Other Amusement Rides That Should Be Turned Into Movies

Well, I for one thought the Cyclone idea wasn't half bad.....but the others......ugh! -
Massive Power Outages
Chris Benvenuto replied to BrownStreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember hearing the news on the Power Outage effecting riders on the all rides at CP, back in 03'. That must of been fun...... But however, I remember being at a local waterpark the day the Niagara-Mohawk power grid went down (03' summer) The lazy river stopped moving riders and we had to get out to the front by walking..... They closed the park for a week due to the water filters being unable to work and a water park without it's filters, is not a happy water park -
Dear god, I honestly wonder why these thing happen and why some people would vandalize these rides. I mean, the worst I've seen ride related is restraint damage with OSTR's and not much more. The worst breakdown I've ever experienced was on Splash mountain, but that's a whole big story for another day and topic.....

Most Overrated coaster?
Chris Benvenuto replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dragster @ CP. I rode it after a 90 minute wait and I was like "That's it?" after riding and that's not a good sign my book, trust me. -
My old high school was Dondero High School, until the merge between the two high schools in my city Royal Oak, Dondero had the smaller student popluation but was there in Royal Oak before the 2nd high school Kimball was opened. The reason of Kimball's construction and opening was due to a high amount of students in Royal Oak in the 50's/60's with the American baby boom and with national highway system being built. As they say with the decline of young students and families, Royal Oak called for change. With that, Dondero and Kimball merged and became Royal Oak High School with Ravens as our mascots. I was always a Dondero Oak, but now we have to make peace with our Kimball Knights foes. But however, I wish our school peace. The new high school at least...

no limits
Chris Benvenuto replied to Thorpe park maniac's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
no, you can't. (my mom's same as your dad, but can be conviced if there's no way out) There are Illegal disc versions I've seen.....but those were in Chinatown in Pittsburgh and Washington DC when I visited. But no, you can't buy it from the trial version....sorry.... -
Our house and folk's attitude's are based on recent politics and going on's in the community. MOM: well, what can I say? she's semi-liberal and tries to do the best she can for me and has also sent me on a number of guilt trips which I HATE. But I try not to give her crap too often, she's the type if she cries, you'll start soon after because it's that sad. DAD: biggest and funniest douche you'll ever meet. He's one of the few parents you meet and can swear around and he'll laugh along with you. Great personality and sense of humour. I love em' MOM+DAD: They met in the Army and I dunno how they stand each other, I frequently ask them that and they don't know either. they celebrated their 22nd or 21st anniversary recently, what ever. My mom has a small liking to small sized coasters like Wild Mouses and Mine Trains. My Dad he's motion sick, so when he takes me to parks he watches and helps me with my credit count.

^ Think it's due to no tax on our gas, and tax on your gas. Plus the added fact that you pay by liter and not gallon Here in Royal Oak, we have 3.15$ a Gallon. Premieum is at I think 3.50$ per gallon.

Chris Benvenuto replied to jappi's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, first, ride Maverick this May for sure. then check out parks in the New York area and Marineland not too far from Niagara Falls. Hopefully the Wisconsin Dells as well. I hope to get on the Europe TPR trip for 08' as a future goal. -

TPR Meet at SFA - Six Flags America!
Chris Benvenuto replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Sorry to go off topic, but Robb, you and Elissa need to pay respect to some of the Midwest parks more often. I'm not demanding you to come to MIA or CP, but damn, to a meet to CP or MIA in late May or early June. Gawd, is really that hard to ask, I've waited 3+ years to meet you guys and you always slip away!! Have Fun anyway how, I know you will. -

Chris Benvenuto replied to Peejay's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^ the ride was built before the molestation charges in 2004, Colorado Adventure was built in 2001, I believe. He gave me quite the ride, it was particuarly rough this time around. J/K!! But anyhow, I consider Phantasialand the German's idea of Disneyland, abd Europa Park their idea of WDW. Just my opinon -
Way to go Chevy!!! Very nice idea, design on the other hand, ok. The colors, cute. Look? ehhhh, maybe next time.... The volt design looks cool, though. EDIT: 400th POST!! W00T!!

Mystery Castle was such a weird ride, I couldn't understand it. It was fun though, I went here this past summer and I had a good time. Have to return though, missed the Temple credit, got the others. -
