Six Flags Magic Mountain Terminator Salvation: The Ride
Emiroo replied to robbalvey's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Coaster is looking good, but I don't think I'll ever understand the choice to go with the Terminator theme. Termitenator...maybe. But who cares. A new ride is a new ride regardless of the name. -
Any new TPR shirt designs in the works? I'd like to have a t-shirt with the tri-color logo that's on the hoodie, but that's just crazy talk! Thanks for listening.

Maggie or Millie quickly come to mind...but then there's always the classic Eejanaika and my personal favorite Flight Deck (as mentioned above).

Shane's Amusement Attic

Wow! I watched Theme-Parks-a-Go-Go when it originally aired many, many years ago. Never thought I'd get to see it again. Amazing...I'm starting to wonder what don't you have in that wonderful closet of yours! Keep the good stuff coming! -
How many times the same ride in a day ?
Emiroo replied to mingsai's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I got 8 re-rides in a row on Raven at Holiday World on opening day this past season. I had 13 rides on it total that day. I tried to pull off the same thing on Voyage at an ERT event as well, but was spent after 3 consecutive rides. All these rides taught me that it is indeed about quality, not quantity, as none of the repeat rides were as memorable as some other single rides I've had on them. -
My kids love this show. At first you think it's retarded, but then it sucks you in. The songs are quite catchy and actually very intricate musically. I am quite sure that I'll never be able to get "Party in my Tummy" and "Hugs are Fun" out of my head...ever.

"Show Me Your Clam..." Classic! Glad you came back to finish this TR. It's great!

Great TR and great tradition. That snot sign from ICE will have me laughing for the rest of the week!

Ever been on a coaster when it vallied?
Emiroo replied to bspellx5's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^ It depends on how far the train is from the brake block and/or what elements are in between. In many cases, they will use a crane, tie a cable to the train and do a pull through to the next block whereafter gravity does the rest. Though in some situations, they simply take the upstop wheels off the train and use the crane to move the train completely off the track and back to the station. -
Excellent TR! I especially love how you point out so many "first times" and things you don't have in the UK! It adds tons of charm to the report! Keep it coming! Oh and "Millennium Flyers" are a certain style of train found on wooden coasters.

Parks Coasters and Rides in Movies and TV
Emiroo replied to spike's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The opening to Knocked Up features several Knotts Berry Farm coasters. And there is a great little bonus on the DVD about one of the actors who was terrified to ride the coaster (Silver Bullet) and what happened when he got on it. You can also watch the bonus in full here: -

Loving this great TR, but I can't hold my tongue any longer: Dude, your Dad looks scarily like Johnny Ringo (Played by Michael Biehn) from Tombstone (Especially at the Space Center) - -

Crystal Wings looks unbelievable! I wonder what cost more, the coaster or the theming? -
Coasters you have been on that are gone now
Emiroo replied to pkdcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Just about everything that was at Opryland including: Rock n Rollercoaster Chaos Wabash Cannonball Screamin Delta Demon Etc. The only ride I never made it on there was Hangman. I sure do miss that park.
