Hersheypark In The Dark
Speeddeamon128 replied to bigstevet07's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've never been to the event but plan on going November 1st. What I can say is that the weather might be chilly possibly in the 50s so bring a coat. Also Hershey Park is very popular and since Halloween is that Saturday expect a decent amount of people. -

V2 does not go upside down it just flattens it out: Also Pilgrim's Plunge isn't a credit -

Awesome update! The peanut butter pizza at John's Incredible Pizza was awesome! I agree I thought USH would be bigger than it was. -

^Lol yes I'm making a video for every park. I'm just saying the Techno music in Riddler's station was annoying because it went continuous for 25 minutes playing the same beat over & over again while the ride broke down. Next week's video is Universal, Scandia, & John's Incredible Pizza. I'm still not sure if I'm combining all three parks or not in one video. -

Actually I prefer Riddler over Mantis & the TOGO's of death in KD & CW. The only bad part about Riddler is the way the station is designed & the annoying techno music. I found a video of the X2 audio on Youtube & ripped out just the audio & converted it to an mp3 format. I actually think El Toro is overrated. Sure it is a good ride but I prefer the classic woodie feel. For example Boulder Dash is my #1 because it is long, enjoyable, & supplies lots of airtime. I think El Toro is a little short. My top 5 woodies: 1. Boulder Dash 2. Phoenix 3. Terminator Salvation 4. El Toro 5. Comet (Hershey) -

Day 5: Six Flags Magic Mountain August 10, 2009 After a decade of craving to go to SFMM the day had finally come! The night before we were treated to bonus ert on Goliath for a half hour. My first ride at SFMM was the right side of Superman: The Escape before the surprise Goliath ert. Morning came and right outside our hotel I saw the coaster I've been wanting to ride since it opened up back in 2002 as X. As soon as we entered the park I couldn't wait any longer to ride this one of a kind coaster. My first ride on X2 was mind blowing! As the awesome band Metallica played the intro to Enter Sandman I knew this was going to be an awesome ride. Then the first drop came & I was thrown into the 4th demension! I sat in car 1 on the inside seat & remember being tossed around. One way I was facing forward and the next backwards. X2 was one of the craziest coasters I've ever ridden and for the first time in 8 years I was actually nervous on a new coaster. Thanks to ert I rode it 5x in a row. After X2 I got every credit in the park except for Colossus left and the kiddie adults couldn't ride. Be sure to check out my video. I used some of the X2 sound track! Enjoy the pics: Waiting for the awesome Terminator ert to begin! I really enjoyed the dinner. The classic Superman shot. The Terminator ert was definitely my favorite ert session of the trip. I rode it 16x in a row! Terminator I only rode at night during ert & it was AMAZING! My favorite GCI for sure & in my opinion better than El Toro! And my 260th credit! It was better than your average boomerang. My first DeJaVu. Good thing I rode the right side last night because only the left side was open today. I prefer the unthemed Scream over GADV's Bizarro. Another one of a kind Six Flags Parking lot coaster! Time for Scream! Me with the Goliath sign. Definitely one of the best coasters in the park! I rode Goliath a couple of times again today. Colossus was disappointing to me. Only the right side was open. Close up! Riddler's Revenge would have been a little better if it didn't break down for 25 minutes before I got on. Surprisingly this is only my second Batman: The Ride! I've waited so long to see these signs. The last ride ridden before lunch. Goldrusher was relaxing. Also ridden 2x today. I enjoyed Ninja! Rode it 2x today. This was X2's line just after the park opened! I love ert. One of my favorite SFMM pics! The classic Revolution shot! Revolution was my first ride after ert. It was ok. The only good part of Tatsu was that it was my 250th credit! Tatsu was ridden 2x in a row during ert. That pretzel loop was the most intense element I've ever experienced on a coaster & I wasn't a big fan of it. Sorry Tatsu but Manta kicks your a$$! Viper reminded me of GASM however I prefer GASM. X2 was AMAZING! Rode it 5x in a row! X2 has the coolest coaster audio ever & Metallica definitely adds to that! Finally after 7 years of waiting I finally ride X2! Almost there! A great view from the hotel to start our day. -
Revenge of the Mummy
Speeddeamon128 replied to coastercrazy216's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've ridden both. I prefer Orlando's. Orlando's is a little longer & has more special effects. Hollywood's is ok but a little shorter. I also was disappointed with Hollywood's ending. I thought there would be more but it just ended. One thing about Hollywood's is the backwards section because it is longer. Orlando's is much more enjoyable in my opinion but they both are good. -

How did Bizarro beat Millennium Force with Six Flags theming? Oh well I rode 7 (I don't count Bizarro as a new credit) of the top 10 steel coasters: Bizarro, Millennium Force, Nitro, Apollo's Chariot, Phantom's Revenge, Magnum XL-200, & Top Thrill Dragster. I also rode 5 of the top 10 woodies: Boulder Dash, El Toro, Phoenix, Thunderhead, & Ravine Flyer II. -

Day 4: California's Great America: Today was TPR's day at CGA! Having gone on Thursday with Mike & John I only needed two credits. Taxi Jam & Grizzly. Sadly I gor on Taxi Jam thanks to Mike but this time for free Also today my stomach was acting up so I didn't really ride much. We had Flight Deck ert in the morning & I rode that twice along with Demon, Taxi Jam, & Grizzly. Enjoy my complete CGA TR & video: The last credit of CGA that I rode was the worst woodie I've ever ridden! I sat in the front not that it helped. This was an ok Intamin drop tower. Taxi Jam! That is John you see being filthy. Some TPR's during the morning ert session. Flight Deck was my 230th credit (ridden Thursday)! This was pretty fun for a kiddie. Psyco Mouse was ok. We luckily got on Invertigo a few days before it broke down! I got on it 2x. Once Thursday & once today. Demon was surprisingly my favorite coaster in the park! It was ok. Nothing special. Vortex was my first coaster ridden here (on Thursday). Welcome to California's Great America! -
