Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For all of those who are complaining about KD's new rides for 2009... GROW UP! Most parks get maybe one new ride every year. Your getting three! True, they're used, but still. You should be thankful that your getting anything at all for 2009, considering that you just got Dominator. -
The InBev/Busch Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to milst1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dammit!! I should have gone to Busch Gardens this year! Now I'm definitely going next year before something horrible happens to the parks. -
To pick the correct park...
Kennyweird replied to HHN Dylan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, if you want quantity, Cedar Point, SFGA or SFMM is the way to go. However, there are also plenty of small parks that offer some great coasters and a great atmosphere, such as Knoebel's, Kennywood, Holiday World, Lake Compounce, etc. Like Robb said, there isn't any one amusement park that has it all. I hope that helped clear things up a little bit. -

A shop were you can buy jaggermeisters, duh! What time is it? -
Liseberg Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to viking86's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That's the second Huss ride to have malfunctioned in the past two weeks. (Kennywood's Top Spin, King Kahuna, malfunctioned last week when the gondola failed to return to an upright position after the ride stopped.) -
Ride roller coasters naked? Sure, why not. It would be an excellent way for parks to boost attendance.

Photo TR: Coastin' by the Ocean with Derek and Nicole
Kennyweird replied to niiicolaaah's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I also love dark rides, and I find this picture very sad. It would of been really cool if they could've installed the coaster without interfering with the dark ride, but alas... -

Great pictures! -
Chance Rides Toboggan
Kennyweird replied to mikeandjoaquin's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Toboggans are very unique rides. They'll kill you, but nonetheless they're very unique. I rode on a few days ago at Trimper's, and it was fun until I got to the bottom of the tower lift hill thing. OMG, those bunny hills hurt!! -
Vekoma's new train designs
Kennyweird replied to Gav-'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hmmm, it is possible Vekoma could actually become a highly regarded coaster manufacturer? -
I found this and thought it was kind of funny.

This one is far worse.

The only sports team I really care to follow are the Steelers (or, as it's pronounced here in Pittsburgh, the "Stillers".
-
I saw it too and I agree. I don't understand why its rating is so low on rotten tomatoes and IMDB.

Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Kennyweird replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nope, they don't. It's a lot cheaper to tear it to shreds than it is to carefully dismantle it. -
Gee, I'd have to go with the pre-lift on the Thunderbolt at Kennywood. Its got two decent sized drops, an nice turnaround with some high laterals, and a little pop of air at the end (if you sit near the front, that is.)

Photo TR: Trimper Rides
Kennyweird replied to Kennyweird's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The welded sheet metal monster kinda gave that away. -
Hello everybody. I just got back from my trip to Assateague Island and Ocean City. One of the things I did on this trip was visit the boardwalk and of course, Trimper Rides. So, without further ado, I give you Trimper Rides (and a few other things as well.) Thanks for a wonderful night, Trimper Rides! (and Ocean City in general.) There was this crappy animatronic headless guy out front. He yelled things at riders like how they're going to burn in hell or something; I really wasn't paying attention to him. Ohh, it's a haunted house! (That I didn't ride.) Unfortunately, it's the strength game made by Zamperla, and not the wooden coaster made by Intamin. I promised El Toro would make a cameo, so here it is! XD Jolly Roger at the Pier. I didn't ride anything there because I'm not going to pay $20 to get some 'passport to fun' that I'm going to use to ride the Pinfari looper and then never going to use again. I'm a credit whore, but I'm not that much of one. Enough of Trimper's. Lets take a look at the other stuff on the boardwalk, like this guy playing two brass instruments at once. This is the infamous grammatically incorrect fun house. Can you spot the errors? Look, they even have accommodations for Jeff Johnson. Trimper Rides also has a decent selection of flats. However, I didn't ride any of them because the tickets are obnoxiously expensive and it takes something like 6 of them just to ride a single ride. That's my only real complaint about the park. This in one of the murals that adorns the wacky worm. Here you can see what appears to be a screaming dog about ready to run over a nauseous Pepé Le Pew with a skateboard. I have no idea how this is supposed to be child-friendly. This worm looks like it's been smoking something. It's a wacky worm. It's boring and somewhat rough. Deal with it. Time for some credit whoring! I don't think I could stand up even if I wanted to. It's amazing how something so pretty can be so painful. The typical post-boomerang expression. I was so dazed and confused after my encounter with the Toboggan that I accidentally got in the line of another pain machine, Tidal Wave. (Yes, I know my camera strap is in the picture, deal with it.) Ahhh!!! IT HURTS!! Make it stop!! Oh god, not the Chance Toboggan!!! "Arr, you scurvy dog! You've been meddling around in here too much! As punishment, I'm going to force you to ride... THE TOBOGGAN!!" Skull Mountain wannabe. Remember kids, make sure you have plenty of vitamin C in your diet or else you'll get scurvy and end up like this guy. Is it just me, or does this stone-drunk pirate bear a striking resemblance to Don Knotts? Ahh, a shark!! (The majority of Pirates Cove is made up of dioramas like this.) First up, Pirates Cove. I thought it was a rather decent fun house. Boo, it's got a boomerang! Yay, it's Trimper's!

What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?

Wacky Worm at Trimper Rides. -
Hidden Mickey!! I called it! (I know it has nothing to do with Disney, but still.)

This thread needs more mudkips. Ahh, much better.
