Six Flags St. Louis
bgwfreak replied to bgwfreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Oh yeah, I'll post a PTR. I'm a camera geek I admit it. Just check out all my pics on my website (link below). I didn't even notice when they were opening it. Cool! I love our little intamin drop tower here at Carowinds, but one about 100 feet taller is even better! Wes "Intamin drop towers taller than PC's are cool" Connell -
Six Flags St. Louis
bgwfreak replied to bgwfreak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Excellent!!! Now I'm glad I considered doing this park on a whim. I've got a SF season pass, I was like heck I'm going to be 3 hours away, why not!? I've never been to the park and this will be my 4th Six Flags park. -
Hi all, I am going to try and squeeze a half day trip in to SF St Louis on May 26th (a Friday). How bad are the lines on a Friday? I know it's Memorial Day weekend but I'm hoping to get to at least ride all the coasters in about 5-6 hours time. How are lines at this park generally? Thanks and happy easter (to those that celebrate it)!! Wes

Kings Dominion and Carowinds New Buddy
bgwfreak replied to Sidekick2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was out at Carowinds today and the spot for "Thunder Raceway" (I think that's the official name) isn't very big. It's between Hurler and the Xtreme skyflyer and on the left side up against Hurler. So apparantley it's going to be a small oval or maybe they will build up. But I doubt it. Yeah go carts! -

Last Season for MB Pavilion is 2006
bgwfreak replied to Edwardo's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is such sad news. Greed is NOT good after all. Hurricane was not rough at all on the hills in 04 but the helixes killed you. Hopefully it will find a new home and get BANKED helixes. I wouldn't mind seeing the top spin make it's way to Carowinds. -
Roller Coaster Riding World Record
bgwfreak replied to Eagle Rider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'd say a rollerskater from Vekoma. not! I guess I'd pick Apollo's Chariot if I was stupid enough to marathon that long on a coaster. It's comfortable and fun. -

Being a huge fan of Pop up video I loved loopy's the best. -
SFMM Mark Shapiro meeting for employees
bgwfreak replied to wrs28330's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm very impressed. I hope he can get things going in the right direction. I agree that you don't need a new coaster every year. customer service has got to be #1 and they don't even come close to that right now. -
Beech Bend Press Confrence Photo TR
bgwfreak replied to USRoadTripper's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Been there done that!!! Did you stop by the Corvette museum just up the road? -
^ I'm sorry but I don't buy that argument. If he was terrified of the ride he would have never gotten on it. It's like that guy that was on an invert and slipped his way out of the restraints. People don't get out of a moving ride because they are scared of the ride. If he was scared of rides I doubt he would have been on it to begin with. Or take the case of the woman that died at Holiday World. Why in the world would you take your seatbelt off and stand up on a coaster?

You know you're a Six Flags park if...
bgwfreak replied to coasterdude5's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You know you're a Six Flags when they should rename "Fear Fest" "Gang Fight Fest". Gang Fight: The Ride coming to SFOG in 2006!!! -

There's something odd about that Deja Vu pic. It shows it running! -
A musing on how perspectives change
bgwfreak replied to USRoadTripper's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What a sore subject for so many Nashvillians. They tore down your park for a - MALL! I went in 82 and the last time in 89. Chaos was one of the weirdest coasters I've been on. The s/fx were so cheesy it was pathetic. -
Park enthusiasts are overweight ...
bgwfreak replied to Sir Clinksalot's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Americans in general are getting fatter. Go to any mall and you'll see the same thing. It's disturbing though to see small children that are so fat they can't walk correctly. -
Hey Alveys, Hope all is well... Just wondering if you had ever posted a POV of Hades or any video of it at all? I think you guys had gone earlier this year and was curious. Can't wait for your Europe DVD!!!

Vekoma Boomerang Has A Rollback?
bgwfreak replied to PhishyBrewer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Amen to that sister! And as far as the brakes on Hypersonic's front side, yeah they engage you can hear them release after the train goes over every time. It seems like just barely tap the train though. And no I'm not thinking of the huge air release from the compressor you hear after it launches either
