  1. Adding the flyers was a great improvement for Wildcat at Hersheypark. Now I don't need an adjustment every time I ride it!
  2. SooperDooperLooper 35 times in a row--yes, I took a Swartzkopf loop 35 times--I'm nuts
  3. FUNNEL CAKES! FUNNEL CAKES! FUNNEL CAKES! Don't forget the funnel cakes! also, over near down draft is a stand that sells beleenies! AKA Potato Pancakes. Delish! Sometimes you can get a shrimp basket for under 10 bucks at the international food court and you get A LOT of food. The food court also has daily specials so check them out. Finish it all off with Ice Cream at the Old Mill.
  4. And you won't sound like someone who thinks they are above everyone else here because you think you are on a higher level of conciseness. Jazz doesn't suck, it's just misunderstood. To be able to play all those caotic notes and still keep a time signature takes incredible skill.
  5. They found cracks in some of the Fahrenheit Trains that needed to be addresses. Some of StormRunners cars are the same way. They took a trip to Switzerland for some up keep!
  6. I'm a screamer and a laugher...oh, wait. do you mean when riding roller coasters?
  7. Sharktuns---Are you saying that the HSTC is a kiddie ride no one cars about? Or were you just making a generalized statement? it was my mothers first coaster, my first coaster, and my childrens first coaster!
  8. Shoulder Rash gets my vote! I laughed out loud!
  9. Ok, I'm no Photo Shopper, but here we go! George Burns on Flying Turns!
  10. I see all 3 videos. I'm using the latest Firefox
  11. You're good. It's the loading side control panel of Fahrenheit
  12. Actually, It was pretty chilly the morning the FH got stuck.
  13. Rob, I was one of the Nantimi 11 and I was there the morning that it valleyd. Did they say how they were heating the wheels? Blow dryers? Geo thermal volcanic ash? Putting the water dummies on the ride early in the morning? Any clue? Just curious
  14. Sitting in the back seat of Sidewinder at Hershey Park, I would always almost black out going through the loop while going backwards. I sat there on purpose just so that would happen! I guess I'm totally backwards.
  15. Is that thing about NK being a dictatorship true? I would assume so. why couldn't you take any more pics?
  16. It's obvious the ride is "complete". We also know that Dick Knoebel likes his toys to run the way he likes! I believe that he is a perfectionist when it comes to building his coasters, and I think the results speak for themselves! (Phoenix and Twister anyone?)
  17. I was at knoebels this past weekend! We had a blast and good news-_Flying Turns was testing! I saw it running. I spoke to an older employee (he's worked there for 30 years). he explained to me that the issues with the train are no longer safety, but comfort. The train does not run as smooth as they would like it too. He also said that they are making progress with it. Am I the only one who didn't know this thing has 3 lift hills? I always thought it had 2. There are 2 lifts after leaving the station. When the ride enters the break run, it enters another lift to return to the station.
  18. Hershey will NEVER be Dorney. They don't have cedar fair to ruin them....Look a Fahrenheit! Yes, I'm a HP fanboy
  19. Here is the story http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2008/07/two_new_water_rides_to_replace.html
  20. I can hardly see these people suing the park. it may happen, but if they were true Christians, they wont sue. The park did nothing wrong. They're 17 old son (who probably has his drivers license) JUMPED A RESTRICTED FENCE INTO THE PATH OF A COASTER! He broke the law by tresspassing in a restricted area. Where I live you have to have a fence around your pool. This is to protect people from getting in your pool withiout your permission. It also protects YOU from lawsuits because you have to concisely make a decision to go over the fence. This kid did the same thing. It ended badly. I also disagree about naming the kid a "Victim" of an accident. The only victim here is Six Flags. The only way this kid is a victim is if he's a victim of his own stupidity.
  21. Just because this kid was with a "Christian" Group does not mean he himself was a Christian. Churches do outreaches like this sometimes tfor the community. Who knows what this kids background is and for people to outright say that the "christians" are the worst groups out there is like me saying all muslims are terrorists.
  22. Fahrenheit is definitely a better coaster than Storm Runner. Not that SR is bad, it's excellent. The launch is intense and smooth, the flying snake dive if my favorite element of ALL time. But while Fahrenheit lacks this, it makes up in negative droppiness, Norwegian loop scrumpciousness, the smoothest cobra I've ever been on and quite a bit of air time. The G's at the bottom of the Norwegian loop are fantastic as well. If I had my choice between the 2? Fahrenheit--_Straight Up
