Do you all remember when Dollywood was trying to be the first park to have a standup woodie??? That was a looooong time ago...I'm pretty sure nobody remembers but me...I was playing RCT2 to see if I could turn a standup coaster into a standup woodie..it was kinda complicated..it looked weird.. what if...it actually existed??? Of course, I would think that they would build it up one year, and take it down the next, becuase of all the many problems that could cause..but hey....who knows???

VegasCoaster..you said it! That's my point! I was just trying to get across how I interpreted the ride description..it confused me, and I wanted some clarity...but nevertheless...it's all been said and done, and the ride was built back in 1978, so who am I to question??? It's an awesome ride!

What do you all think Six Flags America need the most to attract the kinid of attention that some of the other SiF parks can draw (i.e. SFGAdv, SFMM..) Hurricane harbor is a start, but where can they go from there...? Any suggestions??? Anyone..???

Okay. I mean..you all would know. It's cool though. It just caught me by surprise..that's it. I was just wondering why they would use that kind of terminology for LNM like that. It just had me thinking that maybe it was suppose to be a launch coaster..

You're right about that...

Of course it doesn't say that...it doesn't have to say launch coaster..check out www.themeparkbrochures.com, scroll down to Knott's Berry Farm (2002), and click on the third image..and tell me if they call Xcelerator a launch coaster..???

If that's the case..then the terminology was incorrect. When someone says "accelerates.." or "12-70 in 3 seconds", we think of a "launch coaster"..if it gains speed.. the correct way of saying that would be "reaches speeds up to 70mph" and terminology of that nature..so the terminology was incorrect..causing me to think that the Loch Ness Monster was suppose to be a launch coaster...see what I'm saying???

Wait a sec...I just realized what I just said...disregard that..but my question still remains that..but it did say it was gonna have a verticxal drop..and it doesn't...

Yeah, when in fact, it has two..so my question is..when did they all of a sudden make the decision to have interlocking loops, the tunnel, and the two lifts..because I didn't hear anything about that in the description..and it had to be a last minute decision for the ride (i guess their breakthrough failed concerning the acceleration..lol)...but anwayz, It's a great ride..and the last minute decisions definitely came through, and made the ride a masterpiece..

If you can't get the link..go to www.themeparkbrochures.com, scroll down to Busch Gardens - The Old Country (1978), and click on the fourth image at the top..that should show you what I mean...
