What are some loud rides and coasters?

Superman: The Escape no doubt Batman: The Ride has a pretty great roar to it (which I love the roars on B&M Inverts) -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
BJS1981 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I doin't have any weird things people have said, but I do have one where something stupid was done. one time I was at SFOG back when Viper was there. in the evening, the crowds were light and I was able to ride Viper many times back-to-back. well, on one ride after one of the ride-ops got through checking the train, she hopped in the seat next to me and the train just took off and she didn't even have the lap bar down. I'm like what an idiot. she could've gotten fired if she had been caught. MAJOR safety violation! the GP aren't the only stupid ppl in the parks! -
SFoG is a pretty good park when everything is running. I do say they could add another coaster or 2 and a few more flat rides (I.E. Huss Giant Frisbee, Mondial Inferno, Tivoli Re-Mix, KMG XXL, Kamikaze, Fabbri Evolution) also, to really enjoy the park, you have to be there on the right days. some days you just really get all the riff-raff, some others you get super extreme crowds, and the rest of the days where the crowds are light are the best days to go. that's when you get to ride pretty much whatever is running and just really enjoy the scenerey and not have to worry about fighting lines and people. and yes, what is up with Ninja's lake being drained?

Photo TR: Off-Season Aerial Shots over Cedar Point!
BJS1981 replied to bgroodog's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
beautiful pics! in some shots, Millenium Force really dwarfs the other coasters. how long was the flight and was it specifically to take pics? -

I've had "fried coke" basically, it's funnel cake minus the powdered sugar, soaked in coke / pepsi with whipped cream on top served in a cup. it is different, I tell ya that

-Basketballs -screaming people that scream at innapropriate times -navigating practically the whole length of the queue of rides that have very long queus (ie @ SFOG: Batman The Ride, Superman - Ultimate Flight) that have basically walk-on waits (come on people, throw in a short-cut to the station!) -people stopping in front of you for no reason -people that hang out at the park and don't ride anything -expesnsive food / drinks -concession stands next to a ride that have a serving window for the ride's queue (and people stop to order something and try to rejoin their group that has moved on to the other end of the row) (ie. Georgia Cyclone) -idiots that rock the boats on those calm water rides (Monster Plantation) -the extremely long line for the front seat on coasters that's backed up to when you enter the station -waiting in line for a long time and then the ride closes just before you get to ride due to a little sprinkle

Theme Park Audio MP3s
BJS1981 replied to dougstanton's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've always wanted a good clip of SFOG's Monster Plantation song. even though it's the same thing played over and over, it still rocks! -
Singapore Flyer Fire Traps Tourists
BJS1981 replied to Airtime&Gravity's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Three malfunctions in less than a year....it seems the wheel is more troublesome than it's worth. Kinda like Deja Vu was. -
I saw on a website that lists stats on the rides that travel everywhere in different countries (i.e. number of trailers, passengers per load, etc...). And on the page for Mondial's Inferno (more popularly known as Airwolf), that they state that the ride is not US road legal for interstate travel without special permits. what is the case on that? is it because the ride is so huge or what? http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/inferno.html
