How often do wooden coaster tracks and their cars need to be greesed/oiled. Once a Season or more...? When the track is dry "Robin Hood" at Walibi World makes a screeching sound when going round the corners and there is vibrating from the floor. Does the Park need to give the Woodie some TLC and stop the "metal to metal" grinding..? Seems like the Park has left the Woodie to it's own devices and not given it any attention over the years. What are your views on this and anyone been on a coaster which makes the same sound and vibration as this is not normal for a woodie..!

I was chatting to one of the Operators last week about the "Lift Wheel" on this ride and they said, " it is currently not working as it keeps getting stuck or breaking down". Is there anyone who knows a Company who can supply parts or fix this unique lift wheel...? I just want to help the Park get it working again as it looks an amazing piece of machinery to start a "Rapids Ride". If you do know anyone can they contact the Park please? If you have been on this "Lift Wheel" can you tell me what it is like..

Great news another Schwarzkopf coaster has been saved. Anyone got a pic of the whole layout...? Is it like a "Shuttle Coaster" e.g. Thunderlooper from ex Alton Towers I read there were only a few madebuilt, which other parks have one of these.? -

Millenium Force out of Operation?
verticalzero replied to JulieWent's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is this the original lift motor on MF, if it is it has lasted a good 5 years. I went on it 2 weeks after it opened in 2000, an amazing coaster. Hope it get's fixed as soon as possible. Blue Streak is a wonderfull woodie, I loved it. -
Is Boss Good Or Bad?
verticalzero replied to EuroTre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I prob won't get the chance to ride "The Boss" as I live in the UK, it looks an amazing layout esp with the Double Down. How much does it have in the back seats..? The roughest Woodie I have been on is SOB in 2000, made my hands go numb, such as shame as it could of been a great coaster if it was designed right. Kings Island should of made/put it by it's Dad (The Beast) and have them side by side for the lift hills, make the SOB into a Out n Back/twister with a loop or 2. -
What is your favorite launch coaster?
verticalzero replied to EuroTre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've only been on 2 launch coasters, i'm not keen of them: "Thunderlooper" at Alton Towers and "Xpress" at Walibi World Thunderlooper was the best out of the 2 with your hands up. It is missed loads at Alton Towers, why did it move to South America when a UK Park could of bought it. I could not go on "Stealth" or "Kingda Ka" as 2 fast. -
I wonder why B&M have "Vertical Loop", "Zero G Roll" and "Cobra Roll" then the "Corkscrews" in that order in their layout's. How about start the ride with a "Inline Twist" then a "Batwing" and "Cobra Roll". B&M could add to Vertical Drop coasters a "Cobra Roll" and Vertical loop" or even a "Top Hat"

What Rides Scares the Crud Out Of You?
verticalzero replied to EuroTre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would not go on the list below as I would be "White Knuckled" and feel scared. Vertical Drop / Space Shot Towers Shot n Drop's Towers Star Flyer (the standard swing o chair is bad enough) Any KMG flat rides The Vertical Drop at Hayling Island (UK) is only 120ft high and I came off colourless "white" and shaking. -
Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread
verticalzero replied to the_rock401's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm glad the rear car came off the track at the end of the ride on the brake-run and not down the 1st drop or at the turn-around. Still scary stuff when a coaster accident happens. hope everyone recovers ok and not 2 many mental scar's When is "Steel Dragon" suppose to reopen..? -
What are your views on this coaster, does it ride well...? Glad the park was saved and the new owners painted the coaster "White", it looks lovely.

Family Coasters That Pack A Punch
verticalzero replied to Lord Kotowa's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Cobra at Paulton's Park is quite forcefull when it dives into the "Helix or Death" and switches to a Helix in the other direction It's getting faster as I went there on the 24th April, you come out your seat on the Bunny Hops. -
Loops Vs. Hills
verticalzero replied to BrownStreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would like to see a Coaster like "MF" be an out n back with a Cobra Roll and 3 vertical loops mixed with hills. You can build one on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 to see what it is like -
Shame this coster may not open again, I hope it does as it is a waste of Steel.

This looks like an incredibly fun small coaster: http://www.parksmania.it/english-news_news_zamperla--motocoaster-exclusive-first-pov_1911.html It's an interesting twist on the transportable Pinfari/Schwarzkopf Wildcat type design.

I don't see the point of having an "Open Relaionship", if you have found someone you want to be with, why share them with anyone else. Your Relationship becomes pointless as your using each other for sex while finding other people to have sex with. What happens if you or your Husband/Wife finds someone else they want to be with rather than being with you...? Your relationship is dead and your single again. but some people don't care what they do and want to have sex with as many people as possible, relationships do not mean anything to them. My relationship is a "closed" one and I will not be sharing my "Husbear" with anyone else, it's not worth it..

Amazing coaster, love the 3G POV, will the ride be more twister style and maybe go underground..? Post more pic's when you can please. -
Hey GAcoaster: You have had that many people 100....!!! I've had a couple of thousand, it's in a gay person's blood to have as many people as possible..
