Mack builds a good ride. Well made fun attractions. The other attractions are fine. Scrambler is getting close to the location where it originally opened. It's a good fit. I wish boomerang was gone and Corkscrew was still there. Make it pretty and break up some of that concrete. Also a Peanuts themed dark ride about The Great Pumpkin would be cool. They could incorporate Haunt into it as well.

Robbie & Natalie keep Freestyle Music Park in Business
Mr.Wood replied to natatomic's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
This is so sad to see. One of the things that make parks fun is all the people. Hate to see a park so empty. Thanks for the report. -
See, whenever I think of Manhattan Express, I always remember Robb's video of it. You payed $14 to get the crap beaten out of you? I have never seen that POV. of Manhattan Express. OMFG that was funny. All you have to say is "that's worst than Windjammer" (another TOGO masterpiece----of crap) and everyone knows just how bad it is.

Six Flags Magic Mountain Terminator Salvation: The Ride
Mr.Wood replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Disney is going to change the name of Nemo to the Mountain Express. I mean really........ I have always thought this ride being themed to the Terminator franchise is silly. I don't really like the cars but who cares if it's a good ride. Look at Pony Express it looks great but it's only a 6 sec.ride. I know one is more for kids but hell it's SFMM you're lucky to get any theming at all. -
I've been on this site for 2 years or so and I have never been to any events. I have met any of you all but just from reading this site I feel I know a lot of you. I really enjoyed your movie. Very funny and stupid and that's what TPR is all about. Thanks.

Mr.Wood replied to Hhappy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Great pics Hanno. What's the response to the ride? Does the public really like it. It looks like a blast. -
I'm still a big fan of Space Mt. and when you ride the Matterhorn at Disneyland you feel your riding history. Ninja and Goldrusher and always fun. At Knott's the old Arrow Cycle Chase was scary. 35 or 40 mph with only a leather strap holding you on. Geee I wonder why they took that out. and the worst IMO was Knott's Windjammer that Togo mouse coaster with a loop. They should have called it Neckbreaker.

Shane's Amusement Attic
Mr.Wood replied to montezooma's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As usual Shane I love this stuff. That Scout Master was smocking a pipe....That's so cool. -
Looney Tunes started in the 30's and hit their "hay day" in WWII. I didn't see these cartoons until they were over 25 years old. They were the best then and now. Adults today will curb their children from watching such crazy violent cartoons but think nothing of letting their children listen to (and watch) Britney Spears. I'm getting off on a tangent. Kids love big fluffy characters and that's that. I have never been a fan of these Fast, Flash, Q, passes. I think at Disneyland it has ruined some of the queues. The queue for Indy cost 10 million and now people just run through it. Also not all guests will share the same experience. If you have the extra cash then you get the "special treatment" I really dislike up-charges.

The resort thing is not a bad idea but I long for the day when Disneyland had a parking lot and not DCA. DCA is still a waste to me but if SFMM could do a nice Hotel with shopping and nice restaurants that would be cool. SFMM is kind of a place you drive through, stop for a few hours and be on your way. If you miss some things you're not that worked up by it. Although they are making the park better and better every year. Fix the Monorail and let's find someplace to bring back a train.

I love Mack coasters. They just seem to have great lines and so smooth. I would love to ride this ride. Thanks for the pics. Great job. -
Scott's Coaster Closet
Mr.Wood replied to SeaWhippet's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, I don't know why more weren't produced. AFAIK, the three that went to FPH were the only ones PTC built. NAD played around with the headlight thing (and did a great job with their classy Century Flyers), but that sleek streamlined railroad-inspired rolling stock is my fav. I have never seen trains like that before.It would be so cool if one of these new woodies use trains like these. Having that head lite flickering down the track at night. So cool. -

OMG!!! those PTC trains are beautiful. Gotta love that 1940's to 1950's streamline look. That Hunt's Pier little train was sweet. Great pics. Thanks. Keep them coming.
