Wood Dragon 1988

So, did Asian parks operate like this even before the incident, or did the laws just get more strict? There are a LOT of coasters in Japan to only operate one week every two years!

Wow that ride must be sick then. I'm even more mad about droping Scandi now. I would imagine those hills would be a little like the third to last hills on DL's or SFA's Superman. Probably a little better I guess.

Maverick is WAY above MF in my opinion, but at least MF fell out of the top 10 this year. I have a really coaster dorky question maybe someone here can answer. On Piraten and Kawesemi, how good are those series of three "twisting hills" in the middle of the ride. They look fantastic, but I am wondering if there is airtime on them?

My biggest WTFs are Behemoth and Evel Knievel. Never really thought Knievel had a chance to do that well. Behemoth is at least my personal fifth rated B&M, behind Goliath, Griffon, AC and Nitro. It was good, but I don't think it could possibly the 7th best in the world, and definitely not top B&M. This poll rules though. Intamin had 5 of the top 10 steels and 5 of the top 10 woods. Amazing for them.

Not much of a movie guy, and I have only seen Step Brothers and Baby Momma. Step Brothers was much better. Still want to see Get Smart ( <3 Steve Carell), DK, and even Love Guru.

In the ghetto we call that a "fail". Coming from someone called "CreditCrazy" no less.

^Unfortunately not.

Pick Taxi Jam, you babies!

I usually eat pizza at parks, because one slice isn't usually too much. I've had it at: Delgrosso's, Knoebels, KD, Seabreeze, Lake Compounce, and Carowinds. Knoebels was the best, followed by Delgrosso's. KDs was above average, Carowinds and Compounce were mediocre, and I don't remember much about Seabreeze.

I got that in about 12 hours from when I sent it and it is great they are being honest about it(something Cedar Fair is lacking). While I am disappointed since I will be in the area next year for Diamondback and all. I will still visit SFKK and again when the twisted twins do reopen. Well, that saved me a trip there. I want to go, but want to wait until at least one side of Twisted Twins is running to justify a 6 hour drive each way. I am a huge wooden coaster fan and I think Twisted Twins is probably the lamest coaster in the park (Though T2 was running surprisingly good when I went). I found SFKK interesting and a diomond in the rough.

Yea Roxi we have to eat some good Texas food though.....we missed out on cheesestakes in Phillly I'm kind of pissed I can't do Scandi, but I will be paying rent next year for the first time, and the flight from Baltimore to Copenhagen would cost a few months.

I'm watching Deffinitely Maybe with my male roommate at 3 AM.....I hope I'm not gay.

If anyone cares, I am switching to Texas.

Think I would have probably liked it better than today.....maybe. I like the pop music and movies of the 80s much better than today. But it would suck living in a world without laptops, cell phones, Ipods, etc.

I have a question. According to physics, isn't there no such thing as negative gs? I have heard nothing can have less than 0 gs, is that right?

I'm just going to say that I've had three jobs in three different industries, and the first week of ALL of them SUCKED HORRIBLY. That to me is just the way it goes. You keep talking about your contract, but there had to be a legal way for them to get around it, or they wouldn't have done it. If CP was really your dream summer, I don't think you would have quit after one day. Just my two cents, and I'm not trying to judge you.

I think the full retrack was in 2005 or 2006. I agree it is better now than it ran from around 2000-2004ish. It is rough, but IDK, I like the airtime. The best airtime at KD, which isn't much of a statement.

After reading this topic and many others about theme park employment, it is very evident that on coaster boards there is a clear fraternity of people who have worked at a park and a clear group many of us who haven't. The "employee" group seems to know a lot about park operations that the rest of us don't. Some seem to enjoy the work, some don't. I haven't worked at a park, and I have never had much of a desire to. It is an unwanted job in my opinion, and I don't think I could stand going to theme parks (traveling and spending money) after working at one. As a more general thought, I see nothing wrong with being an enthusiast and never holding a position at a park. I know Robb, Elissa, Jahan, and many other here have worked at parks, and know a lot about it, but I certainly don't see it as a neccessity for an enthusiast to have on their resume. Just something extra for certain people who like it or are stuck with it.

OK Elissa I guess I will be the first one to ask why you have El Toro and Balder ahead of the combination of the two: T-Express?

I'm really excited for this! This will make BGE once again stand out in the region. Dollywood and Hershey are the only parks anywhere close with one of these events.

^lol I had a dream I was on Son of Beast last night, and it was good. Good to see another Hurler fan exists. I don't have it ranked number five, but it is underrated.

With all due respect, doesn't that sound a bit like Ravine Flyer II, a ride which you rate very highly? To me, it hurts to ride and offers no "extreme" airtime. Also, Robb, if I remember right, didn't you have SROS at SFA ranked very highly last year? For me, it was complete crap this year compared to others, would you agree?

Looks really good, maybe Europe's answer to Maverick? A lot of the newer Intamin steel coasters seem to have too few airtime hills for my taste, but nonetheless I really like the creativity!

^lol after all that you're going! Good news though.
