Favorite first drop on a Steel Coaster
hemmy replied to SpectralN's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Millennium Force due to the length of its floater air Front Row Sheikra due to its ejector air Both very close, I'd give to to MF for the height factor -
Did you know that SeaWorld owns Busch Gardens and Apollo's Chariot was built by General Mills? "Really?" asked the dude's friend. "I thought Anheuser Busch owned it." "Nope, SeaWorld." HA! I thought I would make a second addition to this thread. Still line jumping, but when like 1 or 2 people are in front of me then the rest of their entire family walks up the queue to join them. I proceed to always not let them through, and then they all converge on my as if I was doing something wrong

People Jumping the Line / Queue
hemmy replied to aldredd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Summer 07 at Busch Gardens there was a group of I dunno, probably 100 people from Brazil. While in line for Gwazi (I know, wtf was I in line for this ride anyway?) about 30 of them cut straight to the front of the line to meet with the 20 that were already up there. Nobody else in line even seemed to care. Then here comes the rest of the group and I just put my arms across the queue and pretended like I didn't notice 50 people behind me trying to get through. They didn't put up much of an argument though. Another one was from this summer at Knotts in line for Pony Express (2 different times) First time - bunch of kids jumped to the front, and their mom & dad tried to follow but I wouldn't let them pass so they complained to the ride ops I wouldn't let them through (they spoke almost no english) Second time - Late in the day it was my turn to board, and as I was getting in my seat a little kid and her mother who had JUST gotten off the ride snuck back on in my spot. Now, there were other open seats I could sit in, but this pissed me off and I made a "scene" of it. Sadly the retarded ride ops didn't do a damn thing. Oh well. -

The "Midwest" is only what each person perceives it to be, it isn't a defined area. -
What is the worst Theme Park in the world?
hemmy replied to martinb's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Fantazy Land is by far the worst Not that I have been there, or ever would go, but it looked horrible. -
Yes yes and yes, all apply to me. Also, the amount of mass-line jumping that goes on at a busy park drives me crazy

What are some loud rides and coasters?
hemmy replied to JFrombaugh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would say by far Superman @ SFMM Just stupidly loud, thankfully much quieter ON the ride -
If you could get rid of one thing..
hemmy replied to maeryk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
YES! This makes the ride so much less enjoyable (still awesome) Is this a joke? Obviously being 20 I didn't visit many parks in the 80s, but my parents did long before that and there were always lines. -
While somewhat true, every time I have been there, most breakdowns don't require the ride to close, 20-30 minute downtime max

2008 Golden Tickets
hemmy replied to Airtime&Gravity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
No B&M hyper should be that high up on the list IMO, except Goliath at SFOG But the wooden list is down right terrible IMO I am not going to bash these people's opinions, but simply state that I feel a different way. Beast AND Hades in the top 10, WTF. I agree with a lot of the other stuff though, best park, best food, best water ride, best landscaping etc. Overall, I don't have the hate towards AT like a lot of people here seem to, but some of their rankings make me scratch my head. -
What rides have you ridden in their debut season?
hemmy replied to Olsor's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Every ride at Islands of Adventure Mummy @ Universal Orlando Millennium Force and Maverick at Cedar Point Sheikra at BG Tampa Patriot at Worlds of Fun Titan at SFOT California Screamin & M. Madness @ California Adventure That is all the coasters I can think of, there may have been more Also, those are just the coasters, if we went any ride, my list would be much larger. -
Worlds of Fun Construction - Prowler
hemmy replied to Jive's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Looks fun, can't wait to ride. -
Knotts has a small one in the log flume queue But things like this just piss me off, along with the idiots who just throw their trash on the ground instead of in the trashcan next to them. Why people are so retarded is beyond me.

No B&M hyper (that I have ridden: Nitro, Apollo's, Goliath, Raging Bull) has a lot of airtime. Goliath at SFOG has the most IMO, but not a lot. -
Breakers Express hotel ?????
hemmy replied to Tammy S's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nothing wrong with it. Once I stayed at the Comfort Inn about a block from Cedar Point Drive because I got a room for dirt cheap, and while it wasn't terrible either, I much preferred Breakers Express. As others have said though, I only used it to sleep in, and maybe if I needed a rest from the park, since Cedar Point takes a reasonable amount of time to do everything, there isn't a lot of "motel time"
