pics of it. Even though it is a clone of Orlando's it is still a fun ride. This is why I like this Jurassic Park better than Orlando's. The falling Jeep & 2 T-Rex's! Why couldn't SFMM have these! They were awesome apart from the annoying audio playing again & again. A view of the lower section from above. Apollo 13 is one of my favorite movies of all time! After the Mummy Tour & ert (which I rode it 5x in a row) we headed out to explore the rest of the park. Main control area. This is s good place to be while the ride is in motion right? Nerd shot! The track! A train in the shop. Movie screen. More scenery. Some scenery. Dispatch Panel. The layout. Time for Revenge of the Mummy behind the scenes! Oh no everything is closed! City walk is completely empty! Here we are at Universal Studios Hollywood bright & early! -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Speeddeamon128 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'll hopefully be at KI in the middle of October. I'm also going to HHN next Saturday It will be interesting to compare the two events but I have no doubt that HHN will be better. -
First time going to CP in 3 weeks
Speeddeamon128 replied to Duke's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My advice will be for you to get the major coasters out of the way on Friday like MF, TTD, & Maverick. TTD is not reliable so ride that first. Then since you will be there all day Saturday you should be able to get all of the credits in.
