From the POV, the coaster looks like that it is stuck on replay for a minute in the middle of the ride. ::Moans:: I was so looking forward to Everland's new coaster, too. At least the beginning looks cool and the airtime seems pretty good...

What's up Cedar Fair? You used to be cool... (says the guy with the raptor avatar...hey it's a great ride)

It's a good thing that the FBI isn't looking for stalkers!! But back on topic: When I went to King's Island over the summer, I found quite a few rednecks (can I say that?) at the park. It was quite funny actually. :: insert evil laugh::

I LOVED Turtle Beach when I was younger!

I will be able to visit the park over Christmas break and hopefully get some awesome shots.

At first I missed the part where you said that you used the "grouping" method, and I was wondering why there was such a large gap between Son of Beast and Psyclone! Guess I didn't know that you thought Psyclone was so terrible! My mistake. In other news, Phoenix at Knobles was my number 1 wooden coaster mainly because I have yet to ride El Toro.

Why would a parent let their 3-year-old daughter on a high speed scrambler? I know that this death must have been terrible for the family, but parents need to issue a little common sense before they allow their children onto a high speed / high g-force ride.

Did anyone else think that the train had a lot of difficulty ascending that big hill on the turnaround section? That looks so slow in the POV. Other than that complaint, I can't wait to ride this coaster in May!

Ride of Steel at Darien Lake They couldn't think of a better name? Many people still call the coaster "Superman" anyway.

Wow! Great theming! Can this amazing waterpark somehow be relocated to Ohio?

Thanks for the great video Robb! Maverick was amazing and now everyone on TPR knows this fact!

The former CCI employees have finally updated their website! There are videos of all of their coasters (Hades, Voyage, Boardwalk Bullet, Ravine Flyer II, plus a concept design) and just a lot of other cool stuff! www.thegravitygroup.com/

Check out the official park website!! www.waldameer.com/RavineFlyer2.html

Did you check out the link? This is the company who made DarKastle. The company (Falcon's Treehouse) was commissioned to master plan for extensive park updates. The concept art looks amazing! Hopefully, once completed, the park will look that incredible!

23/25 with several educated guesses. I was doing great until I got to the last two questions.

I stayed at a Ramada Inn near Chicago/SFGAm that was pretty terrible. The bathroom didn't quite work, the pool was closed, bed wasn't made at 8PM, there were no clean towels, and to top it all off: it wasn't cheap!! That's one night I'll never have back!

Up and ready! http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_poll/ Thank you Ted!! That link is freakin' sweet!! My top 3: Boulder Dash Phoenix Kentucky Rumbler

I would love to visit Alton Towers. The way that the park is forced to build below tree height is much different than what I am used to at Cedar Point. Some people knock it for being too corporate, but don't most large amusement park have that distinction as well? Nemesis doesn't hurt the cause either!

Looping Star at Beech Bend. I REALLY thought I was gonna die. I totally agree with you. The trains have zero leg room and those over the shoulder restraints went pretty much around my neck because I was forced to slouch.

All of the B&M Inverts that I have ridden: 1. Raptor (<- look at my picture) 2. Montu 3. Talon (<- not enough respect) 4. Dueling Dragons: Fire 5. Dueling Dragons: Ice 6. Batman: The Ride 7. Alpengeist (<- overrated in my opinion) 8. Great Bear

7/10 on the October Test

Hmm... A Batman:The Ride clone does not seem very goliath to me.

Hopefully this will help you: www.rcdb.com/ir.htm?opened=2008&status=9,13 At least you won't miss anything!

Hey, I thought that was clever! (Even though it wasn't my idea!)

I went there about 3 weeks ago and the only reason the I would return would be to have more crazy ejector airtime on the back seat of Sup...Ride of Steel!
