^I bet no random gp will ever question that. Most people around where I live don't even know TTD exists.

[RCT2 Park] TF12 Paradize
zburns999 replied to touchef12's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Wow. Looks great. I really like the red hyper coaster. Reminds me a lot of Steel Dragon. -
That's too bad I remeber I was so sad when my Guinea Pigs died. It seemed so stupid to be sad about it, but I didn't really care. Anyway, RIP RatTums, the only hamster ever to have a web-cam.

What other non-theme park boards do you read?

I visit IMDB a lot. I used to post on the forums, but some of the people there are idiots. I still go to check movie "star ratings" and show times though. -
^Well, that was disturbing.

My favorite coaster names are Alpengeist and Apollo's Chariot. Both have a nice sound to them and fit the ride perfectly. I also like how Apollo's Chariot is a real Greek Myth.

TR Hershey Park, 8/26
zburns999 replied to YoshiFan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Yep. The longest line is usually Roller Soaker, which can be about 1 hour on a hot day. Everything else is usually 15 minutes or less, except for maybe Comet. Put it this way: on my 8'th grade class trip, we had 5 hours to spend at the park, and my friends and I got on all coasters except for TrailBlazer and Roller Soaker, and rode some of them up to three times. -
Yes, TTD is original, but I prefer the originality that went into Storm Runner's inversions. I've ridden both coasters, and I was sure I'd like TTD better than Storm Runner, but I just didn't. Both coasters are awesome, but perhaps it is the inversions, or perhaps it is the terrain that just made me like Storm Runner better. Sorry to hear that. Did you sit in the front, because the front seat deffinitely makes the ride. No where else on the train even compares. As for the restraints, they sometimes go down and crush me a bit through the inversions, but that seems to happen more often on the train with red trim.

TR Hershey Park, 8/26
zburns999 replied to YoshiFan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh, ok. It's really not that bad. My sister was terrified when we went on it for HersheyPark in the Dark last year (she was literally crying pre-launch) and now she can't get enough of it. But, yeah, take your time. It will always be there. -

Nice TR, but what about Storm Runner? -
New Movie: The Brothers Grimm
zburns999 replied to SonOfBeastSucks's topic in Random, Random, Random
^I agree. Last summer there were like three or four movies I REALLY wanted to see, but this year there was one, Batman Begins. At least that was an awesome movie. -
^I want to see the first Saw soooo bad. It looks great.

I sense a drop in theme park attendence. This is just going to make stupid gp's think that if they ride a coaster, they will be split in three, or their head will be cut off by an elevator. Just to give an example of how clueless some gp's are, I pulled a quote off the IMDB forums about the movie... There are some posts nearly as stupid as that. Heres the link... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414982/board/nest/23643077

Better Themeing?
zburns999 replied to coasterguy618's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^Don't forget though, Top Thrill Dragster was the first racing themed coaster. Xcellerator is just themed as old cars, not racing. -
Famous coaster enthusiasts
zburns999 replied to flyby208's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
One time I was at HersheyPark and there was a group of people all surrounding some guy. I went over to see what was going on and I see this huge guy with chains, and two little kids with him. Then some guy asks, "Hey, aren't you ?" Then the huge guy answers yes and everyone continued to follow him. -
Last time I was at Cedar Point, a random sun shower caused TTD to be temporarily closed. After the rain stopped, they began to launch trains. The first one was a rollback, as was the second one. Once they got one over the top, everyone started cheering, and everything in the station re-set itself, such as the recordings and the "Ready to Go" song and other stuff like that. Then the next one was a roll back. At this time I figured out that there needed to be two successful launches in a row in order to load the trains. In that hour and a half, I probably saw TTD roll back about 15 times, but all of them were test runs.

In my opinion, all this needs to avoid being an average coaster, is something unique. Storm Runner would have been average if not for the "flying snake dive," but because of it, it is one of the better coasters in the USA. I trust that B&M will know how to surprise us, and besides, there over-due for a really good coaster.

Wow, I didn't even realize that. That had to be done purposely. -
Better Themeing?
zburns999 replied to coasterguy618's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For all the people who complain that Kingda Ka is a copy, I think you should just be happy Great Adventure didn't theme it as a drag race. -
Mmmmm, Magnum. That's a great picture of a great coaster. Nice.

I've heard it take forever to re-set itself.
