Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America Waited 1 hour and 30 minutes for it, but still had a fun ride.

As soon as you said this, I went to see if there was a coaster somewhere close to the Himalaya Mountains, and I got one! I found this Jungle Mouse roller coaster on RCDB with some browsing... http://rcdb.com/9646.htm I did some research, and it is located in Lhasa, China. I decided to research how tall Lhasa, the city itself is, since the park is in the middle of the city, and stated that " At an altitude of 3,490 metres (11,450 ft), Lhasa is one of the highest cities in the world" So this would place the theme park at around 11,450 feet! Although I don't have a PTR of the park, I probably won't visit it anytime soon!

How do all the hints lead to this coaster though? I know the Galaxi picture has to do with Pinfari, but what about High Roller and the Russian Flag?

Wow, that was a tough round!

Sky Mountain at Mirabilandia....?

Windstorm at Playcenter Sao Paulo?

Is it on a TPR Trip that is happening now / will be occurring later this year?

Yeah, that video was pretty dull, but I thought it did a great job showing off the ride. It does look like a nice ride on the beach, I even saw some of the arms swaying! In my opinion, Cedar Point has an awesome flat ride collection, with Wind Seeker being icing on the cake. MaXair and Skyhawk are both awesome thrill rides, but they also have the older flat rides, well done! I hope to visit some time in the future, but Demon Drop will always be missed Also, am I the only one that finds it scary that when you're at the top of Windseeker, you're higher than the spikes on Wicked Twister?! That's so dang tall!

Great report and photos, you showed the whole park very nicely. La Ronde doesn't look that bad of a park! I'm really looking forward to it on the North East Trip, especially Goliath, Cobra, and Le Monstre. It's a bummer that they stack trains, even when running 2 trains. It looks like a well-rounded theme park and must be a Montreal treasure to have this park still operating! It was a shame Cobra was closed the day you guys visited, I really hope it's open when I'm there... Gotta ride the all important Intamin Stand Up

I gotta agree with the Batman queue's inside the building. I think 15+ years of sweat inside a black building can really turn out to be something bad. The Batman at SF Great America I refuse to ride if it's not a walk on because just waiting in the stair case cluttered with people is just awful! And about Nitro's queue wait signs... I'm pretty sure Six Flags exaggerates the wait times just a bit to encourage people to get flash passes.

Nice trip report, the photos weren't too bad. I was lucky enough to go to Islands of Adventure this February, but it was far too cold to ride the river rapids, and the log flume ride was still closed from the fire. Jurassic Park is definitely a ride worth checking out, such a great ride. I agree that Harry Potter is a great ride! Definitely beats out Spiderman, but if you don't know the story line to Harry Potter, the ride will be very confusing! I knew nothing to Spiderman and the ride caught on very fast... Thanks for posting!

I went to Liseberg in 2009 and really liked Kanonen, so I snapped a shot and voila! My avatar that I still have today.

Flashback at Six Flags New England

Orient Express at Palace Playland

Alpine Bobsled at Great Escape and Splashwater Kingdom? It was relocated from SFGAm which has an almost clone of the Coney Island Cyclone...

Alright guys, I have finished my awesome Vintage Acres to help ensure Teh Big Dipper would operate for generations to come! Let's take a very quick tour of the park, but you really should just download the park by pressing the huge Download button at the top of this post! P.S. This is the first time I'm every doing any challenge / first time uploading something to the exchange. Please let me know if I did it right! Thanks in advance SCR4.BMP 2,000 people? Check 600 Park Rating? Check Loan Paid Back? Check Awesome Park? Check SCR5.BMP Here's an overview of Vintage Acres... The paths in the park are in a square, so no peeps will get confused on where to go. There's also a lot of room to expand for future developers. (That's for anyone that downloads the park and wants to work on it for awhile!) SCR10.BMP This is Vitegobanan, my Schwarzkopf looper. It's definitely a park favorite, because even with a 2,500 person capacity, a line somehow manages to form! It operates with 4 trains and light stacking, I'm impressed! SCR8.BMP This is Fortress, my Schwarzkopf Jet Star... It's heavily wooded and is a family favorite. SCR9.BMP Last, but not least, is my Arrow corkscrew / looper, Sky Loop. Another high capacity thrill ride that is very popular among the park guests, definitely something to check out.

Oh god, cause I did not see this on the first post. I'm gonna see how far back I saved it, otherwise, it's back to square one

Thanks to everyone that left a comment! All appreciated! My thoughts exactly! Never seen a coaster with most unrealistic supports out there! Thanks! The Orlando Sea World is a much better park, and the Manta scenery is simply stunning. San Antonio is pretty average and very light compared to Orlando. And, you can see over the trains, but I just think it doesn't appear well in pictures. Thanks! Yeah, I bet the park has changed a lot since then.. (Especially with the additions of Great White and Steel Eel!) It was definitely.... extreme! Rumors say that it has shorter track length, so the the loops and turns would be a lot tighter. You could definitely feel it because my blood rushed to my legs during all the turns and corkscrews and I was graying out left and right, it was just crazy! Fun ride, but a little too forceful. Yeah, many log flumes seem to be getting the chopping block! We went right when Texas Splash Down opened and there was definitely a line forming. Although, you could tell the ride was not aging well because the edges of the flume were folding out and there were leaks in many spots (Maybe there are suppose to be, but didn't look pretty.)

Just a quick question... Is there a limit to how long we can work on our park? I know the actual park in due June 20th, but do you care if we have Year 6 or Year 27 on our parks?

Just something I whipped up. Personally, this contest should be renamed to "Try to keep this park in business" because I was on a very tight budget for about the first three years! I'm almost done, and the objective will be complete by the time the park comes. I'll upload it later this week! Just gotta add some scenery, and tidy up the park a tiny bit. P.S. I had to delete the Arrow Looper and the Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop because they were just not okay in my book. They were blocking expansion and I didn't like how they looked too much. But, Teh Big Dipper is my guests's most favorite'd attraction

I'm giving this one a shot, mostly because you can't use Custom Scenery... Now I might have a chance at creating something cool!

I thought the same thing. She kind of disappeared halfway through the 2nd season, which is a little sad. I didn't really like the season finale. They could have made it more dramatic... Like how Quinn had her baby the last time. I don't know, but it was still a good season overall!

Just a random question.... Were you the couple that marathoned American Eagle blue side in the back before park closing? I went to SFGAm yesterday as well, and got 10 rides on American Eagle red side before park closing... Turned out to be a great day!

Great PTR! Even if the line cutters were getting out of hand, what you did was a good thing. I went to SF Great Adventure on a hot, July 2009 sumer afternoon and my mom and I were in line for the rapids. They actually had SECURITY standing above the line, and people were always being sent to the end of the line because they attempted to cut, and I have never been more proud of a park. But like you said, I wouldn't expect a family sized park like Waldameer to have line security... I really don't attempt to stop line cutters unless I'm with a bigger group of people, because if you don't have a big group, you lose that intimidating factor. Thanks for the pictures as well, Ravine Flyer II looks really fun!
