Haha, whoops! I should have known, but I have never been to Port Aventura, so I don't know the area too well -

How can it look something if they have not started building anything yet??!! Then what are the construction pictures on the previous page? -

Is it me, or does this ride not look like a hyper? Judging by the construction photos, this ride does NOT look 200 feet tall. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
Jerrykoala2112 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
In my opinion, I think Holiday World is impressed with how smooth Voyage is with the Timberliners, but I think they are worried about the lack of airtime the train will give throughout the course? I'm not sure how heavy the trains are, but the lighter the trains, the slower it will go during the hills, thus, creating a sort-of mild ride. -
Thorpe Park Discussion Thread
Jerrykoala2112 replied to Rooey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is it fair that B&M designed the same first drop for both Thorpe Park and SFGAm? Probably not... Especially because Thorpe was looking forward to a one of a kind type of first drop. Even though it isn't a THORPE PARK Inversion, I do agree that B&M is to blame! I guess both parks have the same taste in Wing Riders -
I have ridden those slides at Great America. I will admit, they were scary the first time I rode them, but I will never go on them again. Mainly because the drop is scarier than any drop tower I have ever been on, and I know what will happen when the floor drops (instant freefall) so I don't mind skipping it. The claustrophobia thing does happen in the capsules, it's very tormenting

What is the best floorless?
Jerrykoala2112 replied to ddaver177's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Griffon isn't really considered a floorless coaster, it's more considered a Dive Machine. According to RCDB, it's a Dive Machine that is a Floorless. http://rcdb.com/3631.htm -
What is the best floorless?
Jerrykoala2112 replied to ddaver177's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kraken, Superman Krypton Coaster, and Dominator are awesome for their reasons, IMO... Kraken has a really nice ending. Diving in and out of the tunnels, I had no idea where I was going. Superman just has a SUPER nice setting with a pretty wild ride. And Dominator itself has a really fast paced layout, especially with the overbanks. I really liked it! As for the floorlesses I don't know.... Bizarro... Batman - Dark Knight... Boring and didn't offer much. -
Most Exciting 2012 Coaster...
Jerrykoala2112 replied to RollerCoasterSmi's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
X-Flight. It's being placed at my home park, so it's something I plan on riding. Also, it's our last major addition in 2003, so I've very excited for it -
No, I don't think anyone would guess the name X-Flight for the ride. Thanks for pointing that out! And I'll be sure to be up in the morning to check what the addition is before school Actually, we've known it was X-Flight since Screamscape announced SF had trademarked the name, before the puzzle started. Yeah, sarcasm is hard to do over the inter-webs.

As I hate to go off-topic, but SFOG seems to have a near round collection of roller coasters. I wouldn't say you guys need something over 150 feet, but you guys do need something to replace the mediocre wooden coasters that you have. Your stand up is fine, and you guys have a nice collection of rides. Great America just needs something like a Wing-Rider due to the gap we had since our last major roller coaster (2003) .

The thing is, Dollywood is advertising it as the "First in the US" probably because they didn't know Six Flags Great America would be getting one. But even if they did know, I'm sure that won't stop Great America from also saying it their Wing Rider "Is the First in the US" because SFGAm is like that. Trust everyone, no one will be disappointed
