Intamin Drop Towers
Goliath513 replied to MF310ryb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Rumor has it that SFMM's is not in the budget to operate in 2008. I'm going to miss that ride. It is arguably the best flat in the park. -
Colossus at SFMM for head choppers. Vekoma SLCs for foot choppers.

Elitch Gardens Photo TR
Goliath513 replied to christianscoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nice photo TR. I haven't been there since 2005 but everything looks pretty much the same. They really need a good quality B&M or Intamin to replace one of the clones here. -

The Sunset Resort [RCT2]
Goliath513 replied to rctfan123's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
This park is simply amazing! I love all the dedication you have put in so far to this park. I know from experience that making a park as large as this with a high amount of detail is no easy task so I congratulate you for taking on such a task. I cannot wait to download this park and take a closer look! -
I'm writing the song "Credit Whore"
Goliath513 replied to BarryH's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ha, I can see it now. "Theme Park Review - The Album" 1. "Credit Whore" 2. "The Twelve Pains of Vekoma" Eight more tracks and we got an album going! Post random ideas for songs and I'll add them to the track listing. -
Six Flags Magic Mountain Advice
Goliath513 replied to californiascreamer1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There are no longer any "bad" coasters. Just those not worth riding as much. Places not to eat: Panda Express near Viper I suggest eat at Food Etc near Goliath or Pizza Vector near Batman. Also, head for Tatsu first as X usually doesn't open right away. -
Final Destination 3
Goliath513 replied to KrakenKing's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Bringin' back an old topic once again. I first saw the entire movie several months ago because I heard it was about a roller coaster crash. My first impression, unbelievably unrealistic. First off, no coaster goes through 3 double corkscrews. When Frankie dropped the camera and it wrapped around the track, I thought WTF? The random unsupported loops, repeated track scenes just made me wonder how can movie makers get away with such a poor quality scene. When the train derailed on the turn, it looked like something straight out of RCT3. Also, how would the track cut so cleanly in half? (Not even Vekoma can make track that crappy. TOGO maybe) If the train was what did that, it would have merely smashed it out of shape. Finally, how would such park get away with such neglect for coaster safety and let the train fall into such disrepair. It was awesome to see a coaster in a movie, but this scene just killed all realism in it. Although a station like that would be pretty cool for a ride. Who knows, maybe Cedar Fair has something like that in mind for Dorney's Voodoo. The rest of the movie was alright. I had not seen the first two before watching, but I was still able to follow along with the story. For the other deaths, the tanning scene...OMG. It was sickening to watch because of all the stages of death they showed. Very intense, if not the most intense part of the movie. For several brief seconds, the 'most intense pain' can be seen on Ashlyn (brunette girl) in the tanning bed. Frankie's death by the cooling fan of the car's engine was extremely graphic. I didn't see that one coming. Erin's death in the warehouse - I expected something to fall and crush her, but a round of nails through her head pinning her arm to her face, it makes me wonder what goes on in the minds of the writers. The last few deaths - there was nothing too shocking about them to bother writing about. The same day, I watched FD1 and 2. The first two definitely had better death scenes, and the second one, the death's occurred nothing like the viewer would expect when seeing the movie for the first time. In the end, 8/10 for entertainment. 5/10 for quality. I hope they make a fourth one for the sake of not leaving off on such a bad ending as this one. -Sam "Wrote more than usual" Johnson -
I've seen Top Gun get stuck on the lift (thats about it) and Vortex break down right after we got off, but both were quickly fixed. I was stuck on Vortex's lift during my first visit to the park in 02. Then the next time I was there it got stuck again. All the other Beemers I've seen at parks I've been to seem to be operating very smoothly, except for Tatsu as Elissa pointed out.

Great America To Be Sold Again?
Goliath513 replied to Sean Menefee's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Given that Top Gun is the last "good" coaster in the park, I'm not surprised they are thinking of selling it. But getting rid of a park to make way for a football stadium? Bad idea. Unless Cedar Fair gets some serious money ($500 Million or more) for this park, it won't be worth the loss if sold. This could really help their debt situation. -
Favorite Arrow Coaster
Goliath513 replied to CdnbMatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Arrow rides are great despite the slight roughness. In no particular order. Viper, X, Demon (KGA), Ninja (SFMM) More for me to experience next year though. -

Wild Rides in Water
Goliath513 replied to thunder001's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Waterworld in Denver has a ride called "Screamin Mini" where you ride a sled down a track and glide across the water at the bottom of the drop. It's pretty awesome. At Waterworld USA in Sacramento (shortly before it became Raging Waters) I was riding down the "Great White" tube slide with my brother and a friend and I jumped off the front of the tube. I got yelled at once in the splashdown. Good times! -
TPR Theme Park
Goliath513 replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Some random ideas: -Ghetto fair themed section built over the parking lot. -Intamin & vekoma themed lands at war with each other. -Mirror image SLC (I always thought that would be cool) -Penguin: the ride (LIM coaster that is launched into and twists around a giant 200ft tall penguin statue). Approved by everyone but Jahan. -Fence: the ride (see SFMM Tatsu construction updates). -B&M Drachen Fire -ACE Coaster featuring super sized seats. -Storm Runner with 4D trains. That is all for now. -
