Best coaster ride when raining
xChris125x replied to verticalzero's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If the system is not launched after so long it powers itself down. By launching a train every so often during weather related downtimes the system is always ready to go. Pun intended... -
Best and Worst Rides for Maintenance
xChris125x replied to Solipsisto's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Having operated Top Thrill Dragster, I think it's easy to say that it's a maintenance nightmare. It just simply cannot run open to close without breaking down. It was never able to all summer. -
Kennywood (KW) Discussion Thread
xChris125x replied to DenDen's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
PR will frequently run two trains. It just never opens with both trains -
If, on very slow days, some rows are roped off I think that's ok. I've seen Dragon Challenge with a sparse crowd and it takes more time for the ops to buckle all the empty seats when guests are allowed to sit anywhere compared to just leaving empty seats buckled and only having to push the restraint down.

Looks awesome! Love the name -
Record 8-looping terrain Arrow coaster filled with all the Arrow qualities and an 80's remix. As with all my rides so far, this was hand-built. Let me know what you think!

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Dragster eats up enough wheels already. The last thing Dragster's wheels need is more running time. -

What coaster would you rebuild?
xChris125x replied to Skramp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Steel Phantom reimagined and rebuilt by B&M. I feel had Kennywood waited a few more years when B&M started to take over the market the coaster would still be around today. -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
xChris125x replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Cedar Point still has 'America's roller coast' or 'Only park with four coasters over 200' tall' or 'Park with the first coaster over 200', 300', and 400'". I doubt not having the most really bothers them. -
Photo TR - A.J. goes to a Six Flags Park!
xChris125x replied to A.J.'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Of course I wore that shirt! Gotta represent my ride haha And no I did not enjoy KK. I mean the OTSRs and tower brake fins are a fun jab at KK, but it was unacceptably rough. I've ridden it several times over the past year and this has be a recurring complaint of mine. Two of the four of us had headaches after riding. It's amazing how maintenance really does make a difference. Also goes for Green Lantern which shuffles significantly more than Mantis. +1 for CP -
