What is it about Kingda Ka?
atem122 replied to DJSonic's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^It's because B&M rarely ever goes out of their comfort zone and they know what they're doing, which is a genius idea from a business standpoint. Intamin had a major screw up with the Tbars, but it's their launching rides that get the most downtime. Launches are highly complicated so you should expect downtime with it. And B&M has had problems with their chain lifts breaking, although I'm not sure quite who to blame for that one. But as I stated, B&M stays away from complex machinery and quick layouts (like Mavericks) which keeps their downtime on the down low. -
Entertaining, funny ride ops.

I was at Knott's on Friday, and some ride operator made this really freaky Jaguar voice in the line for Jaguar, it was especially freaky because the first time he did it, my friend and I were walking in the dark corridors of the queue and it was really freaking loud. The Silver Bullet ride ops always seem to be having fun too -

It makes the grizzly look too cute and cuddly, it needs to at least be dripping rabies foam -

^Intamin's technology usually does work, and at least they try new things, B&M is way too conservative, they're a park's greatest dream to own, but lack the balls that a coaster nerd wants!!! (usually) Intamin goes out and tries new stuff, and when you use unproven, experimental systems, you're bound to get some decent down time. -
I went to Knott's last Friday and my friends kept asking me if the ride would fall apart like in FD3, I said no, but I did tell them that people had fallen out of rides with the T bar!!!

Scream always bores me to tears, it rattle's like hell, and the only force it has is a second of some negative G's in the zero g roll

^If any company would name a coaster Insanity, it'd be Cedar Fair, the same company that named their Mexican restaurant: Fiesta BBQ, Mexican Food -

^If it's a hyper I'm 99% certain that it'll have the Dbehemothvu style seating And yes, the 14 year old joke was stupid and he was less mature for making that joke -
^To make it a ride that IS there.

I don't think I've heard anyone say anything about it, but the back side of the pier where Screamin, Fun Wheel, and Maliboomer are will be closed off during this right? Even though the best ride (Screamin) is back there, I guess the time it's running will be evened out by the park's later hours. I also must say that the technology going into this show almost sounds too cool to be true

Theme Park/Rollercoaster Documentaries
atem122 replied to andyuk200523's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^I 100% agree on the dork thing, they always seem to pick the biggest fanboys for a ride and it's always funny when I know more about a ride than the nationally broadcasted documentary about it. For instance when they say some ride had bone crushing g's and it's really forceless, or when they get the names of the elements wrong. I guess they are marketing towards the general public and not coaster nerds though. -
