  1. Initially, I was P.O.ed, but then I watched a news report on how biased the media has been and then it hit me that I did not see many news reports on Anthony's side of the story. Yes, there are a lot of unanswered questions, but the jury didn't come to a conclusion by guessing.
  2. I can never hold a favorite song for long, but here's what I have to contribute Citizen Erased - Muse Everlong - Foo Fighters Highway to Hell - AC/DC Hotel California - Eagles Hysteria - Muse Hey Man, Nice Shot - Filter Been Caught Stealing - Jane's Addiction Savior - Rise Against Free Bird - Lynard Skynard Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who Feeling Good - Muse
  3. I just remembered one from about three years ago. On a Facebook page for roller coaster enthusiasts, one of the discussions was a game in which someone would pit two roller coasters against each other, and the next poster would choose which one is the better of the two. They'd then pit the winning coaster against another coaster. So I had picked Millennium Force from the last poster and pit it against Superman: Ride of Steel (now called Bizarro). The next person's response was something along the lines of, "Are you kidding? That's the stupidest post ever! There's nothing to compare, Millennium Force is like 100 feet taller. Since that post was so stupid, I'm going to skip over it. Millennium Force vs. Magnum XL 200" * My reply was something along the lines of, "Well, I was very interested to see the results of the two coasters that keep on making the #1 spot on the Golden Ticket awards, but I don't feel like argueing today, so I'll play your game (even though Millennium Force is 100 feet taller than Magnum )" * *The quotes are paraphrased because I cannot find the word for word exchanges, but I clearly remember a lot of the key words from both posts.
  4. I would have to say Time Warp and Nightwing at Six Flags New England. Though both rides had their reasons for their removals, it was shocking to see them go at the same time! From what I heard, Time Warp's engine exploded and Nightwing was a mechanical travesty. Both rides were prototypes and had no replacement parts, so their removals were inevitable. It's a shame since the park could really use some more good flat rides.
  5. Hearing that an Intamin pre-fab is being torn out for Son of Beast. What's worse than being in a sinking dinghy in the middle of the ocean?
  6. I rode Bizarro yesterday and the audio still cuts in and out at points of high G-forces. It really is less annoying than the original audio, but I kept expecting something dramatic to be played over the drop. It just transitions from one song to the next, not very impressive. Personally, I had a better experience on the train that had no audio, but I actually wouldn't mind if a system like Hollywood Dream or HRRR was applied (wishful thinking, I know).
  7. I've never broken a bone or gotten stitches, but I have two quick stories. When I was little, my sister and I were playing around by the lake in our backyard. We had an old dock that we used to have in the water, but it had been taken out many years prior and was just sitting around in our yard. My sister and I decided it would be fun to jump up and down on top of the dock. Cue the swarm of angry bees... A couple months ago, I was going home from school. As I was at the top of the stairs to the subway, I hear a train coming. Assuming it was my train, I began to run down the stairs to try and catch it. Well, I missed a step and sprained my angle while my dignity tumbled down the steps faster than I did. Nothing cringe worthy, but those are my moments of stupidity for your entertainment
  8. Does this count as a credit? lol Seriously though, this really is an awesome concept. I love when amusement parks make even the smallest details (receiving your food) a unique, fun, and memorable experience.
  9. Flight Deck at California's Great America?
  10. Does the ride go upside down more times than any other coaster in the park?
  11. Is it an original design (not a clone)?
  12. ^/^^ and the one who said White Cyclone was like El Toro and Rolling Thunder?
  13. Getting into a fatal accident with a Pinto! EDIT: I guess that was a dead end question. Changed it so we can continue. What's worse than biting into an apple and finding a decapitated worm inside?
  14. my sister who lives in vegas told me As seen on the Speed: The Ride Thread http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58414 I think this quote would fit better on this thread. But still funny!
  15. 10. The Naked Gun 9. Akira 8. Jaws 7. Raiders of the Lost Ark 6. Schindler's List 5. Who Framed Roger Rabbit 4. Terminator 2: Judgement Day 3. Airplane! 2. Princess Mononoke 1. JURASSIC PARK!!
  16. Running out of water when you are on fire. What's worse than stepping on a sea urchin in the ocean?
  17. Anything made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (or Twilight) What's worse than travelling hundreds of miles to ride one specific coaster, only to find that the ride is closed for the week?
  18. ^Gah! You posted that just as I finished typing my essay on the Alpine coaster lol! Oh well, though I think this would only count for Jeff Johnson.
