Dollywood Discussion Thread

I'm interested to hear how the drop is on this one compared to those ARM/Larson towers. I'd be amazing to have a drop like that combined with the views of the Smoky Mountains. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread

Honestly of the accelerators Storm Runner is my least favorite. It's still an excellent ride, but the bread and butter of the accelerators is the launch and Storm Runner's seemed quite a bit weaker than the others. -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Canobie Coaster replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It seems like most of new GCIs have really been winners in the airtime department (White Lightning, Gold Striker, etc) while their older ones were considerably tamer. Mystic Timbers looks great and should give awesome night rides like several of Kings Island's other coasters. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Amen to this. Without this trick, Magnum would be as painful as child birth. One thing to add on Iron Dragon is that last year they started experimenting with VR on it. Not sure if they are still doing VR, but if they are, it may be by reservation only. -
Six Flags Food
Canobie Coaster replied to CaptainCrush's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Funniest part is that it's not even isolated to just Great Adventure. Six Flags New England has the same type of options on their page as well (Six Flags New England Food). I love when places show calorie counts. I use it to see which dish gives me more food most of the time. However, I feel like in this case I'm not getting 3X the food as a steak burrito or else Six Flags is dumping all the runoff grease into the beef. -
Lake Compounce Discussion Thread

So many of Lake Compounce's Facebook followers will be disappointed that Wildcat doesn't have loop-de-loops when they show up this year. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Canobie Coaster replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Even Cedar Point's smaller coasters are quite good. Blue Streak has some amazing airtime, especially up front, and is a solid 9/10 ride. The others not to miss are the Intamins, the B&Ms, Magnum, and Gemini. Iron Dragon, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Corkscrew, and the kids coasters can be skipped. Wicked Twister is worth it since its the best impulse and it never really has a line. -

Those look like the signs I make in Roller Coaster Tycoon. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread

When I went on a Saturday in July last year, lines weren't too bad. I got a FastLane to ensure many rerides on Fury, but most of the coasters were walk-ons with the exception of Nighthawk (looked to be about an hour), Fury (30 minutes midday, more at night), and Intimidator (15-30 minutes). Even Afterburn had no line all day. The park really hauls in getting out dispatches. -
PortAventura Discussion Thread

I'm really interested to see how the straighter drop rides compared to the twisted drops on Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka. The ride looks great! -
Dollywood Discussion Thread

The second half of Mystery Mine is perfectly smooth, but the first half had some headbanging transitions. I was able to have a comfortable ride by leaning my head forwards since I'm used to doing that for Untamed. -
And I thought I was unlucky for missing Joker in my 3 visits last year. Seems like that ride is never open. I'm jealous your Six Flags opened a week earlier than New England's. Granted we did have a Nor'Easter this weekend so it'd be doubtful they could open anyway. Just one more week I have to wait.

Liseberg Discussion Thread

If Kanonen were actually going to Grona Land, I'd say they don't have room but they proved me wrong with that B&M invert. Great April Fool's prank by the park!
