  1. The coaster looks great, but... why is the lift so freaking loud!?
  2. I thought Skyliner at Lakemont Park had some decent airtime on the first drop, at least in the back seat. Blue Streak at CP also had a pretty good first drop, if I remember correctly.
  3. It's nice to see the Laser has a new home, although it's too far away for me to ride it.
  4. JUSTIN BAILEY ------ ------
  5. Holy crap! I seriously think the engineers at PAX need to stop smoking crack...
  6. ^ It can't be because some of the track sections have a groove for a catch-car. But then again, you probably weren't being serious, were you?
  7. I believe that's at Trimper's Rides. There's a small, compact single loop coaster at one of the parks there I believe. The compact looping coaster is at Jolly Roger at the Pier. I saw it when I was there last July, but never rode it.
  8. Is it something from a seat belt?
  9. Great Photo TR. I remember passing by Cliffs on the way to Philmont last August. Looks like a great little park, I wish our crew had the time to visit, but unfortunately, we had an itinerary to follow.
  10. I guess that's what I was trying to say. They just need to make sure that this type of accident isn't likely to happen again.
  11. I'm just pointing out the obvious: Humans suck at operating machines. Computers do it better! If you think I'm dancing on graves, you've figured me wrong. Bring on Skynet! Unfortunately, computers can't think, that's why even the most sophisticated transportation systems usually have a human monitoring them. But yeah, it looks like the WDW monorail system could use some more computerization.
  12. I also think this sounds like a system failure, but I'm curious as to what sort of bizarre conditions would cause it to fail like this. At any rate, we can't be sure of anything until we have more details.
  13. A tree branch A baseball glove A foot A drawer and many other things I can't remember.
  14. ^This is generally when you should start giving hints.
  15. Idlewild, probably sometime next week.
  16. Today me and my cousin were in downtown Pittsburgh, so we decided to go check out Anthrocon, the weird furry convention they hold every year at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Me and my cousin both agreed, it was one of the weirdest and funniest things we've ever seen. (no offense to any furries out there)
  17. ^ I guess what some of us are trying to say is that a launched wooden coaster would just feel "wrong". I know, that's a pretty lame reason, but wooden coasters and steel coasters have traditionally given different ride experiences, and combining those two, IMO, would just produce a ride that feels stitched together and incredibly gimmicky.
  18. I thought the ride ops at Lakemont park seemed like they weren't paying much attention, but then again, I might be mistaking boredom for inattentiveness.
  19. that would be pretty awesome. But i guess they would have to redo the track thin so they dont fly off the track, maybe add a set of wheels underneath? id personally be fine with just magnetic braking and a traditional lift hill. Six flags needs to upgrade their wooden's to this because they love to get you goin as fast as possible then slam you into the brake run. Ummm, you do realize that virtually all wooden coasters have up-stops, right? I don't see any problem with a launched wooden coaster, but it does seem kind of silly. I mean, why bother with a launched woodie when you can have a launched steel coaster with inversions?
  20. Mine's a combination of "Kennywood" and "weird". Don't ask me why, it was late and I was tired.
  21. Some kind of motor?
  22. NO!!! Not Billy Mays! This week has really sucked.
  23. Leap The Dips, the world's oldest roller coaster.
