Maybe the record they are breaking for this ride is "World's Newest Inverted Coaster" -

I don't see the ride being 250ft tall, but 200 feet could be more believable. Alpengeist is 195 ft and I can't imagine an invert much taller than that. Alpengeist has so much speed at the beginning of the ride that it doesn't feel like most inverts until after the MCBR. Just look how crazy tall the drop is! -

That looks like a Batwing to me! And I'm just disappointed since Kings Island could have added multiple rides in SOB's location, but I'm okay with a huge invert as well! -

Yes, cause Kings Island's last B&M was soooooo good -
When you have a home park like SFGAm, walking up to a merry-go-around like the one at SFOT's is like walking up to trash. It's a bummer that the park turns into an oven in the heat (especially on rides with no shade) but it's still one of my favorite Six Flags parks. Thanks for posting photos, you really lucked out on riding NTAG a few days before the accident!

How many times the same ride in a day ?
Jerrykoala2112 replied to mingsai's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've done 15 rides on Demon at Six Flags Great America while waiting for the water park to open. Rode 15 times on Buccaneer Battle the day it opened to the public (I rarely ride it now, hah) Also have done 14 rides on American Eagle Red side twice, and Viper 14 times in a row as well. When it comes to rides outside of my home park, I've done 13 rides on Boulder Dash and Bizarro at Six Flags New England. -
I never posted this in here, but I sailed on the Holland America Line's Ms Zaandam from Vancouver to Seward, Alaska from July 7th to July 14th and had an amazing time! The ship had great food and the ports we stopped at were amazing, Alaska is a beautiful place to visit. At times, you felt like you were on a floating nursing home, but that's just the type of people that tend to visit Alaska, but it was still a great visit. I don't have many complaints of the ship! It was larger than the Monarch of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) cruise I took to the Bahamas a few years back! Taken in Ketchickan.

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
Jerrykoala2112 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I rode American Eagle red side at Six Flags Great America yesterday. I was at the park on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday for meet-ups with friends from out of town. -
The Mega Dead Celebrity Thread

Yeah, its sad he passed away. Glee has been stumbling down hill the last 2 seasons and now with Cory (Finn) gone, I don't see it lasting much longer, even though he didn't have a big part in the last few episodes. -
Here's a quote from the proposal posted on page 294. "COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Although the cost to refurbish the three marquee rides that have been closed since 2007 (the Twisted Twins coasters and the Mile High Falls spill ride) is $4.2 million, it would cost $21 million to purchase these rides new today. In a sense, then, putting these rides back into service would be like adding three new rides worth $21 million for a cost of only $4.2 million. The following photos show several of the park’s marquee attractions and note the estimated costs to refurbish them."

Sorry to bump the thread! A little update on the status of the park. Link: http://www.adventureworldwarsaw.com/corporate-en/pressroom/articles/aww-changes-its-headquarters/ And my sister who lives in Poland at the moment, as well as my cousins that live in Warsaw never even knew this project existed until I showed them. For a park opening in 2 years and the citizens of Warsaw not knowing a park is being built isn't a good start.

Being a Teen Ride Enthusiast?
Jerrykoala2112 replied to ultradude306's topic in Random, Random, Random
I really haven't been outcast-ed as being the weird kid obsessed with rides, a lot of my friends actually think it's interesting that I like roller coasters so much. Being only 10 minutes away from Six Flags Great America, my friends always invite me to go with them and enjoy my presence. But everyone knows that they are GP, which is why joining TPR, I've met some great coaster friends to hang out with at the park. The only downside of being a teen enthusiast is Facebook. Some people are afraid to show that they love coasters on Facebook,while other's won't stop posting about it and I can see why non-enthusiasts might find it annoying. -
Haven't posted in this thread in awhile. In front of the Tower Bridge in London. Me graduating high school over the weekend.
