If uh, the train didn't engage the roll back, Why don't they put the roll back system towards the front of the train more? -

Well, look at wild mouses. They only sit 4 people. And they get up to 900 pph. Which is semi-good. -
Now that I read that article, I can EASILY see SFA going. And can almost perfectly see Housing sitting on its land. Condo's and Townhouses just opened accross the street from the entrance, I can see them coming across the street into SFA land if it's sold.

Ever had a black out on a coaster?

Uh, how exactly are we supposed to get milk at a theme park? -
Good, sell SFA to someone that will actually get there employee's to do something. Oh, and to keep rides open.

Hershey Park
okinawaboy11 replied to rollercoaster1234's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm sorry but that doesn't seem enough for a 100th year anniversary. Look at SFGAm, they sprouted up a FULL scale water park with 15+ slides. This park is only going to have...4? Come on Hershey do better than that. Still, I like the theme, HP is still due for a water park. so in a way, its a good move. -
Wow, what a great way of seeing this thread and spontaniously LMAO!

Non Racing Colossus at SFMM
okinawaboy11 replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember when I first rode American Eagle. It didn't race. Then I rode again like 5 weeks later. It raced. It was the most fun thing in the park. I would ride over and over. I loved the watching the train fly by, then catching up in the helix. -

I didn't get my movies in the mail. Because I didn't order any. Pop's has a thing about ordering stuff online. Although, some persuasion might help. I'll start. -
Ever had a black out on a coaster?
okinawaboy11 replied to Dark Vampire's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've greyed out, but not blacked out. I saw it all on the National Geographic Channel. Yes there is a difference. Blacking out, you either don't remember, or faint. Greying out, is when you can't see anything. It's happened to me multiple times. Always on Two Face's return run. Sometimes on Superman: RoS's pointless first helix. Oh, and on most carnival rides. -
Volcano / Flight of Fear

More Staff? JJ is the same ride and only has 3 ops. Even if they have the extra unload station isn't that like...4 ops? maybe 5? That's still not a lot of ops. -
Ok, that video was really cool. BUT They should have credited the Alvey's for the POV fotage. Period. And. Maybe he or she should have asked first also.

Yay working pictures Okely Dokely, so here goes. I was invited by the Eastern PA Rep of ACE to go to Lakemont park for *FREE* ERT on Skyliner because the Minor League Allstar Game was in town. Sooooo I asked zeee papa, and he say Wii! So we live in Germantown MD. And for those of you that don't know, its a good 2 and a half hours up to Altoona. Which was ok with me, my dad, and my brother. So we began zee journey. Turns out, Google maps said 3 hours exact, but then mapquest said 2 and a half hours...Mapquest won. Actually...The navigation in the car won. It calculated 2 hours and like 16.4325363543 minutes. Anywho, we got there, and well we walked into the management thingy office and got our free all day ride tickets. BTW it was like 6 when we got there. Ok, is it me? Or is Lakemont park the Six Flags of Small family owned parks? Not the operations (Which were decent) but how many Punk little teens and there friends were there. DAMN. Anywho, your reading for the coasters We headed to Leap The Dips first. Which I was REALLY excited for. Sure only like 9 foot drops. But still, oldest in the world? Who wouldn't want to ride it? Turns our we waited like 30 minutes because one, they were only running one car. And two, they would only let a MAX of 2 people in the first row. No one in the second row. Why? Dunno. Anywho, I really like it, sure it wasn't the high tech thrills of today but it was SO fun. It just made me laugh so hard. Maybe its the small thoughts in the back of your mind that it feels like the car is going to jump the track, and possible the structure feels like its going to fall apart. (Which it did almost, it did come a little off the track when we went over one of the dips). After that, we uh...rode the Skydiver. Ok, I saw one of these on like RCT or something, and I REALLY wanted to ride it. Ha...ha.ha.ha. YEAH never again. I squeased in there with my bro (Which will be pictured below). Right away I felt claustraphobic, which rarely happens to me. The entire time i was screaming soooo much. But it wasnt the AHH im going to Die scream, it was more of the ehhh this is kinda fun....but I still might die in the process scream. Let's just say when it went backwards it was MUCH better. After that we walked around, got some food. Rode most of the flats. Which were really fun. Then...Tobbogan. NOT the best Idea. For years I've always seen pics of Chance Tobbogans and just wanted to try them. so I did. Well all in all, lets just say I won't be riding it again. Ever. Then we headed over to Skyliner. That was where it was all at. I mean ALL of it. Skyliner is such a classic. It's smooth, fast, and Airtime Filled. And when I say airtime filled, I mean, like Millennium Force first drop airtime. Superman: RoS airtime. Voyage airtime. EL TORO airtime! Yes, tis true. I rode the very last seat for my first ride. NOT a good idea. Why you might ask? Because I wasn't prepared for whats ahead. So I pull the simple buzzbar down. And I'm off. Fast chain. Turn and drop. OMFG. I and launched out of my seat and slam my thighs onto the buzz bar. Jesus, if that thing wasnt there I wouldnt be writing this TR . Anyways the ride is just SO re-rideable because of the airtime. And in the front its the same. No airtime on the first drop, but when you go back up into the turn around, theres almost the same or more airtime than in the back on the first drop. Yeah, ya'll HAVE to go ride this coaster. It really is a classic. Uhh yeah we got about 2 hours (Maybe a little less, but I arrived earlier so I got even more rides) and about 45 rides. Watched about 15 minutes of the baseball game stopped on the lift yeah we had the best seat in the house. Then we got to watch fireworks after the ERT. Plus we got free food too. It was awesomely wicked. Thanks Lakemont Park! Pictures Below. (Let's hope I get them in order this time.) Told you so! Going down the hill pictured above. We discovered something frightfully delightfull. Our SUV was getting....53.7 MPG!?!?! Hybrids rule! Some valley in Maryland on Highway 70 in approx. 10 minutes..those clouds will dump about 3 inches of rain on us. AND flip a Ford F-150 over and cause mile long delays We had some WICKED weather on the drive home For all you flower enthusiasts. For all you Italians out there, we ate here for lunch. NoOoooOOOoo it's to early to go home (PS its the next day. We stayed at the Ramada, which was actually OK.) More Fireworks These are the best kind of fireworks. The ones that crackle Weee chaser lights Mmm the back. My brother, me, and some dude Ok ok, I have to admit. That seat above, is the ONE seat that sucks to ride in. It hurt so bad. All the others ofcourse. Are nice and smooth. More Riders. Ha back seat = the best. Ugh if you REALLY wanted to see, here's some baseball.I'm not gunna lie, that is the nicest Minor League ball park I have ever seen. It's like a mini camden yards. Airtime at both ends. The Drop and when coming up into the turn around. Teehehehehe giggle giggle giggle! This is to show you how close Skyliner and the ballpark are to eachother. Ball park Ha. To bad they suck. Oh and btw for all of you other people who have lives besides coasters (ha right like theres people on this site like that) Ichiro in person, is a realy prick. My brother and I met him once, he's in it for JUST the money We got all this plus 3 drinks for like 13 bucks. see six flags, dont be afraid to lower food prices. You will still be able to keep your parks open! Can you say 5x better than Six Flags America food? Yes. The Ride of Doom slash(/) semi-fun Psh, the only one that will pwn you in this game is meh!!!111!!@#$^@ Mas rides. Signature shot worthy? You decide. Tehehe this ride makes me giggle like a little school girl Come on Howie! You get to ride the oldest coaster in the world. BE HAPPY! We arrive to mist and clouds clearing after a rain storm from the valley that the Park is situated in. It was a beautiful sight.
